I've never been to Afghanistan.

Yes! There's a big local software dev industry in Pakistan but i work remotely for foreign companies.



Are there any interesting software projects coming out of Pakistan that you are excited about, but maybe outsiders may not be so familiar with?


I am not OP but similar area. There's quite a few startups. These days is good as there is a fair bit of interest in funding projects.

A few that come to mind that have recently raised funding are Airlift (Ride sharing but more mass transit based), Tello Talk(localized mobile messaging), Eat Mubarak(Food Delivery), PriceOye(online ecommerce), Marham(telehealth), Bykea(main is Rideshare but bikes since traffic cannot stop bikes).


Eat Mubarak is a pretty good pun.

Hey, if you're looking to find some and don't mind going through incubators and coworking communities, I could refer you to those in my network.


Hey Amin! It's nice to find you here. We exchanged a few emails about a year ago. I was looking for some advice. Thanks man! :)


Hey Arbab, I do, glad to run into you again :)


Mostly manufacturing. Pakistan, despite its poverty, is a gigantic market.

And endless human resources to man assembly lines.
