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