28th ITCN Asia 2026

Pakistan's largest IT and telecom exhibition and conference, three days of exhibitors and sessions across cloud, AI, cybersecurity, fintech and telecom.

Had an incredible day at the 28th ITCN Asia! What truly amazed me was the scale of global participation, not just from Pakistan, but from companies and professionals around the world. It clearly shows how the international community is taking a strong interest in Pakistan's tech market.

The landscape is changing fast. Pakistan's tech ecosystem is growing, and global players are actively expanding here. Seeing Cisco leading the charge, along with strong presence from Dell, Epson, and many others, was truly inspiring.

Proud to be part of this journey and excited for what's coming next for Pakistan's technology industry.

It was a pleasure meeting Mr. Bayar Batjargal at ITCN Asia. One of the things I really enjoy about attending events like ITCN Asia is getting the chance to meet people from different parts of the world, hear their stories, and learn from their experiences.

Really enjoyed our conversation, Bayar. Thank you for the great conversation and, of course, for the goodies! Looking forward to staying connected and hopefully meeting again soon.

Conversations on technology and leadership

It was an incredible day at the World CIO 200 Summit & Awards 2026 (Pakistan Edition) in Karachi!

I had the privilege of meeting Dr. Erdal Ozkaya, President of the Global CISO Forum, and engaging in a meaningful conversation around Pakistan's technology ecosystem and the immense potential of our tech talent.

I truly appreciate Dr. Erdal Ozkaya's continued support and his vision to take Pakistani technology talent and expertise to the global stage. His commitment to creating greater global opportunities and recognition for Pakistan's technology community is truly inspiring.

Together, we can take Pakistan's tech talent global.

It is always a pleasure to meet Dr. Muhammad Ismail and engage in meaningful conversations around technology, leadership, and personal growth. His philosophy, thoughtful guidance, and unique perspective continue to inspire me to keep moving forward, embrace change, and flow with the river rather than resist the journey.

A special thank you to Dr. Ismail for introducing me to Mr. Masood Koreshi and Mr. Inayat Koreshi. I truly enjoyed the conversations with both of them and appreciated the opportunity to exchange thoughts on technology, entrepreneurship, and growth.

Keep learning. Keep connecting. Keep moving forward.
