On the occasion, Murtaza Zaidi, Director, NIC Peshawar, said,
I’m excited about our collaboration with PTCL, as they have not only provided the opportunity to cultivate local entrepreneurs and startups, but they have also been involved in the journey from participating in mentor review sessions to taking specific startups under their mentorship.

The startups incubated at NIC Peshawar included E-Guard, robust monitoring system for electric generators, Azadi E-Bike, an electric bike that operates on a battery, Darewro, a door-to-door service provider in the KPK region, Bera, a brand that is working to introduce the Peshawari chappal into mainstream fashion, Eleven.pk, an online retail platform and NANO IT Solutions, a VR-driven motion platform.

PTCL also collaborated with NIC Karachi last year to mentor new startups and young entrepreneurs. These collaborations with NIC empower the startup culture in Pakistan, which is essential to boost the economy of the country. Not only does this enable startups to rebuild the infrastructure of Karachi and Peshawar in an innovative way, but also helps in improving quality of life for all citizens.

Being a national company, PTCL believes in providing opportunities to the youth and developing their talents for the future of Pakistan.
