Welcome back to Happa After 5!
Today’s guest is someone who’s been at the very centre of Pakistan’s tech industry and beyond for quite a while now: Sajjad Mustafa Syed. He’s the current chairman of P@SHA, the Pakistan Software Houses Association for IT and ITeS, which is basically the heartbeat of our local tech ecosystem — connecting people, pushing innovation, and making sure the industry has a strong voice.
But that’s just the start. Sajjad is also an entrepreneur and innovator, and even holds a patent for his award-winning IoT device, Brainbox. On top of that, he’s the founder and chairman of Excellence Delivered, or ExD, which is a multinational system integration company operating in Pakistan, the Middle East, and even the U.S.
So yeah, we’ve got a lot to unpack today, from his journey, to where Pakistan’s tech scene is headed, and maybe even what it takes to turn big ideas into reality!
