Islamabad : easypaisa Board Chairman Irfan Wahab Khan participated in the Paklaunch (PL) Islamabad Meetup, hosted in partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS) at the National Incubation Center (NIC), bringing together leading founders, investors, and ecosystem stakeholders from across Pakistan.
Islamabad-based gathering aimed to strengthen linkages within Pakistan’s tech ecosystem by creating a shared space for dialogue among entrepreneurs, venture capital firms, accelerators, and industry leaders.
Irfan Wahab Khan joined a panel discussion titled “Talent, Capital, and Traction: What’s Holding Pakistan Back?” alongside Faisal Aftab, Founder and CEO of Zayn VC, where speakers examined persistent challenges limiting the scale and sustainability of local startups.
“Pakistan has no shortage of ideas or ambition; the real gap lies in patient capital, execution-ready talent, and the ability to scale beyond early traction,” said Irfan Wahab Khan during the discussion.
Panelists emphasized the need for stronger collaboration between founders and investors, improved access to growth-stage capital, and policy continuity to enable Pakistan’s digital economy to compete regionally.
The Paklaunch Islamabad Meetup drew participation from startup founders, venture capitalists, and technology professionals, underlining Islamabad’s growing role as a hub for innovation and entrepreneurship.
easypaisa’s participation in such forums reflects its ongoing commitment to supporting Pakistan’s technology and fintech ecosystem by fostering informed dialogue, collaboration, and long-term value creation.
