from The Pakistan Experience · host The Pakistan Experience

As the founder of two successful companies, iTitans and Kommerce Hub, and an investor in over 10+ startups, I am passionate about fostering innovation and empowering the next generation of entrepreneurs. Through my initiative, Titan Hub, I mentor and guide young founders (typically under 30), providing them with the support, strategic insights, and connections they need to thrive. I also make pre-seed and seed investments, helping startups build strong brands, drive sales, and grow with purpose.With over a decade of experience in the tech industry, I’ve had the privilege of launching multiple products, assembling high-performing teams, and turning visions into reality. Along the way, I’ve faced challenges, learned valuable lessons, and celebrated successes, each step shaping my belief that technology should be simple, beautiful, and a true return on investment.I’m passionate about helping founders harness technology to fuel their growth and am committed to sharing the lessons I’ve learned to help them succeed. Outside of entrepreneurship, I’m a sports enthusiast, avid traveler, and lifelong learner, constantly exploring new cultures, particularly in South America and Asia. I’m excited to inspire others to embrace innovation, overcome obstacles, and build the future they envision.Instagram https://instagram.com/buildwithbabarr?igshid=MWQ1ZGUxMzBkMA==Facebook https://www.facebook.com/babar.arshad1?mibextid=ZbWKwLLinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/babararshadYouTube https://youtube.com/@buildwithbabar?si=YjQjBvP-wZCSH4enWebsite https://buildwithbabar.com/The Pakistan Experience is an independently produced podcast looking to tell stories about Pakistan through conversations.
