Ara is vocal on many social issues such as freedom of speech and freedom on internet and has started a campaign named “Bolo Bhi” for that matter, besides being into entrepreneurship and technology.
“I am always looking for opportunities to share with the world what is happening in the tech sector of the country," Ara said while speaking to The Express Tribune.

“I am thankful to them for inviting me for such a great event where more than a thousand people would be in attendance. I am happy because it would be really amazing to let the attendees know about recent developments and innovation in the Pakistan’s tech sector,” she said.
“When they hear about these happenings, they might be willing to invest in the start-up programmes as we are facing a shortfall of foreign investment,” the tech entrepreneur added.
Two months ago, Ara also spoke at the Columbia Univeristy, New York on the developments taking place in the tech sector.
