Kewl Story Bro!
A great start for Pakistani start ups to audition on a Google forum. There is incredible talent no doubt but the hindrance block of safety is a dire situation in most of Pakistani cities. If the security season would be taken seriously where it's citizens demand a safe nation the flood gates of opportunity would allow the younger Pakistani generation to work, study & be a part of the global tech world. With tourists massacres & random acts of violence no decent reputable company wants to waste time with a nation thar refuses to heal itself of its violent tendencies. No matter how Pakistanis want to spin it....we are a dangerous country!
Good to know !
