Hassan Nisar, the Founder and CEO of Metrix Pakistan, recently praised the government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) for its continued support in helping foster a thriving business ecosystem within the region. During an exclusive interview, Nisar highlighted the crucial role played by various governmental departments, including the Directorate of Youth Affairs, in making Metrix Pakistan’s initiatives a resounding success.

Nisar said: “We have successfully held over 25 events, summits and networking forums under the umbrella of Metrix Pakistan in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa during the past few years.” “Such success would not have materialised without KP government’s full support because they backed our programs very strongly including all relevant ministers.”

Nisar claimed that out of all the governments he has worked with in Pakistan, the government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa stands out as most committed towards empowering its youth and developing the IT sector. “I have worked with different governments across the country but KP is unique in placing utmost importance on its youth and IT sectors,” he added.

Nisar pointed out how instrumental government partnership has been in luring foreign firms into tapping into domestic markets. “We are trying to assemble a strong ecosystem here in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa,” Nisar said. “Our intention is to attract multinational companies, encourage investments and create job opportunities for local youngsters. This is not purely a business venture; this will determine the fate of KP by giving our youth viable employment opportunities within their own province.”

The way Metrix Pakistan has held numerous events and summits in KP thus enhancing national and international firms towards economic advancement for this area. As Nisar put it, they are very important platforms for knowledge sharing, networking and collaboration besides enhancing the local economy.

Economic involvement rises instantly once we hold our conferences, Nisar said. All those who visit from every corner including outside Pakistan end up spending heavily on accommodation, travel and food while there are just small shops or hotels that thrive on those persons who came. Whenever these kinds of occasions occur within Khyber Pakhtunkhwa then it boosts up the economy drastically because thousands enter into such places simultaneously. Therefore it is necessary to organise more such events in KPK.

Moreover, Nisar reiterated that Metrix Pakistan would expand its service range so as to build indefinite growth possibilities within the region thanks to their continuous assistance by the government. “Our aim is to design a viable system which would benefit local public communities attracting major companies at every nook and cranny of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa… We cannot forget how much supporting the youth as well as focusing on IT has been done by the KP government, thus let us continue walking hand over hand in meeting each other’s needs to develop.”
