Made by Shahzada Sultan Ul Mulk

Born in Chitral, I experienced the unparalleled beauty of Pakistan firsthand. My 5 years working in North American travel and tech made me realize the massive digital gap—and huge potential—for locals back home. I founded Pakistan Locals to bridge that gap and empower our communities.
