We need structured, intelligent capital \u2014 the kind that brings governance, investor alignment and long-term strategic thinking. This agreement is a major step in that direction.\u201d<br>As part of the collaboration, sAi will also join P@SHA\u2019s Government Relations &amp; Policy Committee; contributing directly to policy formulation and legislative reforms aimed at making Pakistan\u2019s technology ecosystem more investor-friendly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis partnership allows us to scale what we\u2019ve been building over the past two years,\u201d said Ahsan Jamil, Managing General Partner of sAi Venture Capital. \u201cFirms in Pakistan\u2019s technology sector don\u2019t just need cheques \u2014 they need capital that\u2019s aligned with global markets, structured for long-term growth and grounded in disciplined governance that helps them scale into trusted partners for enterprise clients worldwide. That\u2019s what this unlocks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The agreement comes at a pivotal moment for Pakistan\u2019s economy, as the country looks to stabilize its balance of payments and shift from consumption-led growth toward higher-value exports. Projections suggest that technology exports could exceed $3.5 billion in FY25, driven by global demand in software, AI and enterprise solutions.<br>\u201cThis isn\u2019t merely a capital partnership \u2014 it\u2019s a blueprint for building the financial and policy infrastructure our technology sector needs,\u201d Muhammad Umair Nizam, Senior Vice Chairman of P@SHA and Brand Chair, added. \u201cTogether, we\u2019re laying the groundwork to reshape how Pakistan positions itself in the global digital economy.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Karachi :&nbsp; P@SHA and sAi Venture Capital Sign Strategic Pact to Power Pakistan\u2019s Next Wave of Technology Exports, Partnership targets $100 million in investment in B2B technology companies to boost&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":28485,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[970],"class_list":["post-28484","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-national","tag-pakistan-software-houses-association-for-it-and-ites-psha"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theasiantelegraph.global\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28484","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theasiantelegraph.global\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theasiantelegraph.global\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theasiantelegraph.global\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theasiantelegraph.global\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=28484"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/theasiantelegraph.global\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28484\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28486,"href":"https:\/\/theasiantelegraph.global\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28484\/revisions\/28486"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theasiantelegraph.global\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/28485"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theasiantelegraph.global\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=28484"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theasiantelegraph.global\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=28484"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theasiantelegraph.global\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=28484"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
