In a significant move to boost Pakistan’s global tech presence, sAi Venture Capital has entered into a strategic partnership with P@SHA, aimed at accelerating the country’s emergence as a global technology hub. As part of this collaboration, sAi Venture Capital will raise and deploy up to $100 million to support P@SHA member companies—particularly those engaged in Advanced Engineering—in scaling globally and serving enterprise clients around the world.
This ambitious initiative builds on over two years of work by sAi in developing and executing its unique operational investment model. Once considered unconventional, this model has proven highly effective in emerging markets and has become increasingly recognized as a key driver of long-term growth. With this new $100 million mandate, sAi is now poised to expand its reach and impact significantly.
The announcement was made during the Digital Foreign Direct Investment (DFDI) Forum, where leaders from across Pakistan’s tech ecosystem gathered to highlight opportunities in the country’s digital economy. sAi’s leadership extended special thanks to Sajjad Syed and the P@SHA team for their vision and collaboration in bringing this initiative to life.
Acknowledgment was also given to Abu Bakar and Pakistan Software Export Board (PSEB) for hosting the forum, which provided the ideal platform for this strategic announcement. The event also drew regional attention, with figures like Deemah AlYahya and Shaza Khawaja praised for their efforts in championing digital transformation across the MENAP region.
The partnership is a major vote of confidence in Pakistan’s tech talent and innovation capacity. By focusing on companies working in Advanced Engineering, the fund aims to enable scalable, export-ready solutions that can thrive in international markets. It also represents a long-term commitment by sAi to nurturing high-growth potential within the country’s technology sector.
sAi’s General Partners—Sheraz J Monnoo and Taha Naseem—were also recognized for their strategic guidance and personal investment in the firm’s mission. Their leadership, alongside that of sAi’s broader advisory network and portfolio companies, has played a crucial role in achieving this milestone.
The collaboration with P@SHA is more than a funding announcement—it signals a shared vision to build a globally competitive tech ecosystem rooted in operational excellence and strategic collaboration. The $100 million fund will offer Pakistani tech firms not just capital, but also access to global networks, expertise, and enterprise markets, helping them scale faster and smarter.
This landmark partnership is expected to strengthen Pakistan’s reputation as a destination for serious tech investment and innovation, paving the way for more high-impact initiatives that support the country’s digital transformation.
