Ah, the lack of a launchpad to build your dreams and take them skyward.

Be it a work in progress or just a plan in your mind – if you believe you have that entrepreneurial bug in you, The Nest I/O is the ideal place to nurture that untapped potential and make it your identity! Brainchild of P@SHA and backed by support of Google for Entrepreneurs, Samsung Pakistan and the US Department ofState, the Nest is steadily gaining attention because of its initiative to revolutionize the budding tech sector in Pakistan.

The Thought of it

The idea behind launching a place like Nest goes way back, and it was Jehan Ara, President P@SHA and a group of like-minded industry pros who came up with the idea of having a tech incubator in the buzzing city of Karachi. Joined by Partners Google for Entrepreneurs and Samsung along with a very generous grant from the U.S. State Department, that dream is now a reality and stands tall and proud in the centre of the city spanning over a massive 6500 sq ft space.

The Feel of it

Just take a sneak peek into the office once and you'll know what I am talking about. The Nest I/O is unlike any other office space in Pakistan, and the cool aura grips you instantly as you make your way through the chic interiors and colorful surroundings! Young entrepreneurs can nest in and make this place their home, and get access to a multitude of tech facilities as well as training boot camps, mentoring sessions and community events. Just think of the opportunities and avenues it can open for building your own brand!

The Look of it

Designed by a bunch of cool guys who clearly knew what they were doing was ultra amazing, the Nest I/O demands your attention from the very first glance. The creative whiz behind the venture Ms Jehan Ara, President P@sha and an enigmatic lady indeed, has infused her personality into every inch of the decor. The place shouts of vibrancy and energy and creates the perfect mood that start-ups and entrepreneurs need to get their creative juices dripping!

The Dream of it
