Islamabad, Pakistan – In a landmark move poised to reshape the country’s technology landscape, sAi Venture Capital has announced a strategic partnership with the Pakistan IT Industry Association (P@SHA) to accelerate Pakistan’s emergence as a global hub for advanced technology and engineering services.
Under this collaboration, sAi Venture Capital has committed to raise and deploy up to $100 million to help P@SHA’s member companies, particularly those focused on advanced engineering, scale globally and expand their footprint in serving enterprise clients around the world.
This major milestone marks a significant expansion of sAi’s operational investment model, which the firm has been executing for more than two years. While this model initially gained limited attention, it has since proven to be a powerful driver of sustainable growth in emerging markets—especially in technology-driven sectors.
“We were convinced early on that this approach would create meaningful value for all stakeholders,” said Mr. Ahsan Jamil, from sAi Venture Capital. “Our experiences over the past two years have only strengthened our belief, and we are now ready to scale our efforts with this $100 million mandate.”
The announcement was made during the Digital Foreign Direct Investment (DFDI) Forum, hosted by the Pakistan Software Export Board (PSEB). The event gathered key stakeholders from across the region to discuss strategies for boosting digital investment and innovation.
sAi extended special thanks to Sajjad Syed and the entire team at P@SHA for their vision and collaboration in bringing this partnership to life. Appreciation was also shared for Abu Bakar of PSEB, as well as Deemah AlYahya and Shaza Khawaja for their ongoing leadership in driving digital transformation across the region.
The firm also acknowledged the continued support of its General Partners, Sheraz J. Monnoo and Taha Naseem, for their instrumental role in guiding sAi’s vision and strategy. “Their friendship and partnership have been invaluable—not just to me personally, but to the mission we’ve committed to as a firm.”
As sAi embarks on this next phase of growth, the venture capital firm reaffirmed its commitment to its portfolio companies, strategic partners, and advisors, who have played a pivotal role in reaching this stage.
This strategic alliance is expected to catalyze the growth of Pakistan’s tech ecosystem, helping position the country as a competitive player on the global stage in advanced engineering and enterprise technology solutions.
