He stated that Pakistan's increased IT exports, which totaled $149 billion in the previous year, are encouraging.
In his speech, Mahin Salman stated that professional educational institutions are working on developing industry-required curricula. Prior individuals used to get an enormous number of degrees yet they didn't land positions. Presently endeavors are being made to give proficient preparation as per the necessities of the current time in counsel with the business.
She went on to say that the startups that are still around today were just projects that started last year and have succeeded in launching today.
Speaking at the event, Nighat Awan, Senior Vice President of KATI, demanded that the IT sector's machinery and products be exempt from duty so that it can grow even more in the country.
