Honored to celebrate Women Entrepreneurship Day at ICMA Lahore!
Reflecting on a fulfilling 8-years journey of empowering women and nurturing entrepreneurial mindsets across Pakistan and internationally, I feel immense gratitude for the milestones achieved.
From launching programs like the Mother Entrepreneurship Camp at IBA-CED Karachi to empowering mothers, girls, and women across Karachi, Lahore, Quetta, and Faisalabad, our mission has consistently focused on promoting entrepreneurial mindsets rooted in our values, families, and communities.
At Akhuwat College Kasur, we are striving hard to inspire students from diverse and marginalized backgrounds to connect with their purpose and unlock boundless opportunities through entrepreneurial thinking to earn livelihood.
Through my venture, AURA360, we aim to cultivate the light of knowledge, character, and impact by integrating spiritual values and promoting lifelong learning. By simplifying theories like Effectuation and introducing interesting frameworks such as the WE-Plus Model, we constantly strive to make entrepreneurial thinking accessible to all — from children to senior citizens.
Women Entrepreneurship Day is not just a celebration; it is a call to action. By empowering women, we strengthen families, uplift communities, and contribute to a more resilient society. Together, let’s continue this journey of transformation and impact.
