Badar spent two decades building Pakistan’s digital economy. As the first in-market representative for Google, Facebook, and Twitter in Pakistan 🇵🇰, he helped grow their local ecosystems and built the commercial and community infrastructure that made digital business viable in the country. He co-founded Bramerz, an award-winning AI-augmented digital marketing agency; Fishry, a B2C e-commerce platform enpowering SME brands; and Publishrr, the digital backbone powering news media companies across Pakistan. As the private sector lead, he co-authored Pakistan’s first national e-commerce policy. He also served as Chairman of P@SHA, the country’s apex IT industry body and Convenor of 1st-ever APICTA in Pakistan, the region’s largest IT awards.
That operating history is what distinguishes his perspective today. At LUMS, he serves as Executive-in-Residence (EIR) for the Masters in Technology Management & Entrepreneurship (MS-TME) program and co-directs “AI for the Boardroom” (AIBR) at LUMS REDC for board members and c-suite leadership. He helps them move from AI user to AI leader.
Badar’s work sits at the intersection of policy, strategy, venture building, and senior leadership advisory.
