[#Startistan] Episode 6 - Pakathon

Pakistan Podcast Company

In episode 6, we're in conversation with Asad Badruddin, co-founder Pakathon. Launched in 2013, Pakathon is a global organization with 85+ volunteers organized around eight volunteer chapters in the US, Canada, Middle East and Australia. By hosting events in cities abroad they connect the Pakistani diaspora to issues in Pakistan and scout for potential “Returners” – individuals who want to move back to Pakistan and do impactful work. Their flagship workshop is a global hackathon held simultaneously across all chapters that connects participants to domain experts and investors.
