There is a big, wide gaping hole in the media when it comes to direct reportage from the growing Pakistani tech industry.
Sure, I get my regular dosage of news. Several forums and magazines do a decent job of covering the latest trends and major startups.
But what I’ve long found missing is a blogger’s voice; a dedicated channel which discusses what’s happening inside the belly of the evolving local industry instead of commenting from outside. The only major local blog in this regard had been ProPakistani.pk.
Well, not anymore, because PakWired.com is looking to dominate this space.
The owners say PakWired is “all about business, technology, and the startup culture in Pakistan. If you have an interest in e-commerce, telecommunications, or general business and technological advancements, you’ll love PakWired.com”
PakWired has only recently been launched in 2014. While the site isn’t exactly bursting with visitor comments, there is a healthy amount of content and lots to like already.
The site design is super-clean, and the owners have kept the place free of ads (at least for now), which is impressive. Let’s see if they decide to monetize it at some point ahead.
