Career highlights

I started my company The Big Picture (TBP) back in 2016. It was the only female-led production company in Pakistan at that time. I was part of the company for three years. I also got published as a rising female entrepreneur for the biggest lifestyle magazine in Pakistan – Hello Pakistan!

I had also received a Saltire Scholarship award. It is a scholarship award for a Master’s in Digital Media, offered by the Scottish Government in collaboration with Scottish universities. I was one of the 50 scholars from the USA,  Canada, India, Pakistan, China and Japan who received a postgraduate programme scholarship for 2018-19.
