The purpose, objectives, mission, and/or mandate of the organization is to empower Pakistani youth through entrepreneurship, innovation, and community building. The chapter is under the global OPEN (Organization of Pakistani Entrepreneurs) network, which connects over 5,000 Pakistani professionals across 15+ major cities, including Silicon Valley, New York, London, Lahore, Karachi, and Toronto. The mission is to create an inclusive platform where students of Pakistani descent can explore career pathways, develop practical skills, and connect with like-minded peers and professionals. The aim is to bridge the gap between academic learning and real-world impact by fostering a culture of curiosity, initiative, and growth. The vision is a campus community where entrepreneurial thinking is celebrated and students are equipped with the tools needed to pursue bold ideas.
This will be achieved through:
● Workshops on entrepreneurship, personal branding, and innovation
● Hosting interactive workshops and speaker panels with Pakistani professionals, founders, and industry leaders from diverse industries
● Offering access to a mentorship pipeline and internship opportunities through the broader OPEN network
● Facilitating networking events and socials to help students build authentic relationships
● Using digital content and student-led campaigns to spotlight youth talent and share career advice
The outcome is more than just a campus club — it’s a launchpad. Students walk away with real-world experience, industry exposure, and a lifelong community of mentors and peers dedicated to helping one another grow.
