For the last 3-months startups incubated across all Durshals have been busy working on their business ideas, fine-tuning their growth strategies and acquiring new skills. Durshal team from the very start has kept a keen eye on the growth of all its startups and we believe their ideas are ready to be presented to the real world. But we are aware that the success of a startup is not only dependent on the idea but also on how you sell and present it. But where and how do you learn this art?

We at Durshal believe that an individual who has successfully traversed through this rite of passage will be in the best position to impart these lessons. We present to you the speaker of our mentoring session: Ibrar Khan – Vice President Corporate Affairs and Ex-CEO Switch Communications.

KPITB wishes the entire nation a Very Happy Iqbal Day!

May we all learn and get inspired from the poetry of Iqbal and move towards prosperity and success.
