CXO Connect 2026, an event organised by Startup Grind Lahore in partnership with TF Business Solutions, StartUPulse, and CO For Good, is taking place on the fifteenth of August, running from ten in the morning until five in the evening, bringing together senior executives and business leaders in Lahore. Among the confirmed speakers is Fasieh Mehta, who serves as Industry Head for Mobile Apps and Gaming at Google, with organisers describing his presence as an opportunity to hear from someone shaping strategy across some of the most influential digital products in the world.
Mehta’s role at Google places him at the centre of the company’s engagement with the mobile applications and gaming sector, an area organisers noted is actively reshaping how businesses build and lead in the digital economy. His work has spanned digital growth, ecosystem building, and esports innovation, with his career path taking him through Epic Games before he moved into driving Pakistan’s esports agenda more broadly, a trajectory that has positioned him at the intersection of commerce, culture, and community within the technology and gaming industries.
Organisers framed Mehta’s participation as particularly relevant given his dual perspective, someone rooted in the region while operating at a global scale within one of the world’s largest technology companies. According to the event description, Mehta brings an understanding of what it takes to build world class products specifically within emerging markets, along with the experience of scaling those products to reach audiences numbering in the billions, a combination organisers positioned as valuable for the CXO level attendees expected at the event.
CXO Connect has continued as a recurring fixture on Lahore’s business calendar, with previous editions also organised through collaboration between StartUPulse and Startup Grind Lahore, targeting senior executives across different sectors rather than the founder focused programming more commonly associated with other startup events in the city. The event’s positioning around mobile, gaming, and digital leadership themes this year reflects the growing prominence of these sectors within conversations about Pakistan’s broader technology and business landscape.
Startup Grind Lahore, part of the global Startup Grind network spanning more than one hundred and twenty countries, has continued to host events aimed at connecting entrepreneurs, executives, and industry leaders across Pakistan’s business community. Mehta’s appearance at CXO Connect 2026 adds to a pattern of direct engagement between global technology leadership and Pakistan’s local business ecosystem, with his session expected to offer attendees insight into how digital products built with an understanding of emerging markets can scale into globally significant platforms.
