ASPIRE Pakistan will hold a mentoring session for the startups in its Pre-Incubation Program on 21 October 2026 at 10:00 PM Pakistan time, online. The session brings together emerging founders and experienced professionals for practical insight, constructive feedback and strategic direction, and it is meant for startups in health technology and technology. Founders will discuss their challenges, ask questions and gain fresh perspectives on refining their ideas, sharpening their business approach and turning plans into action. The meeting link is available through the session link.
Five mentors will take part. Dr Hassan Mukhtar is a consultant and surgeon in the United Kingdom, and Dr Kajal Hayat is an Assistant Professor at Khyber Medical University. Dr Farrukh Bhatti is the founder of NewVative, Qazi Nauman Mujahid is the founder of Digitech Infra, and Sonia Nawab is the Chief Executive Officer and founder of Counselors Bench. Together, they bring medical, academic and business experience, which suits startups that sit between health and technology and need advice from clinicians as well as founders.
ASPIRE Pakistan is a nonprofit organisation built by a global network of overseas Pakistanis, and it runs programmes for founders at the idea and early stages. Its pre-incubation track is meant to prepare startups to use incubation well once they enter it, by giving them structure, mentorship and access to the wider ecosystem. The organisation says that more than 200 mentors from the diaspora guide founders through its programmes, and sessions like this one are how that mentoring takes place.
The organisation says its aim is to help founders ask better questions, make informed decisions and build the confidence to move forward. The mentors are expected to help each startup see where it is strong and where it needs deeper focus, so that founders leave the session with clearer next steps.
