NIC Karachi, in collaboration with Product Soch, recently hosted Product Sprint 2.0: From Problem Clarity to MVP Blueprint, a practical and focused session aimed at helping founders move from ideas to execution with precision and speed. The session was designed to provide early-stage entrepreneurs with frameworks and tools to identify the right problems, validate assumptions, and translate insights into actionable MVPs, offering guidance that goes beyond theoretical learning.
Led by Ali Khan, Product Head at PURESQUARE, the session emphasized structured product thinking, enabling participants to reduce guesswork, avoid costly errors, and design solutions with stronger market fit. Ali Khan guided founders through exercises that helped them map problems, validate customer needs, and structure their ideas into tangible MVP blueprints, ensuring that solutions are both feasible and aligned with market demands.
Through real-world examples and hands-on exercises, participants learned how to approach product development systematically. The session focused on translating abstract ideas into concrete action plans, helping founders understand what to build, why to build it, and how to test assumptions early in the product lifecycle. This approach equips early-stage startups with clarity and confidence, improving their chances of creating impactful products that resonate with users.
Product Sprint 2.0 reflects NIC Karachi’s commitment to supporting early-stage founders with structured programs, mentorship, and skill-building workshops.
