Adnan Shaffi, Co-Founder and CEO of PriceOye.pk, has been introduced as the distinguished speaker for an upcoming seminar titled Dream, Build, Scale: The Journey of a Pakistani Tech Entrepreneur. The seminar promises to walk attendees through the practical realities of building and scaling a technology venture within Pakistan’s specific market conditions, drawing on Shaffi’s own experience running PriceOye, one of Pakistan’s more established e-commerce and price comparison platforms, to offer a grounded account of what that journey has actually involved rather than a purely motivational retelling of startup success.
Given PriceOye’s position within Pakistan’s e-commerce landscape, Shaffi’s perspective is likely to touch on the operational and market-specific challenges of building a consumer-facing technology platform in Pakistan, an environment that differs considerably from more mature e-commerce markets in terms of payment infrastructure, logistics, and consumer trust in online transactions. His account of moving from an initial idea through to running an established platform could offer attendees useful insight into how founders navigate these kinds of structural market constraints while still achieving meaningful scale.
The seminar is scheduled for August 5, 2026, at 4 in the afternoon Pakistan Standard Time, with the venue located in Karachi. Registration for the event closes on August 3, 2026, giving interested attendees a defined window to secure their spot ahead of the deadline. Members are being asked to check their emails for the registration link, suggesting the event is organised through a membership-based body or professional network rather than an entirely open public registration process.
The seminar reflects a continuing pattern of established Pakistani tech founders being invited to share their entrepreneurial journeys with broader professional and business audiences, offering a platform for figures like Shaffi to pass on practical lessons from building a technology company in Pakistan to those earlier in their own entrepreneurial or professional trajectories. Asif Ali Qureshi, CFA, appears associated with organising or hosting the session, reflecting the kind of professional network involvement often behind seminars of this nature within Pakistan’s business and finance community.
