Our Story

After completing our PhDs and joining academia, we were passionate to do something big. However, as the time went by, the slackness of procedures and inefficient work culture started to frustrate us. From the long delays in equipment procurement to the sloppy mechanism of seeking all approvals via a paper-based file system, it was pretty frustrating. Moreover, publishing research papers for the sake of publishing and getting numbers for promotion seemed futile in real sense. However, there were some amazing things too – openness, flexibility, friendly environment and great engineering projects. A developing country like Pakistan is strewn with problems, many of which can be addressed using technology. Rather than doing blue sky research, our circumstances require an innovation-based approach, where existing knowledge is used to create viable solutions for generating social impact, jobs and revenue. We were fascinated by the enormous potential of internet of things – sensors throwing information to a cloud-based platform and computing useful output while employing Artificial Intelligence. It is hard to imagine an application area or a setting where this cannot be applied. Fusing our frustration with passion, we founded New Vative Technologies in June 2018 and within a short span, started working with clients both in government and private sector. We are realizing our entrepreneurial dream which is challenging and immensely satisfying.
