About Pakistani Professional Diaspora

Learn about our mission, vision, and the journey of connecting Pakistani professionals worldwide to create meaningful impact.

Our Story

DAPP provides overseas Pakistanis a platform dedicated to overcoming the socio-economic challenges of living and doing business in Pakistan. We aim to connect the Pakistani Diaspora living around the world and work as a team to bring a positive change to the local business community. It’s our purpose to form a strong community of forward-thinking leaders who collaborate, network, and contribute to enabling the local business to compete and adopt the best international practices globally.

We believe that forming partnerships and connections will bridge the gap between local and expatriate communities and unite us to work together as professionals to pave the road to success. It will help our fellow diaspora who’ve moved back to Pakistan or are in the process of moving, connect with a trusted community of professionals to guide them in various personal and professional initiatives.

We welcome the global Pakistani Diaspora Community to collaborate and work to integrate dynamic business practices to harness global digitization and growth. It will enable us to bring about transformational change in the way we do business in Pakistan and enter into a new era of international and professional business relationships.
