How it unfolded
Pakistan
CEPI Pakistan | Lahore | Founding & growth
The spark
COVID hit. We started building.
My account | Co-founder
COVID shut things down. Two friends and I saw a grim opening to contribute to Pakistan's education industry. We built an EdTech startup, grew it to two locations, reached PKR 100M in annual recurring revenue in two years, and taught more than 2,000 students.
Founding story and growth figures are my own account. The photos show CEPI campus and teaching life.

Post-COVID outreach | Campus launch | Community events
Going to the students
I took CEPI to the streets.
My account | Co-founder | Outreach & community
We ran roadshows, events and activations to grow CEPI's student community past 2,000. I handed out campus-launch flyers, staffed in-person registration, and celebrated with students on Independence Day.

Confirmed teaching role | Subject specialist

A digital start, with a physical presence in Lahore
Exhibitions & presence
I showed up in person: exhibitions and campus launches.
My account | Co-founder | Two-location growth
We scaled CEPI from an EdTech startup to two locations. Campus launches and a visible presence in Lahore backed our programme of exhibitions and outreach.
The exhibitions are my own account. Photos show campus exteriors, the office and our Canal Road launch artwork.
