Azhar Rizvi:
Anwar is a true entrepreneur who makes quick decisions, takes risks and changes plans as and when required. Evamp & Saanga’s rise is a great example of growth through mergers and alliances. Together, we worked on broadening their vision, enhancing their product lines and securing a more international focus. Their perspective and marketability were areas that demanded attention. With emphasis on proper team building, they benefited from taking their products and services to new markets, while acquiring new skills to serve their initial market segments.
Anwar Khan’s Story
When Anwar Khan returned to Pakistan to work from the UK, he had no idea that he would become one of the founders of a leading web, mobile and telecom solutions developer, serving major blue chip clients in over a dozen countries. What started as a quest to find the ideal employment, ended with Anwar setting up his own venture called Evamp in Islamabad. He later merged his profitable business with another company to acquire their mobile development expertise, becoming Evamp & Saanga in the process.
Launched with a team of just five employees, by 2016 Evamp & Saanga has grown into a 120+-member squad specializing in web, mobile and telecom applications, with a presence in Pakistan and commitments in six countries in the Middle East and East Africa. In just 15 years, the initial investment of PKR400,000 has multiplied, and today the company’s top-line revenue is over a couple of million US dollars.
Evamp & Saanga has become a force to reckon with. Through strategic partnerships, mergers with other companies, the firm has an edge over their competitors by offering a one-stop shop. Today they are developing mission-critical systems for some of the largest telecom applications. With meticulous planning, Evamp & Saanga has been able to grow in Pakistan a market typically seen as difficult and challenging, but one that holds unlimited potential for those who stand their ground.
