Karachi: Mr. Atif Ikram Sheikh, President of the Federation of Pakistan Chambers
of Commerce & Industry (FPCCI), has signed a Memorandum of Understanding
(MoU) with JazzWorld Pakistan Limited (JWPL) under which JazzWorld will
offer a 30 percent discount on its digital and enterprise solutions to FPCCI
member trade bodies and their individual members. This significant offer is aimed
at making modern digital solutions more accessible and encouraging businesses
to adopt technology at an affordable cost.

Mr. Atif Ikram Sheikh described the FPCCI–JWPL partnership as a positive and
timely step towards bringing practical digital and enterprise solutions closer to
Pakistan’s diverse business community, with a specific focus on facilitating small
and medium enterprises (SMEs), small traders, and women-led businesses.
He added that such collaborations are essential to enhance competitiveness,
formalization, and operational efficiency across the private sector.

Mian Zahid Hussain, Chairman of the Policy Advisory Board of FPCCI
(PAB-FPCCI), who negotiated the terms and conditions with JazzWorld Pakistan
on behalf of FPCCI, emphasized that Pakistan is passing through a period in
which digital transformation is no longer a choice; it is an economic
necessity. He noted that SMEs are a vital pillar of employment,
entrepreneurship, and commercial activity, yet many businesses continue to face
difficulties in accessing affordable connectivity, digital tools, and contemporary
enterprise services. Mian Zahid Hussain acknowledged JWPL’s leadership in
extending its enterprise solutions to FPCCI’s extensive membership base, which
comprises a nationwide network of 307 trade bodies representing more than
a million business houses across the country.

Mr. Shahzad Rasheed, President Enterprise Solutions, JazzWorld Pakistan
Limited, was warmly welcomed at FPCCI Head Office along with Mr. Naufal
Zamir Sheikh, Head of SME Enterprise Solutions, and Mr. Asim Irshad, Regional
SME Head South. Mr. Shahzad Rasheed appreciated FPCCI’s support and
termed this MoU a highly encouraging and forward-looking development. He
stated that JWPL is very excited to work closely with Pakistan’s business
community, particularly SMEs, to provide them with reliable, secure, and
cost-effective digital and enterprise solutions that can enhance their
productivity and competitiveness in both domestic and international markets.

Mr. Atif Ikram Sheikh, Mian Zahid Hussain, and Mr. Shahzad Rasheed stated that
this partnership of both giants is aligned with the vision of Prime Minister Mian
Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif to transform Pakistan into a digital and paperless
economy, where documentation, business processes, and service delivery are
increasingly conducted through secure digital platforms. They further said by
combining FPCCI’s broad-based representation of the private sector with JWPL’s
technology and connectivity solutions, this collaboration aims to support
formalization, transparency, and efficiency in business operations, thereby
contributing to higher productivity, improved documentation, and a more modern
national economy.
