Following Google, US tech firm Mobiz opens regional office in Karachi

Business Recorder reported that US-based technology firm Mobiz has set up a regional office in Karachi, inside the National Aerospace Science and Technology Park (NASTP). The company, whose headquarters are in Houston, works across several countries in areas such as AI, cybersecurity and cloud solutions. The move follows Google's recent opening of its first local office in Pakistan, which the Prime Minister welcomed.

SECP Chairman Kabir Ahmed Sidhu welcomed the decision and said the growth of global technology firms in Pakistan signals faith in local IT skills. He said young Pakistanis could take a leading part in the international IT market, and that such investment would create jobs and new chances for young people to work on a global scale. Sidhu also said the SECP is pursuing transparency, digitalisation and regulatory reforms to make business easier, and that modern technology could lower costs and shorten procedures.

Exports of IT and IT-enabled services hit a record $4.6 billion in FY2025-26, rising 20.6% from $3.8 billion a year earlier. The SECP chairman congratulated Mobiz on opening its Karachi office and voiced hope that the firm would widen its activities in Pakistan.
