With 64% of Pakistan’s population under 30, the future of this country belongs to the youth—and nowhere is this more urgent than in Karachi.
From student protests to startup culture, Gen Z in Karachi is politically aware but institutionally disconnected. They want change, but don’t know where to start.
Digital leaders like Nadir Qureshi are building bridges—between the voter and the voice, between passion and policy. Through platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and WhatsApp, youth can now question, participate, and lead.
What do Karachi’s youth really want?
Real solutions for education, employment & transport
Leaders they can relate to—not just revere
Transparency in governance, not theatrics
Platforms to express, not suppress
If we want a better Karachi, we must empower those who are already ready to lead it.
