In a significant achievement, two Pakistani startups, DealCart and NayaPay, have been placed in the prestigious 'Asia 100 to Watch 2024' list presented by Forbes. This announcement is a testament to the growing influence of Pakistan in the global space for startups.
DealCart ensures fast, timely delivery of all household and food necessities to all customers across Karachi via an online grocery platform.
It also empowers small groceries with the power to reach a bigger customer base. With successful funding rounds totalling $4.5 million in pre-seed funding and an extra $3 million for seed funding, this puts DealCart on course for high growth.

NayaPay is a fintech startup that operates a payments processing platform meant for the digitalisation of transaction services offered to consumers and businesses.
Its e-wallet and solutions for virtual debit and online payments address the value proposition of being a game-changer in this business.
Moreover, with a significant $13 million seed funding round in 2022, NayaPay is revolutionising the way businesses and consumers transact.
These startups are going to continue making big inroads into their respective fields, which is going to open more and more ways for other Pakistani entrepreneurs on a world-scale level.
The recognition of DealCart and NayaPay on the Forbes 'Asia 100 to Watch 2024' list follows a series of recognitions for Pakistanis on Forbes lists, including seven individuals on the 30 Under 30 list for Asia earlier this year.
