About Mazhar Hayat

Educator.
Builder.
Catalyst.

With over 17 years bridging academia, entrepreneurship, and youth development across Pakistan, I believe every young person carries the seed of a great idea — they simply need the right environment, the right mentor, and the right moment of belief.

From teaching Marketing and Entrepreneurship at Punjab College of Commerce to founding Unity Ventures and organizing Pakistan's most energizing startup summits, my life's work has been creating spaces where potential becomes reality.

Recognized at TEDx stages, Google Startups, and StartupGrind International — and honored with a Presidential acknowledgment in 2019 — I continue to serve Pakistan's entrepreneurial ecosystem with purpose and passion.
