Pakistan made a bold impression at one of the world’s most influential stages—the TIME100 Summit in New York City, featuring major figures like Ryan Reynolds, comedian Nikki Glaser, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, and CEOs from Fortune 100 companies.
Representing Seriously Agile Media, Shabir Mustehsan was joined by Miss Universe Pakistan, Noor Xarmina, as his guest. Together, they brought Pakistani presence and perspective into a room filled with world leaders, cultural icons, and global media powerhouses.
Noor—a venture capitalist and London Business School graduate—redefined what it means to wear the crown. Her forward-looking presence, paired with Shabir’s mission to amplify Pakistani voices in global media, projected a powerful, future-facing image of the country.
“There’s no lack of talent in Pakistan,” Mustehsan said. “But we are underrepresented in major spaces with global exposure across every industry. We came here to change that”
The duo connected with leaders from TIME, Fortune, Forbes, and creators from across the country—engaging in conversations about trends in media, AI, leadership, and how to elevate Pakistani presence at the world’s biggest platforms.
Pakistan is talented, ambitious, and already a key player across industries like tech, media, venture capital, and innovation. It’s time the world recognized it—and this is just the beginning.
