NIBAF Pakistan is set to conduct a two-day executive workshop focused on data analytics and artificial intelligence for professionals at its Karachi Campus on October 8 and 9, 2026. The programme is designed to provide participants with exposure to data analytics and AI tools as organisations increasingly rely on technology for data-driven analysis, reporting and business decision-making.
The workshop, titled “Data Analytics and AI for Professionals,” will take place from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM on both days at NIBAF Pakistan’s Karachi Campus. The training investment has been set at PKR 36,000 plus applicable tax per participant. NIBAF has invited professionals and organisations to nominate participants for the programme, with October 7, 2026, set as the final date for nominations.
The two-day executive programme will be facilitated by Irfan Bakaly, a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) and technology trainer. Bakaly received Pakistan’s first Microsoft MVP award in the Excel category and has more than 20 years of experience in technology training across leading institutions. His professional work has focused on technology education and helping professionals develop practical skills in areas connected with data and digital tools.
Bakaly is also known as a corporate educator and YouTuber under the name “Irfan Wazir Ali.” According to the information shared by NIBAF, he has produced more than 525 technical video tutorials covering advanced analytics, Excel and artificial intelligence tools. His background in technology training and analytics is expected to form a central part of the workshop’s practical learning approach.
Data analytics has become an increasingly important capability for professionals who work with large volumes of business information and need to convert data into useful insights. The addition of artificial intelligence to analytics workflows is also creating new opportunities for professionals to automate tasks, analyse information and work with technology-enabled tools. Training programmes covering these areas can help professionals understand how such technologies can be incorporated into their existing work.
The workshop is particularly relevant for professionals seeking to strengthen their technical capabilities and gain greater familiarity with analytics and AI applications. By combining data analytics with artificial intelligence, the programme addresses two technology areas that are increasingly connected with modern business operations and professional decision-making.
