The Pakistan Business Summit (PBS) 2025 is set to bring together some of the country’s most influential leaders, policymakers, and industry experts to deliberate on the future of Pakistan’s economy, investment opportunities, and digital innovation. Among the prominent speakers confirmed for the event is Jahanzeb Khan, President and CEO of Easypaisa, Pakistan’s first incumbent digital retail bank.
The summit, taking place on Thursday, October 2, 2025, at Serena Hotel in Peshawar, is being organized by the Nutshell Group with the Overseas Investors Chamber of Commerce and Industry (OICCI) serving as the strategic partner. Guided by the theme “Shaping What’s Next,” the event is expected to attract over 400 senior delegates, including business leaders, government officials, entrepreneurs, and representatives from global organizations.
Jahanzeb Khan’s participation underscores the growing role of digital banking and financial technology in shaping Pakistan’s future economic trajectory. Under his leadership, Easypaisa has become a central player in advancing financial inclusion, empowering women, and driving digital adoption across underserved communities. His insights at the summit are expected to focus on how fintech innovation can be a transformative force for Pakistan’s economy, creating opportunities for growth while ensuring inclusivity and transparency.
The Pakistan Business Summit will feature a distinguished lineup of speakers covering critical themes such as Pakistan’s evolving investment climate, sustainability in business, digital transformation, and the country’s position within a shifting geopolitical order. For many observers, this year’s summit carries particular importance given the economic and regulatory reforms currently underway, as well as the increasing interest from both local and international investors in Pakistan’s emerging markets.
With a track record of addressing challenges in the financial ecosystem, Jahanzeb Khan is likely to highlight Easypaisa’s journey as a case study in how technology-driven solutions can deliver impact at scale. Easypaisa now serves one in every five Pakistanis and has recorded trillions of rupees in digital transactions annually, making it a pioneer in modernizing financial access in the country. By participating in the summit, Khan will not only represent Easypaisa but also the broader fintech sector, which continues to play an essential role in Pakistan’s economic development.
The PBS 2025 promises to be more than just a platform for discussion. It is positioned as a meeting point for ideas, strategies, and partnerships that can shape Pakistan’s economic and digital future. The inclusion of leaders from both the corporate and policy spheres ensures that the outcomes of the summit could influence decision-making in areas ranging from investment facilitation to sustainability frameworks and digital policy.
As Pakistan navigates through economic challenges and seeks to position itself more strongly in regional and global markets, events like the Pakistan Business Summit provide a crucial platform for dialogue and collaboration. The participation of thought leaders like Jahanzeb Khan reflects the growing recognition that digital transformation is not just a business priority but a national imperative.
