In the next episode, we’re joined by Muhammad Saad (BS 2015), the Co-Founder & CPO of BridgeLinx Technologies, a venture-backed, tech-enabled logistics platform, marketplace, and solutions provider. BridgeLinx deploys technology to bring efficiency, scale, and innovation to Pakistan’s fragmented and inefficient logistics services markets in Pakistan, the MENAP region, and beyond. Saad has previously managed his first start-up Treble, right after graduation in 2015.
About the Company
To date, BridgeLinx has raised USD 10 million in the largest seed round in Pakistan and is now the largest logistics platform in the country. In a little over a year, BridgeLinx has scaled to tens of thousands of weekly loads. They connect tens of thousands of carriers to Pakistan’s largest shippers – concerns ranging from heavy industries (textile, cement, fertiliser, agro-businesses, chemicals, and many more) to e-Commerce / B2B marketplaces, including more than two-thirds of Pakistan’s top 100 exporters.
Join the chat with Saad as he shares his story of creating BridgeLinx, Pakistan’s leading freight marketplace, learning from failures along the way, and what success means to him today.
