Two students from National University of Sciences and Technology, Syed Muhammad Bilal Khalid and Fahad Islam Tiwana, once again proved their mettle and brought laurels to Pakistan at the Second Global Entrepreneurship Challenge, Istanbul. They received international acclaim by coming in the top three teams presenting innovative and business ideas, among 25 competing teams from across the world.
They were also the proud winners of the previously held grand challenges; "Discover: Nust Business Plan Competition" and "Lean Start-up Machine Conference" in Pakistan. "We feel humbled and honoured at bringing glory to Pakistan and Nust at this international platform" said the youngsters from Nust Institute of Civil Engineering.
