In this episode of Thought Behind Things, we’re joined by Zayaan Bawanay, the Co-Founder & CEO of TicketWala, Pakistan’s largest entertainment marketplace redefining how events, concerts, and live experiences are built.
From selling his own birthday tickets to running a company with 95% market share, Zayaan shares the wild journey of turning a scrappy blog into the country’s fastest-growing entertainment startup.
We uncover:
- How TicketWala became Pakistan’s biggest event platform
- The early days with zero tech knowledge
- Building credibility through small events during COVID
- Managing payments, logistics, and large-scale entry systems
- Why Pakistan can’t yet host global-level concerts
- Why Pakistani artists are more famous in India than Pakistan
- The risk-averse mindset of event stakeholders
