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
