How Does it Work is ProPakistani’s flagship interview podcast that explains how ideas, businesses, technologies, and public figures actually work in Pakistan. Each episode features a focused, plain-spoken conversation with a founder, executive, policymaker, athlete, or creator, so listeners get practical lessons and clear takeaways rather than buzzwords. The show is hosted by ProPakistani CEO, Shayan Mahmud, an entrepreneur and Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree.
The podcast explores startups and venture capital, telecom and fintech, artificial intelligence, media, sports, and culture. Recent conversations span Pakistan’s AI ambitions, the realities of EV adoption, and the inside stories behind leading local platforms. Guests have included PakWheels cofounder Suneel Munj, cricketers Wasim Akram and Shoaib Akhtar, Zong 4G executives, investor Faisal Aftab, and former Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, among many others.
New episodes publish twice a week, making it easy for listeners to follow the country’s most relevant conversations in real time.
