This is not the first time that Pakistanis have garnered praises in the Information Technology (IT) field.
Back in March, 15-year-old Pakistani app developer Nabeel Haider came up with a solution: an alternative instant messaging app that he claims works even better.
Haider hails from Karachi and has a keen interest in app development.
Federal Minister for Information Technology and Telecommunication Syed Amin-ul-Haque, who met and praised the teenager for his dedication, has offered him a chance to refine the app under expert supervision.
