Yasir Shirazi: The Immigrant Entrepreneur Creating Global Impact

Immigrants bring a distinctive cross-cultural experience to the table. It is due to our exposure to unique situations that we can identify innovative solutions and create immense value globally.

After the one hour conversation with Yasir, we felt understood. For the first time, we spoke with someone who had been through a similar journey. He left his country and built a successful platform that he transformed into a sustainable business. This is our dream, and we will make sure to follow every single one of his pieces of advice.

Yasir is currently the founder and CEO of Instakin. Before that, he worked for Total in Pakistan, Siemens in the U.S. and Germany before launching successful digital ventures: Parhlo and SocialCxN. The cherry on the cake, he’s an alumnus of Babson College and Harvard University.

Yasir is also an avid traveler, who wants to constantly learn more about the world that surrounds him. He’s traveled to 38 countries so far, how many have you visited?

But that is only one part of the story.

At Venture Insider, we strive to undress the ups-and-down, the late nights, the early mornings, the failures and the victories.
