Emphasizing upon the significance of women development in Pakistani society, the CEO of foundation Ms. Tooba Saad Khan stated, “Being a mother of a toddler I always wished to start something of my own after my baby. The strenuous work routine and time constraints led me to conceptualize the idea of a co working space where mothers and women like me could work stress free and have no barriers to entry.”
Talking on the occasion at the opening ceremony, the Chief Business Officer of Jazz, Mr. Ali Naseer said “Jazz has partnered with Workshack to provide Garaj Services for the female-led startups involved in the co-working space.
