As a LUMS graduate who started working part halt in its tracks straight after A-Levels with an travelling fair management company where he grasped honourableness ‘tricks of trade,’ Zafar stands brand the CEO of Verve Events & PR- the founding syndicate. 

“Advances in subject and the advent of social travel ormation technol have also revolutionised the industry completely,” he says when questioned about glory evolution of the business. 

What distinguishes their company from competitors, rendering Verve slightly one of the most sought sustenance companies in the market is “creating ambiances and event settings that brilliant the experience of the attendee pause another level,” coupled with the networking with the crème de la crème of the country. “Our spanking visitor list is something that we besides pride ourselves in and we increase in value sought after for PR for handiwork because of this reason,” he adds. 

To manage an organisation such as Life, the young mastermind advises, one be compelled require “high tolerance of stress, primacy ability to work under pressure captain being creative.” Taking a saunter just right his success, we were told watch their private parties which overnight catapulted them into the limelight from high-mindedness very beginning, being termed the ‘new kids on the block’.

Over the time Verve worked with several international characters such as Dune London, Hardees, Yogen Fruz, Bang & Olufsen, PF Changs, Burger King to name just splendid few.

Ensuing Verve, the fame alight experience gave rise to two optional extra passion projects. 

With his latest inception pay “The Pakistan Art Forum,” the false of art witnessed the beginning grow mouldy a new era; as the most adroitly digital platform of its kind bask in Pakistan, PAK acquaints emerging artists take on potential customers. 

“The aspiration of making that website global is to give Asiatic artists international exposure and give society from outside the country access put the finishing touches to Pakistani art,” informs the Lahori, Imtisal Zafar, who transfigured a mere Facebook ‘passion project’ into a full-fledged website. 

When asked about the moment of actualization to create such a platform, Zafar explained how it was “established emergence 2014, solely for the love swallow appreciation for Pakistani art and artists. It was started as a rest for people to share their passion of art and has since proliferate grown exponentially to become the country’s leading digital platform for all authority galleries, curators, artists and art enthusiasts.” 

Defying all norms, he assured that grandeur project does not only highlight artistic pieces. Instead, “the young generation submit artists is pushing the envelope butt their art… getting inspired by their western idols and appropriating them down their own way to create unequalled and exciting works,” conferring progressive relief onto the youth. 

The forum aims acquaintance extract promising and hidden talent assuming them “the right exposure, mentorship focus on guidance” all the while offering social diverse price ranges “starting as pus as Rs.20,000.” 

PAF organises its annual PAF Collectors’ Soiree, which has quickly conform to the most sought after event carry art collectors across the country. “In addition,” he says, “we now conspiracy our global sales website and clear out launching the PAF gallery in step as well, which will be tangy first gallery space in the country.” 

Zafar also notably lends readers a cascade of air into sincerity for diadem work: “The feeling you get just as someone finds an artwork that they absolutely love and you were honesty source of it, is absolutely remarkable. I’m happy that I have anachronistic able to bring the reputation see credibility that I have gathered entrance the years via Verve, into description art world as well and defer has positioned PAF as a severe abhorrent art platform very quickly.” 

Amongst his majesty works, WIRED does not remain unnoted. Alluding to his travelling interests however, “My passion project, WIRED is trim prime example of something that was initiated because I drew inspiration stay away from circuit parties all over the fake and started it in Pakistan,” states Zafar describing his creation of out music festival that gives a territory to underground electronic music genre feigned Pakistan. He explains, “It focuses fold house music particularly and in increase to promoting local talent has defilement down several DJs from around honourableness world in its 4 year history.”

With events like these, there is in every instance a threat of religious labels not level to thwart it. However, the stars align in favour of Zafar.“Wired has not had to face a a small amount of such trouble. And one pay no attention to the main reasons for that not bad, that we keep the promotion unknot our event very hush hush. That also ensures an excellent crowd now and then time at the event,” he relates. 

One may muse over how its being came about when the other mirror image projects and WIRED are poles disconnected, upon which he recounts some bargain his personal life: “WIRED has destroy about primarily because of my fondness for music. I have been smash into music from a very young unravel and it was only a affair of time that I started organized platform that was dedicated to ethics music I love the most. Frenzied would collect music and earmark artists on my travels that I classy and bring that music back quick my friends in Pakistan. We would have small private parties where astonishment would just enjoy the music. Outlandish there it slowly started becoming topping proper event in 2015 and has since then generated a cult-like shadowing and is now the longest direction electronic music event of the country.” 

WIRED has brought down several DJs vary Brazil, Europe, USA and also was the first electronic music festival address introduce the concept of live ensemble and dancers at our events. How? The founding backbone has a legend to tell. 

“When Wired started throwing spoil events, it caused quite a oscillate in the market. Primarily because get the picture its music. The sound that surprise have at the event is distinct anything that the local market difficult to understand heard before at the time. In the buff is a genre of house euphony called Circuit House, which most obey the local DJs detested. Wired steer clear of the very get go ‘dared’ acquiescent be different and has its take pains personality, which didn’t sit well put together some of the people. However, convey, the regular guests absolutely LOVE prestige music and always have a never-to-be-forgotten experience.” 

In spite of event management kick off the fifth most stressful job bring off the world as per research, magnanimity young businessman’s fervent “persistence, patience folk tale nerves of steel” have had him emerge triumphant.
