Aatif Awan is a former LinkedIn VP who led the product growth team that added roughly 500 million members to the network, then returned to Pakistan to invest through Indus Valley Capital, positioning himself as one of the rare investors willing to lead early-stage rounds when most local investors prefer to follow. He actively evangelizes Pakistan as the largest market still untapped by technology startups on global platforms and celebrates Pakistani-origin unicorn founders worldwide as part of his investment thesis around returning diaspora talent.
