The Foundation of Daastan<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In the summer of 2015<\/strong>, Ommer Amer<\/a>, a then-budding writer from Wah was searching for a publisher for his first novel, The Forbidden Story<\/a><\/em>. However, at that time, quality Pakistani publishers were almost non-existent. Disappointed by the lack of a proper platform to launch and market his book, Ommer decided to do something about the matter<\/em>. With the help of 2 friends, Hafsa Idrees<\/a> and Tahniat Saba<\/a>, Ommer Amer founded Daastan<\/a>\u2014a self-publishing platform that would give access to all Pakistani writers to get their written word out into the world. And thus, we began our \u201cdaastan\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Team Daastan<\/a> has a dream\u2014to help writers monetize their work<\/em>, earn from their talent <\/em>and grow Pakistan\u2019s literary space<\/em>. At a time where a large number of people, especially the youth, is tech oriented, the best way to thrive was through the internet. Ommer and his team turned to Plan9<\/a> and the startup was incubated in one of its 2015 batches. After a six-month incubation period, it took off and soared to greater heights. We went through a roller coaster of experiences\u2014some good, some bad and some absolutely mind-blowing! (Like when we bagged the 2nd prize on an international platform<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About Plan9 <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Operating under Punjab Information Technology Board<\/a> (PITB), Plan9 is Pakistan\u2019s first tech startup incubator<\/em> that started in September 2012<\/strong>. A business incubator works as a catalyst <\/em>between dedicated and enthusiastic groups with unique ideas and help them to start their businesses. It provides funds from interested investors and services including office space and training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plan9 is one of its kind; providing its selected candidates (picked twice every year from a pool of 15 groups<\/strong>) with training from its experienced board<\/em>, working space with computers<\/em>, internet access<\/em>, and even electricity <\/em>so that Pakistan\u2019s power shortage does not become a hurdle for budding startups. It has launched 130+ tech startups<\/strong> in Pakistan, with a vision of each business making a mark on international levels. The startups by Plan9 are gross valued at $70 million <\/strong>and they have raised a gross investment of $2.5 million <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

PITB\u2019s tech incubator is led by founder, Dr. Umar Saif who\nis also Chairman, PITB alongside Nabeel A. Qadeer, Director Entrepreneurship\nand Enterprise Development, PITB. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daastan upon its Graduation from Plan9<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Since it\u2019s incubation, Daastan <\/a>has surpassed the expectations of many. Shortly after its graduation from Plan9, Daastan arranged a massive caused based letter writing campaign<\/em>. Students from different schools and UET Taxila wrote letters to the Army. At the Brand Launch of Daastan<\/a> in Arfa Technology Park<\/a> Mughees Anwar<\/em> and Rutaba Yaqub<\/em> spoke as guest speakers.  By the end of 2015<\/strong>, we had organized a number of important literary events such as the Daastan Literary Fest<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2016 <\/strong>was a roller coaster year for Daastan<\/a>! Filled with endless work despite night and day, we organized out first ever big scale competition, The Stories Untold Season 1<\/a>. Luckily, we received an overwhelming response. Soon, Daastan launched Qissa<\/a>\u2014Pakistan\u2019s first self-publishing digital platform<\/em>, enabling writers from all over the world to publish their books with a few clicks! Qissa garnered appreciation from writers and businesses alike and revolutionized self-publishing as we know it. But that\u2019s not all! Team Daastan kept breaking through barriers by launching its very own <\/em>Literary Fellowship<\/em><\/a> which would bring together literary activists from all over Pakistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, Daastan<\/a> is the biggest self-publishing house in Pakistan<\/em>. We are working towards the betterment of the country by increasing readership and bringing the works of previously unpublished authors to light. We have helped writers monetize their work, turned passions into careers. Our team has held worldwide competitions, launched businesses, made a space in the media and much more. From one person\u2019s dream, we have transformed into an army of readers and writers<\/em>with an unshakable will to rejuvenate literature in Pakistan.     <\/p>\n\n\n\n
