Taking to twitter, PM said that Pakistan has huge potential as the country was open for business.
“We welcome the recent investment of 85 million USD by leading VCs of the world in Airlift, a company led by young Pakistanis.”
He expressed the government’s commitment to create opportunities for foreign investors.

Airlift, a Lahore-based online shopping delivery service, has raised $85 million in Series B financing, the largest single private funding round in Pakistan’s history.
