Our Mission
To redefine what it means to be Azaad in Pakistan — by giving young people the skills, community, and support they need to build their own futures. No connections, no gatekeepers, no fluff.
We believe every Pakistani deserves access to the knowledge and mentorship that can change their life — regardless of where they’re from, what they studied, or what their resume looks like.
Turning untold stories into timeless works that make a difference.

Why We Started It
- Degrees without direction
- Jobs without opportunity
- Dreams that feel too far away
We saw a generation that wasn’t lazy — they were locked out. Locked out of the right knowledge, the right circles, the right chances.
The Azaadi Project is our answer. It’s not a course. It’s not a lecture. It’s a movement. A place where Pakistani youth come to learn, grow, and get Azaad — together.
Our Vision
1 million members learning and growing together
Thousands of bootcamp graduates and micro-entrepreneurs
Community-led chapters in every major city
A culture of real skills, shared success, and purpose-driven work
Meet the Team
The Azaadi Project was founded by individuals driven by a shared mission: to create real change in Pakistan.
Led by Pakistani-Canadian serial entrepreneur Umer Farooque, The Azaadi Project is redefining what freedom means for the youth of Pakistan — empowering them to build, lead, and live life on their own terms.
