Sheikh Wajeeha Zamir
Teacher, researcher, and training specialist in karachi, Pakistan
I am an Edupreneur, Training Specialist, and Youth Advocate with a strong passion for transforming education through innovation and entrepreneurship. With a diverse academic background—MBA, M.Ed., and a Master’s in English Literature—I combine business acumen, educational expertise, and creative communication to design impactful learning experiences.
As a Marketing Lecturer and Incubation Center Coordinator at Abasyn University, I mentored and accelerated over 50 student start-ups, fostering entrepreneurial mindsets among young learners. I am also the Founder of EdTech, an initiative that equips students with real-life project-based skills, preparing them for the challenges of the modern world.
My work has been recognized nationally and internationally. At the World Youth Forum, Egypt (2018), I won an award for the Most Innovative Sustainable Development Idea as part of an international marketing team. I was also honored with the Youngest Female Social Activist Award by the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the Innovative Educational Start-up Award at the Students Talent Expo Peshawar (STEP).
Beyond entrepreneurship, I serve on the Inclusion and Engagement Committee of the Commonwealth Youth Council, where I design youth-focused workshops on innovation and the SDGs. As a former Youth Minister at the Provincial Youth Assembly, I led 2,000 volunteers in initiatives addressing women’s rights, child protection, and education for marginalized communities. I have also served as an Ambassador for Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital, leading awareness and fundraising campaigns.
I partner with organizations such as UNDP, USEFP, the British Council, and the Commonwealth Youth Council, delivering training in leadership, digital marketing, personal branding, entrepreneurship development, and start-up coaching. My approach is hands-on and people-centered, empowering learners to break barriers, harness creativity, and create sustainable solutions.
