History

The annals of the Pakistani IT industry are marked by a significant event that led to a reevaluation of its trajectory. The aftermath of the dot com bubble burst in the early 2000s cast a shadow over the industry, causing a noticeable decline in its fortunes. Many IT service providers, once vibrant and thriving, found themselves at a crossroads, with some being forced to shutter their operations, while others clung to survival mode, yearning for progress.

Amid this challenging landscape, a group of seasoned and visionary information technology professionals came together in 2002. United by a shared concern for the flagging state of the Pakistani IT industry, they embarked on earnest discussions to unravel a way forward. These deliberations were not just conversations; they were seeds of transformation, sown with the hope of revitalizing the industry’s essence.

The culmination of their collective vision and determination materialized in April 2003, giving birth to what we now proudly know as Ponder Alliance. Conceived as a response to the pressing issues plaguing the IT industry, Ponder Alliance emerged as a beacon of light, illuminating a path to rejuvenation.
