Global business magazine Forbes has included two of Pakistan’s rapidly growing companies in its annual 100 to Watch 2025 list.
The list highlights businesses that are demonstrating innovation and performance in their fields, with the potential to play a major role in the future.
According to Forbes, Pakistani companies Haball and PostEx have secured their place in the Forbes Asia 100 to Watch 2025 list. These firms are recognized for their innovation, strong performance, and emerging influence in their respective sectors.
Forbes Asia primarily showcases achievements, challenges, and trends across the Asian business landscape, serving as an important resource for entrepreneurs and industry leaders. The 100 to Watch list is regarded as a prestigious recognition, featuring small but fast-growing startups and companies across the Asia-Pacific region that are making remarkable progress.
Haball, founded in 2017, offers businesses digital payment solutions and Shariah-compliant financing. It also provides invoice management, tax solutions, and working capital facilities for small and medium-sized enterprises. To date, Haball has processed transactions exceeding USD 3 billion and, in April 2025, secured USD 52 million in investment, with Pakistan’s largest Islamic bank, Meezan Bank, among the key backers.
PostEx, established in 2020, has quickly risen to prominence in the e-commerce delivery sector. Beyond logistics, it ensures immediate payments to merchants against “cash-on-delivery” services. In 2022, PostEx expanded its network by acquiring Call Courier and now operates in over 500 cities. The company has raised USD 7.03 million in funding and is preparing to launch services in the Middle East.
The inclusion of Haball and PostEx in the Forbes Asia 100 to Watch list underscores that Pakistani startups are not only thriving locally but are also establishing a strong footprint in global markets.
