Gulaal an exhibition by Novaira Fahad and friends

Glimpses of the event

Young people with unique ideas tend to
succeed in the world of entrepreneurship. As it requires invention and reinvention, fresh ideas to market old products, constant struggle and effort, which is not easy for faint of the heart. It is the task of committed, completely dedicated people. and our Novaira Fahad is one such soul.

Quite an achiever, Novaira has an impressive profile. A graduate of engineering from FAST, who had dreams to work in her home city Karachi, but immediately after completing her education was married to Mr. Fahad Khawaja of Multan; therefore had to relocate here. Unfortunately, this new city still did not have much to offer in terms of jobs. Being the daughter of an esteemed, tycoon of a businessman, she had entrepreneurship running in her blood. With the support and encouragement of her husband and family, she started her business 'Novaira's collection'. Initially, she designed purses and clutches, which were a huge success, due to stylish designing and reasonable pricing.

Then she joined WCCIM, women's chamber of commerce and industry Multan. There was no looking back after it. Being educated, young, energetic and passionate about business and chamber activities. She immediately emerged as a prominent figure. She became an executive member first and then president of WCCIM. Alongwith all the achievements outside, she successfully handled having her babies and also took care of her household.

She became president of WCCM during tough Corona times. When activities around the world, alongwith women's chamber Multan had come to a halt. She implemented ideas like creating a buy and sell WhatsApp group for all the members of WCCM, which helped them provide business and work from home. It turned out to be a great source of women empowerment at the time of adversity. She had even planned the grandest event for WCCM ever, inviting all the presidents of all women's chambers of Pakistan and South Asia. Unfortunately the plan fell to Corona restrictions.

Novaira worked so hard and was so dedicated that even the patroness in chief of WCCM had said, ''if it was not the rule/ law to elect a president of our chamber and only my will prevailed, then would have wished to continue as president forever'.

It was just a sneakpeak into the splendid life of Novaira Fahad. She has much more to her credit that any blogpost can hold.

The latest feather in her cap is 'Gulaal', a resplendent exhibition that she recently organised with few of her friends. On 5th November, Saira Atif , Riffat Faisal and Novaira Fahad , together as NSR group exhibited clutches, jewellery, shawls, winter and wedding collection. They were also joined by an emerging, young entrepreneur Atiya Shahreen Bokhari with her product ASB platters . She offered free tasting of her delicious grazing platters. Display of her amazingly decorated tables enhanced the beauty of the event and her generosity was admired immensely.

There were two guests of honor for the event, Mrs. Erum Iqbal and the sweetest lady of Multan Mrs. Beena Younus, who is a great source of support and encouragement for the female entrepreneurs of city of saints. Being the senior, she was requested to perform the ribbon cutting ceremony. Both the guests of honor were presented bouquets and taken for the round of exhibition. Where they admired the efforts of those taking part in the exhibition. The turnover was great, as the venue 'Sindbad hotel Multan' was easy to access and well known to everyone.

We congratulate NSR group for holding such an impressive and successful exhibition. It was a wonderful display of 'empowered women, empower other women'. Together you made it big. We wish you all the best for your future efforts. May you succeed and thrive everywhere you go.
