Saad Siddiqui, a 22-year-old entrepreneur from Pakistan, won the BRICS and SCO Social Entrepreneur of the Year 2025 award in Russia, marking a significant milestone for his country. The Academy of Youth Diplomacy and the Ministry of Youth Affairs oversaw the special awards, which honored outstanding work in five different categories. Saad was named the "Top Entrepreneur."

Saad, the founder and CEO of Edversity, distinguished himself as a representative of Pakistan internationally. He characterized Edversity as the premier ed-tech platform in Pakistan, committed to addressing unemployment in emerging markets and closing the skills gap in technology.

"Our goal is to enable people to prosper in the global digital economy by offering accessible and reasonably priced education in cutting-edge fields like Web3, Blockchain, and Artificial Intelligence (AI)," stated Saad.

"My vision is to make technology education accessible to everyone, particularly in underserved areas of Pakistan," he continued. The fact that Pakistan won this prize shows how innovative and entrepreneurial the country can be.

Edversity has grown to be Pakistan's biggest learning platform under Saad's direction, benefiting thousands of students by providing top-notch computer education at a significantly lower cost.

In addition to highlighting Saad's exceptional accomplishments, the BRICS and SCO award also emphasizes Pakistan's growing significance in the global tech and education industries. Aspiring business owners might find encouragement in this accolade, which also demonstrates the inventiveness of Pakistan's young people.
