Tabish Hassan
CEO
“These mountains have been talked about for generations, but nobody ever went up and proved what was inside them. We did. Now that the Government of Gilgit Baltistan and Pakistan have opened this sector properly, our work is to turn what we found into something that leaves this whole region better off.”
