Islamabad – August 7, 2025:
In a proud moment for Pakistan’s growing tech and creative industries, Fasieh Mehta has been appointed by Google as the Industry Head for Mobile Apps & Gaming – Pakistan, a newly created role based out of the company’s Asia-Pacific headquarters in Singapore.
This is more than just a job title. It marks a major recognition of Pakistan’s rising influence in the global digital and gaming landscape. Mehta, a seasoned expert in gaming and mobile applications, has spent years championing Pakistan’s creative economy and now, he’s in a position to help it grow from one of the biggest stages in tech.
Before joining Google, Mehta worked with Epic Games, where he played a key role in amplifying Pakistan’s presence in the international gaming space. At Epic, he wasn’t just a representative he was a driving force behind showcasing the talent, ambition, and potential coming out of Pakistan’s developer community.
What makes this appointment even more significant is the rigorous process behind it. Google opened the role to the public and conducted a competitive 10-month recruitment cycle that involved several rounds of evaluations and interviews. In the end, Mehta emerged as the clear choice to represent Pakistan’s fast-evolving mobile apps and gaming sector at a global level.
In a heartfelt note shared online, Mehta wrote:
“Pakistan is brimming with talent. The world just needs to see it.”
He described his new role as more than a personal achievement calling it an opportunity to give back to the community that shaped his career. “I’ve walked into Google offices around the world as a guest, a partner, and always as an admirer. This time, I walked in with a badge,” he said.
Mehta’s vision is clear: to support developers, studios, and publishers in Pakistan to scale their ideas, build stronger products, and connect with global markets. His message to the local tech ecosystem is both humble and motivating he’s here to listen, support, and grow together.
Perhaps just as significant as Mehta’s appointment is what it represents Google’s serious commitment to Pakistan. Creating a position dedicated solely to Pakistan’s mobile and gaming industry signals a strategic interest in the country’s digital future. With a young, mobile-first population and a booming developer base, Pakistan is fast emerging as a key market for global tech firms.
This isn’t just a personal win for Fasieh Mehta it’s a collective milestone. It tells us that Pakistani talent is no longer waiting on the sidelines of global innovation. It’s stepping into the arena and starting to lead.
