In a move that bridges the gap between academic institutions and digital commerce platforms, Golootlo has officially partnered with SZABIST University Karachi through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), unlocking a suite of exclusive discount benefits for the entire SZABIST community. This strategic collaboration opens access to a network of over 30,000 food, retail, and lifestyle brands across Pakistan, bringing meaningful financial advantages to students, alumni, faculty, and administrative staff.
The MoU marks a significant milestone in Golootlo’s mission to democratize savings and make everyday spending more efficient through technology. As Pakistan’s leading discount platform, Golootlo has grown its presence across diverse sectors, and this partnership reinforces its aim to deepen engagement with young, urban, and digitally active audiences.
SZABIST University, a prominent name in higher education with campuses across Pakistan, has long emphasized innovation and value creation for its community. This initiative is a testament to its efforts to extend beyond academic boundaries and provide real-world benefits to its ecosystem of stakeholders. The newly forged partnership ensures that every individual affiliated with SZABIST can now enjoy personalized digital savings, making life more affordable and digitally connected.
The official signing ceremony was held at SZABIST Karachi and attended by key representatives from both institutions. Representing Golootlo were Muhammad Fahad Mahmood, CEO of Golootlo, and Kashif Amin Hamidani, Head of Corporate Sales. From SZABIST, the event featured Fahad Zuberi, Head of University Advancement & Alumni and Program Manager for BBA, along with Nadia Ansari, Manager of Alumni Relations, Donia Niaz, Manager of University Advancement, and Qurat-ul-ain Abro and Parkash Kanjee, both Alumni Relations Officers.
This partnership underscores a growing trend in Pakistan’s digital commerce landscape—where fintech and e-commerce players are actively forming strategic alliances with educational institutions. The goal is clear: to provide added value through seamless digital experiences and real-time benefits. Golootlo’s user-friendly digital platform ensures that SZABIST users can easily tap into a wide variety of discounts through a single app, fostering a smarter and more economically conscious lifestyle.
As the nation’s youth and academic institutions increasingly embrace digital platforms, collaborations like this one set a strong precedent for what future-ready partnerships should look like. By enabling cost-effective access to goods and services, Golootlo and SZABIST are jointly promoting financial empowerment and digital inclusion.
Looking ahead, both organizations express optimism for expanding this initiative further, potentially paving the way for internships, digital literacy programs, and enhanced engagement in Pakistan’s evolving tech economy. This collaboration is not just about discounts—it’s about building a digitally connected, benefit-rich community that thrives on innovation and accessibility.
