Nabeel Qadeer Joins OctoberNow as their Strategy Adviser

October Now is an emerging e-commerce platform that provides an alternative for stressful daily shopping by connecting end-customers with trusted, leading grocery stores for easy deliveries at their doorsteps.

Adding to their vision of a digital Pakistan and contributing to the e-commerce landscape, OctoberNow proudly announces bringing Nabeel Qadeer on-board as their Advisor for Strategy.

Nabeel is an executive coach, consultant, entrepreneur, content producer and an author. He is among the pioneers of the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Pakistan, and during his tenure at Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB) as the Director of Entrepreneurship, he initiated multiple ‘first of its kind’ projects – Plan9 (start-up incubator), PlanX (accelerator), TechHub Connect (freelancing and co-working space) and e-Rozgaar (freelancing centers), to name a few.

He is also widely known for ‘Idea Croron Ka’, a business reality TV show he conceptualized and hosted to bridge the gap between entrepreneurs and investors. Speaking about the ‘why’ behind the company, Irfan Fazli (Founder and Group CEO October Now) shares:

The ethos of my life has been to challenge life itself before it challenges you and everything we do at OctoberNow is a reflection of it!

What makes OctoberNow different from other online grocery apps is that it is the only 2-hour delivery grocery shopping app operating in two metropolitan cities, Karachi and Lahore. With over 5,000 products in different stores, the app lets its users compare prices and make a decision. In case of unavailability of any items the users can make a request, place an order through chat and audio features, and track the rider in real-time.

From entrepreneurs to traditional businessmen, professionals, students and households, Nabeel brings together the understanding of common challenges faced by a common Pakistani. This aligns with OctoberNow’s empathetic approach in making their shopping experience worthwhile.

Upon his joining, Shahid Afridi, Brand Ambassador October Now, stated:

Having Nabeel Qadeer as the Strategy Advisor is a phenomenal addition to our team! Being someone who has spent over a decade working for the youth and advancement of the country, he will help us accelerate on our journey towards a digital Pakistan!

Powered by BenchMatrix, a tech advisory services company focused on piloting new technologies for customers, the application is available for download on both Android and iOS.
