FNStore.pk, a digital platform founded in May 2022 by Fayyaz Baloch, a young man from a small town in Punjab, has transformed the lives of thousands of unserved youths by organizing modern training in technology.
Fayyaz Baloch, the 18-year-old founder of FNStore.pk, told this news agency that his mission was to empower youth through training in IT. Within just three years, the organization has turned into the largest youth-based tech movement in Pakistan’s rural belt, particularly across Punjab.
He shared how his journey from a small town in Dera Ghazi Khan had grown into a province-wide movement that is transforming the lives of thousands.
“When people talk about Punjab, they often speak of its challenges. I want them to see its potential,” Fayyaz remarked.
This province is full of raw talent and untapped energy. All it needed was a platform, and that’s what I set out to build.
FNStore.pk: Punjab’s Largest Youth-Based Tech Movement
Through FNStore.pk, Fayyaz and his team have educated thousands of students with practical, hands-on training in technology, digital skills, freelancing, and entrepreneurship.
From digital marketing and coding workshops to long-form training programmes, FNStore.pk has reached youth in areas that were previously disconnected from the digital economy.
“We didn’t just teach them theory,” Fayyaz explained. “We trained them to build portfolios, to work on real-world projects, and to prepare for the job market. Hundreds of students have now secured internships and jobs, both locally and internationally, because of what they learned with us.”
Bringing Tech to Rural Punjab
The initiative hasn’t been limited to big cities either. “We deliberately chose to host tech youth summits in remote areas, places where no one thinks of organizing tech events,” he said.
FNStore.pk has brought digital tools and mentors straight to districts across Punjab inspiring students from villages and towns who never imagined joining the digital economy.
“When we first started, Punjab was overlooked by most big players in the tech industry. But now, companies are beginning to see the value in investing here,” Fayyaz explained.
“Through our platform, we have showcased the talent, drive, and hunger for success that exists in our youth. Big speakers and top companies are now coming to Punjab because they see the region as an emerging hub for tech innovation,” he shared.
Opportunities in Emerging Technologies
Fayyaz believes tech education is the most powerful equaliser. “Some of the children we trained didn’t even own smartphones when they started. Today, they’re earning from freelancing, interning with top startups, or launching their own ventures. That’s real change.”
FNStore.pk has brought top companies to Punjab by hosting global giants like Binance, Bitget, CoinEx, and Microsoft through their employees and exhibitions.
These partnerships have provided valuable exposure to cutting-edge technology and attracted investment and attention to the region. Thousands of students have received specialised education in emerging fields like Web3 and blockchain.
Students who never had access to these fields are now not only learning but also working in blockchain and cryptocurrency building projects, securing internships, and even getting jobs in the Web3 space.
Beyond Technology: Giving Back to the Community
Beyond training and employment, Fayyaz Baloch has made significant contributions to his community. From organizing free medical camps in rural Punjab to launching educational webinars for schools, his efforts go far beyond business.
His social contributions have earned him recognition and awards for empowering the youth and uplifting underserved communities.
FNStore.pk’s signature programmes including Youth Summits, Tech Fests, free medical camps, and training workshops have already impacted thousands of students across Punjab.
👉 With FNStore.pk, Fayyaz Baloch has not only built a platform for digital growth but also a movement of empowerment, proving that even from small towns, big changes can be made.
