ISLAMABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 19th May, 2024) Seven talented Pakistanis have made it to Forbes' prestigious '30 Under 30 Asia' list, celebrating their remarkable achievements across various fields at a young age.
The renowned American economic magazine Forbes recognizes individuals who have made significant contributions and achieved notable success before turning 30.
