We sit down with Kanwal Cheema, founder of My Impact Meter, for an insightful podcast to discuss her journey of self-discovery, her wonderful challenges, and her beautiful hopes for the future. Kanwal opens up about her personal and professional life telling us the best advice she has ever received and following it up with the raw emotional moment she felt the most alone. She describes how her beliefs have evolved over time through her religious awakening and the legacy she wants to leave behind for Pakistan and the world at large. We talk about the hard and difficult lessons she has had to learn while working towards her goal and how they have impacted her personality.
We also explore her informed critique of the flawed charity systems in Pakistan and the inspiration behind My Impact Meter. Kanwal shares the challenges of working in Pakistan, suggesting that many of the problems that have been addressed have actually been addressed through technology. Kanwal Cheema addresses stereotypes about appearance and how her beauty as well as her appearance have led to both positive and negative things. On the same lines, she discusses the profound differences between love and hate and why hate takes more out of a person.
Looking forward, Kanwal Cheema reflects on how AI is set to revolutionize the world, how the VPN ban in Pakistan is impacting the people, and why India is ahead in tech. She also provides an inspiring and progressive message for the youth of India and Pakistan within the podcast. Join us for a thought-provoking conversation about modern culture, faith, and the future of technology in South Asia.
