July 03, 2025 (MLN): In a significant development for Pakistan’s tech landscape, Microsoft has officially closed its operations in the country, bringing an end to a 25-year chapter for the global software giant.

The last few remaining employees were formally informed of the shutdown, marking a quiet yet emotional close to an era that began in June 2000 with the launch of Microsoft Pakistan.

Jawwad Rehman, the founding Country Manager who led Microsoft’s early journey in Pakistan, shared his reflections in a heartfelt post on X (formerly Twitter), calling it “the most rewarding journey” of his personal and professional life.

“It wasn’t just a job... it was a calling,” Rehman wrote. He led the company for seven years, helping assemble a talented team, serve customers, and build key partnerships that supported Pakistan’s digital transformation.

Rehman described the mission as “bold and hope-filled,” adding that the experience had “shaped me, stretched me, and helped define who I am today.”
