Pakistani healthcare startup Marham has won the Audience Choice Award at the Google Demo
Day Asia held today in Shanghai. The audience at the Demo Day were also given a chance to
vote for their favorite startup. Among the 10 startups participating at the Demo Day, the
Audience Choice award went to Marham from Pakistan.
Marham.pk is the leading digital healthcare platform in Pakistan helping people to find, book and
consult doctors online. The startup was established three years back with an aim of
transforming the healthcare experience for the people of Pakistan.
The Founder Ehsan Imam said;
‘It feels surreal to be recognized by the audience at the Google Demo Day. I owe this award to
my entire Marham Team who’ve taken us to this point. We’re now more motivated than ever
before and this will help us in achieving global outreach and a greater social impact in Pakistan.’
Earlier last month, Marham was the only startup from Pakistan invited to pitch at the Google
Demo Day Asia. The team has made full use of this opportunity by making Pakistan proud on
the stage of the Demo Day. This award is a testament to the entire world that the startup
ecosystem in Pakistan is thriving with successful and brilliant entrepreneurs.
The Demo Day Asia journey isn’t over yet. Every finalist will have a chance for success
following their presentations on this global stage. Startups from our past eight Demo Days have
raised over $279M since 2014, and startups in our Google for Entrepreneurs Network have
raised over $1.8B in funding and created 20,000 new jobs globally.
