BaKhabar Kissan (BKK), Founder
Speaker Bio
Khizer Alam Khan’s journey from the telecom sector to leading Pakistan’s largest agri-tech platform reflects his passion for using technology to improve lives. After building expertise in communication, operations, and data-driven services, and helping make Switch Communications the largest VAS provider in Pakistan, he recognized a major gap: farmers were being left out of the country’s digital transformation.
To bridge this divide, Khizer founded BaKhabar Kissan (BKK) in 2015, creating a data-driven platform that offers farmers localized agri-advisory services across crops, livestock, pest and disease management, and real-time weather alerts. In 2021, BKK expanded into fulfillment, supplying recommended inputs through the BKK app and web commerce.
Under Khizer’s leadership, BKK has grown into Pakistan’s largest phygital agri-tech ecosystem, reaching millions of farmers through a mobile app, IVR, SMS, call center, social media, and physical agri centers. Its impact already measuring over 20% improvement for many farmers is supported by partnerships with Bank Alfalah, Neem, Mobilink Microfinance Bank, and GSMA.
BKK is advancing toward automated data creation using GIS-based farm profiling and its own agri data bank, enabling increasingly tailored advisories where every advisory can trigger fulfillment.
Today, BKK has 1.7 million profiled farmers, with 1.5 million active users. Since 2015, its revenue has grown to PKR 1 billion in 2024, all reinvested to strengthen the platform. With assets such as 350 automated weather stations, predictive analytics, soil testing tools, satellite monitoring, and digital farm records, BKK is preparing to expand beyond Pakistan in 2026, aligning with the national goal of exporting technology and services.
Khizer’s leadership is defined by empathy for farmers and a belief that innovation must reach those who need it most. As he receives the Digital Leaders Award, his message remains clear:
“Technology should not be confined to cities or screens; it should reach the fields, the hands, and the hearts that feed us all.”
With emerging verticals such as GIS, Crop Protection, Seeds, and even the possibility of a future BKK digital bank, Khizer continues to shape a transformative, farmer-centered future for Pakistan’s agriculture sector.
