Hi All 👋🏼 Myself and Lalita (CTO) are both second generation South Asian immigrants born in the UK. Like our parents, we both faced similar obstacles when moving to the Middle East. Meeting people, building relationships, and being accepted by various communities was extremely difficult. We’ve both lived and worked in the region and found this a common problem amongst our friends, family, and broader network. Wasta is a community that curates a 1:1 professional introduction between people who share the same goals, interests, and objectives across the Middle East, Asia, and Africa. Wasta stimulates a conversation creating cross border communities, promotes collaboration and problem solving in high growth markets. Wasta uses data powered through AI to create a meaningful match. Once a connection is accepted, the platform seamlessly facilitates a meeting by scheduling a time and sending an introductory email with calendar invite. At the completion of the meeting, user feedback is generated through a survey to track user satisfaction.
