Meet the team that turned a bold idea into Pakistan’s most trustworthy marketplace — every pixel, every feature, every decision made for people.
Two founders. One shared conviction Pakistan’s marketplace deserved far better.
Adeem brings years of professional experience from Dubai spanning product branding, cinematography, videography, video editing, graphic design, and user interface development helping brands communicate their ideas through thoughtful design and storytelling.
Karnival was born from a simple observation: Pakistan’s marketplace needed a change. For years, buyers and sellers struggled with complicated platforms, hidden fees, and safety concerns. “Someone should fix this” eventually became “I’m going to fix this.”
During development, Adeem examined every detail from the customer’s perspective from the way users browse listings to how they communicate ensuring every interaction is effortless, intuitive, and safe.
Karnival is more than an app it is a long-standing vision to help build a better and more reliable digital marketplace for Pakistan.
COO & Co-Founder
My name is Adeem Anwar, and I am the Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer of Karnival. I bring years of professional experience in Dubai in the fields of product branding, cinematography, videography, video editing, graphic design, and user interface development. Over the years, I have worked closely with organizations and businesses in creative media and digital design, helping brands communicate their ideas and products through thoughtful design and storytelling.
That experience is what led him to Karnival. Watching buyers and sellers across Pakistan struggle with overcomplicated platforms and hidden costs, he chose to act on it. Pakistan deserved a marketplace built around people, not just transactions.
At Karnival, Adeem has shaped the product from the ground up, always from the customer’s perspective. Every feature and interaction has been carefully considered to ensure the experience feels natural, safe, and genuinely useful building something people can trust and keep coming back to.
