What Happened That Evening

Sara Malvy walked into WorkPod, and within minutes, the usual polite event atmosphere shifted into something more real. Sara runs businesses in Pakistan and Dubai, but she didn’t present success stories or perfect timelines. She showed up with the truth about what building something actually looks like.”

The Part Nobody Warns You About

Sara didn’t waste time on theory. She talked about her first failed partnership. The investor meeting that went sideways. Managing a team across two countries when half your calls happen at midnight. The month she seriously considered quitting.

But here’s what made people lean in, she explained how she got through each situation. Not in vague terms, but with actual steps. How do you know when an idea is worth pursuing? Test it fast and cheap. When should you pivot? When the market tells you to, not when you’re just tired. How do you price your services? She had a framework for that, too.

Someone asked about work-life balance. Sara’s answer caught people off guard: “Some months are chaos. Accept that. But know the difference between building something and just being disorganized.” The room appreciated the honesty.

Questions That Led Somewhere

The second half turned into the kind of conversation that doesn’t happen at typical networking events. People asked real questions. How do you handle a business partner who isn’t pulling their weight? What do you do when clients don’t pay on time? How do you market without a big budget?

Sara answered each one directly, sometimes asking the room for their experiences too. What started as a Q&A became a group troubleshooting session. By the end, three people had committed to specific next steps out loud. One woman said she’d been sitting on a training business idea for 2 years and scheduled her first client call for the following Tuesday.

That’s the kind of momentum these sessions create.

Why This Matters to WorkPod

We didn’t build WorkPod just to rent desks. We built it because Lahore needs spaces where these conversations happen, where Sara Malvy can show up and tell you the unglamorous truth about entrepreneurship. Where someone finally stops planning and starts doing.

The event room where this happened isn’t fancy for the sake of being fancy. It’s designed so people can focus on what matters: the conversation, the connections, the moment when someone decides actually to go for it, good lighting, reliable tech, comfortable seating, and an easy location. The basics are done right so that the critical stuff can happen.
