Empowering Industry Through Practical AI: Highlights from the FBATI (the Federal B. Area Association of Trade & Industry) Executive Workshop
Artificial Intelligence is no longer a future conceptโit is a vital operational driver for industrial resilience, margin protection, and productivity.
As part of the initiative of Rotary International District 3271, THK Group is pleased to have led the executive session, โAI for Business: Productivity for Industry through AI,โ organized in collaboration between the Federal B. Area Association of Trade & Industry (FBATI) and the Rotary Club of Karachi East (RCKE).
Our sincere gratitude to Mr. Raza Hussain, President of FBATI, and the entire Managing Committee and Secretariat of FBATI for graciously hosting, arranging this impactful forum at the FBATI Secretariat, and extending exceptional hospitality. We were also privileged to welcome District Governor Shahzad Sabir (Rotary International District 3271) as our Chief Guest of Honour, whose address and presence reinforced the commitment to technological advancement across our industrial base.
This exclusive workshop conducted for FBATI members brought together over 40 business owners and their children involved in the business. It was particularly encouraging to see a dynamic cross-generational presenceโwith both seasoned industrial stalwarts and the next generation of young business leaders actively engaging on practical ways to future-proof Pakistani industry.
THK Groupโs leadership delivered the keynote masterclass and interactive prompt engineering labs:

Saqib Raza , Partner Technology / CEO, Transformation Enablers (Pvt.) Ltd. | Chair, AI for Business Committee, Rotary District 3271 & President, Rotary Club of Karachi East
The session demystified enterprise AI adoptionโdemonstrating practical prompt architectures (the CRAFT framework), live factory P&L interrogation, cutting-room scrap control, and automated cash-flow forecasting tailored specifically to Karachiโs manufacturing realities.
As industrial paradigms evolve, THK Group remains committed to helping businesses bridge the gap between traditional operations and high-efficiency, AI-directed enterprise management.
