Referring to recent developments, Saquib termed Thal Limited’s digital transformation as clear evidence that Pakistani enterprises are ready to embrace this journey. “Thal’s successful transition shows that Pakistan is not just catching up — we are capable of leading. Enterprises like Thal are paving the way to make Pakistan a digital innovation hub and a serious contender in the global digital economy.”
In line with this vision, Thal Limited has gone live with RISE with SAP, transforming its operations through SAP S/4HANA Cloud. Executed in partnership with TMC, the move equips Thal with real-time data, enhanced agility, and smarter decision-making—positioning it among the country’s most forward-looking industrial players.
