To cope with job insecurities in the media industry, a new platform ‘RINSTRA’ has been launched in Pakistan to create media entrepreneurship and encourage creativity and inspire imagination and sense of ownership towards the ideas and values that define Pakistan.

Chairman and Co-founder, Rinstra Technologies Dr. Adil Akhtar said, “this initiative was conceived and incubated by creative art and media. He said that we further developed it by inviting the key professionals in the Pakistani media industry, specializing in media management, news and entertainment content creation and production designs etc.”. We have opened the platform for content creators through our interactive site www.irinstra.com.
