As a part of this initiative, one of the fastest-growing esports, gaming and lifestyle organisations in the world signed the first Pakistani female gamer Madiha Naz in 2020, to enter the realm of esports professionally.

Fakhar-e-Alam, CEO of Galaxy Racer Pakistan, said: “Our initiative of HER Galaxy is to give opportunity encourage and nurture Pakistani girls to explore possibilities in the esports universe and compete with the best around the world.”
