Muhammad Umar runs Code Ninja, which pairs U.S. companies solving hard AI problems with engineers in Lahore, Riyadh, and Chile. The bet: emerging markets need access to frontier AI tools to build talent, and that talent helps America compete with China while creating jobs where they're needed.
Where, and, and also, how do places like then Lahore in Pakistan or Riyadh, you know, or Chile, you know, fit into this, this entire story?
So, you know, when we started coding, I mean, we wanted to land up at a point. We are helping some of the most important businesses in America in following the highest priority problems and creating opportunities for knowledge workers in the emerging markets. Both come together as one holistic outcome. That was a starting point. So that's a mission that while we want to solve some very interesting challenges, help America win against China in the race of AI, but on the other hand, I also want to bring emerging markets Pakistan, Riyadh and Chile along with our journey. So that's, that's, I mean, I just wanted to clear it out. The mission of Code Ninja. So of course, the emerging market, what we learned is like AI needs lots of engineers who have the exposure to the frontier tools, right? There's incredible amount investment and time is in these markets that companies are spending to give exposure to those engineers so they can build tools and solve some important challenges for the businesses. So I think when you talk about these markets, Chile, Riyadh, Lahore, I think in terms of setting up global capability centers, research centers, these are the ideal places to set up.
