Core Team (Lahore)

Andreas Daniel Matt Andreas Daniel Matt
Captain

At Danka nobody does math better than Andreas! Dr. Andreas holds Ph.D. in Computers and Mathematics from the University of Innsbruck, Austria.. If it weren’t for Danka to be founded here in Lahore, he would have been across the world twice. And that too, in his antique wagon!

Foaad Nizam
Additional Driver (yes, we have the post!)

About Foaad they say 'Don't judge by the cover'. He has all the ingredients to be a part of Pakistani cricket team; tons of potential energy threatening to break loose but mainly for the consistancy part! He teaches Guitar at Lahore Chitrkar, and is invariably found on almost every musical evening.

Sajjad Haider Sajjad Haider
Gnome

Sarkari Sajjad (due to his affiliation with PITB) is currently doing his MBA from LUMS which keeps him extremely busy but he still manages to find time for some Danka activities such as promoting it to students. He also volunteers time for ADP, a social development organization based in Boston. Sajjad is reliable as a rock, one of our main managers and a very funny and nice chap!.

Asif Zaman Asif Zaman
Official Danka Tourguide

Nobody can show you Lahore with more fun than Asif. Due to the knowledge of many languages and the deep history of Lahore and Pakistan every trip with him seems like an adventure. Beside giving tours in Lahore he is an official tourguide for several other parts in Pakistan, including the Northern Areas and can organise transportation and hotel.

Sara Sara Azeem
Keeper of the Vault

Sara is our finance and accounting in charge. She lived and studied in Lahore (she is studying a lot these days). She has no singing talent whatsoever but hopefully now she will start creating local culture.

Core Team (Karachi)

Mansoor Adenwala Mansoor Adenwala


Mansoor is a born and bred karachiite, with a very recent interest in the arts. An improvement consultant by day, he spends most of his time idly sitting by while telling others what to do. His interest in the art scene began with the realization that there is definitely more to life than just making money and it is equally important to appreciate the 'finer' things in life. Through danka, he wishes to spread this realization to others and promote the arts scene in Karachi as best as he can.

Connections: Karachi Metroblogs

Shaza recently finished her masters from the University of Karachi with a major in Literature. She has been working at The News City desk as a sub-editor/Reporter for the past months now. Before she was an admin manager for an out sourcing company. Apart from this she is a self taught artist and simply LOVES reading. She is the main EVENT HUNTER of Karachi, so take care!
