Inbox Business Technologies Limited (Urdu: ان باکس بزنس ٹیکنالوجیز لمیٹڈ‎) is an information technology (IT) company headquartered in Karachi, Pakistan[7].

Originally started in 2001 as a personal computer assembler, Inbox has pivoted to providing managed services.[8] It is one of the largest IT companies in Pakistan in terms of domestic revenue.[9] The company has offices in 50 cities across Pakistan, over 1500 employees. Its customers include companies from the public,[10] commercial,[11] financial and telecom[12] sector. Inbox was in 2016 recognized by the Pakistan Software Export Board (PSEB) as the largest IT Company of Pakistan in terms of domestic revenue.[13][14] In 2021, the company declared a consolidated annual revenue of over PKR 5,500,000,000 (US$3million){{Citation needed|date=August 2024} company.[15]

History

In 2001, Inbox started as the first local assembler of computers in Pakistan by Ghias Khan, Muhammad Ali, and Mir Nasir.[8]. In 2004, a significant stake (approximately 51%) was acquired by Hussain Dawood and is since then associated with the Dawood Hercules Corporation, one of the largest conglomerates in Pakistan.[16] Following the acquisition, Inbox transitioned from assembling computers to providing system integration services with new offerings of managed services infrastructure, digital services, customized processes, and technology alliances.[17] In 2019, Dawood acquired 100% of Inbox's shares.[18]

The company since then has domestically partnered with global companies like Huawei, Oracle, and Microsoft.[19] The company is expanding presence in Saudi Arabia through partnerships.[20]

Inbox deployed a technical facility on internet gateways nationwide, to curb illegal international traffic, to strengthen the regulator to enforce OTT regulatory framework, and to provide basis for national cyber security and content filtering.[21]
