Well done. Proud of you my friend. Good news. InshAllah Pakistan will rise again. Zara num ho to yeh miti bari zarkhaiz hay

It “will forever change the way all of us buy things”. Really? But doesn't a credit/debit card do the same?

Well done genius (Ahmer Ali Khan ) congrates. Proud to be a Pakistani.

Those who live in pakistan must understand if give good education and environment pakistani can create wonders. PLS NOTE WORLD KNOWS THAT VERY WELL EXCEPT OWN PAKISTANIS AND THEY DON'T WANT TO DO LET YOU BE SO GREAT. if you think out of the box you will see the bigger picture, spread the msg...

Well done Ahmer ! proud of you sir.

Good news.. well done brother! proud of you!

True Pakistan. Well done Sir. Proud of You.

@loyal citizen cant help but laugh at your excitement. This guy bid adieu to this zarkhaiz zameen and flocked to greener pastures. his invention may be great but how does it help Pakistan rise?

Our Hero !

wait, this NFC payment thing has been out...long before...about 4 years ago on my Samsung phone, with google wallet..now how come it's a new thing? beyond me....isheeps are many to be found.

He is an AMERICAN citizen of Pakistani descent.

This is the problem. We did not give environment for people like him to work. Nobody leaves his/her country if he/she is treated well.

Proud of you Ahmer.

This is what a Pakistani should be known for..

Son of Pakistan, our Hero, Ahmer Ali Khan. A great news after very long time.

He took a flight immediately after Graduation!

@Tejaswi - Yes, we were just waiting for your advice. We would be lost without it!

I think we all got too excited and didn't pay any attention to the word "co-invented". Folks, he was one of the people who worked on this product. Let us not get carried away.

Pakistanis are doing good outside Pakistan because they get the opportunities rulers in Islamabad, Lahore, Karachi, Quetta and Peshawar denies them at home. Pakistanis have proven them selves as businessmen, scientists, inventors, doctors and even good politicians in Europe.

Is Ahmer Ali Khan a Pakistani or an American? If he has acquired American citizenship then he has renounced his Pakistani nationality (legally he should). Why are we then celebrating his achievement as an American? As a Pakistani we could not use his talents and that is the only lesson we should learn from him and his wonderful achievements. Good luck to him

@Irfan Education plus enabling enveronment is necessary first creativity. As Mir Taqi Mir said centuries ago 'hum ne yeh mana rahain Deli maen par khaian ge Kia. "

Everyone gets fame and respect in US or EU but Pakistani government reject them, look at Dr Abdul Salam, Malala, but we still hate West even they are the one who give us equal opportunity and recognition. Sorry West we are just a hypocrite nation.

Where are negative comments from the narrow minded Indians?

I think Pakistan deserves this good news.. Well congrats to my pakistani friends, Love from India

Excellent, I am sick of reading about Indians heading up all the big companies Vodafone, Pepsi, Microsoft adobe etc....

Nice to hear. Also highlights brain drain from Pakistan as country does not offer opportunities or security to its citizens.

its sad that he had to leave pakistan because this country is not for educated people anymore. A sorry state.

@A shah stop being jealous. What is wrong with appreciating something good irrespective of the country of origin ? Congratulations to Pakistanis from an Indian. We need more of this kind of news.

Pakistani are the best in IT, the tech head of Samsung in Korea was a pakistai who turned the companies fortunes around.

@A shah Tate and Lyle CEO is Javed Ahmed, but I guess you were being selective with your 'facts'. never mind.

I am commenting mainly because someone or the other will ask where are the Indians ? Here I am congratulating Ahmer Ali Khan. Please remember that people like him in the US can help Pakistan by being the bridge only if there is a the right environment in Pakistan.

@Harmony "Yes, we were just waiting for your advice. We would be lost without it!". Advice or not, you are still lost and will remain lost. The problem is very fundamental.

What is most important to note is that Mr. Khan was a member of a small team, and that whatever innovation was achieved it was due to teamwork. Do our educational institutions practice and teach teamwork?

Apple Pay is one of the most looked up innovations by Apple scheduled to launch on October 20 that is expected to change the way we look at payments. Congrats to all Pakistanis for an innovative mastermind like Ahmer Ali Khan being from there. Hope to see many more successful Pakistanis in future. Best wishes from India.

@Aziz That is such a negative way of looking at your fellow countrymen who you can be proud of. Even if he is in the US and may be a US citizen, he still represents Pakistan and brings glory to your country. Being an Indian, I feel proud that he is from our neighboring country.

@Weirdity - In that case shouldn't waste your words then.

Congratulations and come back to your motherland. We need such talent here more than USA does.

@Aziz You don't have to renounce Pakistani nationality when you get an American Passport. Most of Pakistanis here in US are dual nationals.

@Harmony not really we are now getting to grips with credit card use while western countries are adopting payments through phone via nfc and its considered a much more safer and easier option as it also uses the customers biometric identification even while buying things from cars to houses to books online we on the other hand still have to sign a receipt and call our bank to allow us to pay for somthing online ....im still amazed why hasnt the local media shown this on the tv channels maye cause pakistanis killing pakistanis ring more ratings

Not everyone can afford to get educated at GIKI.

@A shah Your choice of words, your mannerism and your attitude is just what all Pakistanis hate to be associated with them. You obviously have no worry what would people think of you and your manners!!. You might be fed up of hearing the success stories of the Indians but in the last 40 years, while Pakistanis were happy serving their Arabian masters in the Middle East for 300 dollars a month, Indians were building IITs and IIMs and getting themselves educated. I am sad to see another Pakistani who can only get frustrated rather than learning from our really successful next door neighbours who have become the 6th biggest economy in the world. Jealousy will not get us anywhere. We need to follow the Indians. By the way, I recently attended an executive course in one of the top US universities in Boston. Out of a class of 47, there were 21 Indians!. To all my Indian friends, please excuse this man. Trust me, we are all not so rude in Pakistan.

I hope we create more Awesome people like him to make our nation proud

@Aziz ........ Pakistani's may have dual nationalities.

Good Job. Hope it encourages further young and raw talents in the region and Pakistan.

@Khalid agree completely with you brother. Having a healthy competition is always better from all corners. What best it could be when Indians and Pakistanis compete in such thing which is constructive !

Great achievement by great Pakistani....Excellent example for youth.......Ahmed Ali Khan...well done sir......

Seriously????? Pakistanis are finding pride on such a minor feat, and its not as if he is the brain behind the project, he is just team member. But well whatever boosts your moral. Feel pride on some one silicon valley doesn't even care or know about.
