Being invited onto national television as a guest is one thing. Being invited as a recognized entrepreneur someone whose work speaks loudly enough to earn that seat is something else entirely.
Engr. Waqas ur Rehman, CEO of EMAL Media Group and Chief Editor of Modern Living Magazine, recently appeared as a special guest on Rising Pakistan, the morning show aired on PTV Home Official. The invitation came from the state’s national television channel itself, which says a great deal about the kind of recognition his work has earned beyond the pages of a magazine or the walls of a media house.
The show, which has long been a platform for voices that matter, welcomed Engr. Waqas ur Rehman in the context of entrepreneurship his journey, his vision, and what it actually takes to build something meaningful in Pakistan’s competitive media landscape. These conversations rarely stay surface level on Rising Pakistan, and this one was no different. The kind of questions a national morning show asks a successful entrepreneur tend to get to the heart of things the struggles behind the milestones, the decisions that defined the direction, and the philosophy that keeps it all moving forward.
For those who have followed Modern Living Magazine’s growth, this appearance felt like a natural moment of acknowledgment. The magazine has steadily built a reputation not just as a lifestyle publication but as a serious media platform one that shows up at cultural events, partners with established names, and consistently delivers content that resonates with its audience. That doesn’t happen without strong leadership, and Engr. Waqas ur Rehman has been the driving force behind much of it.
What makes moments like this significant is not just the television appearance itself, but what it represents. PTV Home is not a platform that extends invitations casually. Being featured on Rising Pakistan as a successful entrepreneur places Engr. Waqas ur Rehman in a conversation that extends far beyond Rawalpindi or the media industry it reaches households across the country, carried by a channel that has been a trusted name in Pakistani broadcasting for decades.
For EMAL Media Group, it is a moment of quiet but meaningful pride. And for the people who have watched Modern Living Magazine grow from the ground up, it is confirmation of something they already knew that the person steering the ship has always been worth paying attention to.
