1.0 Executive Summary

1.1 It is hard to find the desire platform at the time of recognition, value and career path. Further,
if anyone wants to pursue and needs a platform where the general public or naat lovers can see
them performing, he or she needs to reach the audience themselves without any platform. I know
a group of naatkhwan who wants to embrace naat as passion but they could not find any place
where they can get recognition apart from their own efforts.
1.2 ‫ أناشيد‬is an online platform and live set up of a studio which will solve the problems of
emerging naatkhwan stated above. First of all it will be easy for the young naatkhwan to get
recognized and make use of their talent. Then, for live appearances or performance we will be

possibility of Studio ‫أناشيد‬. Some Facebook posts or in WhatsApp videos, this class has some
place yet its distinctive in light of the fact that Studio ‫ أناش?يد‬won't just give platform yet in
addition offer them advantageous access to the arrangement by their audience.
1.5 It is estimated that start-up expenses will near PRs. This amount of money will be used to
purchase naatkhwan equipment, studio environment, website development, application
development and maintenance, promotion and other start-up expenses. We will also need
approximately PRs. 100000 for cash on hand at start-up. Expenses and initial cash requirements
will be funded by all partners.
