Lahore: Zuma Resources Ltd, previously known as Bilal Fibres Limited, has reported a strategic transition from its textile origins to the information technology sector. This significant shift was formally acknowledged by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP), following a name change and a shareholder-approved transformation of its business model. The announcement came through the company’s quarterly progress report for the quarter ending December 2025, dated January 7, 2026.
The transformation was ratified by the shareholders during the Annual General Meeting held on December 31, 2025. The newly adopted business strategy involves a focus on IT investments and partnerships, with an emphasis on technology, AI-enabled services, electric vehicle technology, healthcare technology, e-commerce, and other emerging sectors. As part of this transition, directors have infused PKR 8.495 million into the company to support the new operational model.
In a bid to navigate this new direction, Zuma Resources Ltd has appointed a new Chief Executive Officer with an MBA from LUMS. The CEO brings over 17 years of experience in the telecom and technology sectors, marking a strategic leadership move to steer the company through its transformation phase.
According to information available from the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), the company is also expanding its physical presence. A new head office has been set up in DHA Phase-8, Lahore, and plans are underway to open an additional office in Islamabad. This development is part of the company’s efforts to strengthen its operational capabilities.
The company is actively pursuing strategic partnerships with high-growth entities, having recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Elysium Technologies LLC, USA. This agreement focuses on collaboration in the global travel e-SIM business, potentially granting Zuma Resources access to a digital marketplace that spans over 120 countries.
Zuma Resources’ management is optimistic that this diversification from traditional textile operations into the IT sector will bolster revenue potential, enhance operational resilience, and generate sustainable long-term value for the company and its shareholders.
