✍️ By Shariq Ali | Valueversity
🎯 For children aged 8 to 80
If you are a young person from Pakistan’s middle class, then Sualeh Asif’s story is a guiding light for you.
In fact, I believe every youth in Pakistan must read this piece.
What’s that? You’ve never heard this name before? 😮
Then it means you’re still unaware of the silent revolutionary who is quietly shaping the future of global technology. 🧠🌍
🧮 From Karachi to MIT
Born in Karachi, Sualeh Asif represented Pakistan in the International Mathematical Olympiad between 2016 and 2018.
These were the foundational steps that led him to the prestigious MIT.
There, he developed expertise in a wide range of fields including machine learning, numerical analysis, performance engineering, and even theatre. 🎓🌐🎭
💡 Cursor: A Coding Revolution
After graduating from MIT, in 2022 Sualeh co-founded a company called Anysphere with his friends.
Its first creation was Cursor — an intelligent AI-powered code editor. 🧑💻✨
It not only completes code but also understands entire projects and acts like a smart assistant.
Today, developers at OpenAI, Stripe, Spotify, and Uber use it. 🚀
💰 Three Years, $9.9 Billion Valuation
In 2025, Anysphere raised $900 million in funding,
bringing its valuation to $9.9 billion — in just three years! 🏆📈
🌱 A Lesson for the Youth
Greatness is born out of silence and consistent effort.
Dreams can grow even in underdeveloped cities.
If there is determination in the heart and a hunger to learn,
then even an ordinary student can soar from a local classroom to MIT and Silicon Valley.
Remember: Knowledge, sincerity, and perseverance combined can change the world. 🌍💫
