Karachi — Jahanzaib Haque has stepped into the role of Chief Editor at the digital media platform Nukta, signaling a new phase of editorial leadership and growth for the outlet after its acquisition by ARY Digital Network.
The appointment comes shortly after ARY Digital Network acquired a majority stake in Nukta in March 2026. The move integrates Nukta into ARY Group’s broader media ecosystem, aiming to combine broadcast strength with digital innovation and reshape Pakistan’s media landscape through enhanced broadcast-digital synergy.
In a LinkedIn post announcing the development, Haque emphasized that his career has never been driven by titles but by a deep commitment to the work itself. “Those close to me know I’ve never really worked for titles. It’s always been about the work,” he wrote. He added that he has consistently gone beyond job descriptions — from high-level management to moderating comments out of fascination with online communities and audience behavior.
Haque highlighted Nukta’s impressive early performance, noting one billion impressions and 700 million views during its launch year. He expressed strong confidence in the platform’s future, stating that the union with ARY “is going to lead us ever upwards.”
He credited the success to Nukta’s dedicated team, offering special shoutouts to key members including:
Amber Shamsi (Pakistan Editor and mentor)
Kamran Khan (founder and leader)
Murtaza Dar (Lahore Editor)
Faizan Khan (COO)
Quratulain Mohsen (Head of Content, Dubai)
Faisal Aziz Khan (Editor Strategic Communications Middle East and Asia)and many others across editorial, production, partnerships, and social media roles.
Haque concluded with optimism: “Let’s see what we build from here. Excelsior ✨”
Background on Nukta and the Acquisition
Nukta, founded by veteran journalist Kamran Khan, quickly gained traction as a dynamic digital news platform known for its fresh storytelling and strong audience engagement. The ARY acquisition, announced in March 2026, positions Nukta to leverage ARY’s extensive television reach, production capabilities, and international presence while maintaining its digital agility. Nukta continues to operate from its Dubai headquarters as part of the expanded ARY ecosystem.
This development underscores a broader trend of traditional Pakistani broadcasters investing in digital platforms to reach younger audiences and adapt to evolving media consumption habits.
