The 2025 New Power Award concluded in Hangzhou on December 22 with Impex Pakistan named among the Global Top 20 finalists, marking the first time a Pakistani seller reached this stage. The competition, which opened to sellers worldwide for the first time, recognises pioneering B2B exporters who combine strong export performance, digital operations and fresh business thinking. Impex Pakistan earned attention for its innovative AI Commander<\/em> approach and its rapid ascent on Alibaba.com.\"\"<\/p>\n

Haider Ali, CEO of Impex Pakistan, described how a digital-first pivot transformed a traditional Himalayan pink salt business into a high-efficiency export operation. By leveraging Alibaba.com and focused digital workflows, Ali secured his first 20-foot container order in just 23 days, a breakthrough that set the company on a path to exponential growth and helped it reach buyers in over 30 countries.<\/p>\n

To handle fast expansion without ballooning staff, Ali integrated Alibaba\u2019s AI-powered Smart Assistant to automate routine e-commerce tasks such as product optimisation and multi-timezone communication. He emphasises that technology should amplify human skills, saying “AI is an accelerator. What truly matters is your ability to command it. That\u2019s why I don\u2019t say ‘I use AI.’ I say: ‘I am an AI Commander.'” This approach allowed his small team to operate with the efficiency of a much larger organisation.<\/p>\n

Today roughly 60 percent of Impex Pakistan\u2019s revenue comes through Alibaba.com, underlining the platform\u2019s role in scaling exports for local SMEs. Ali frames his success as proof that digital tools can level the international playing field: while AI handles data and routine tasks, human judgment and trust remain central to global trade and long-term buyer relationships.<\/p>\n

The New Power Award finale retained its debate-driven format this year, sparking industry discussion on themes such as team versus individual agility, scaling versus premium value, AI as tool versus partner, and asset-light versus heavy-operations globalisation. Around 500 candidates typically enter multiple evaluation rounds each year before about 20 finalists reach the global stage, and Alibaba officials highlighted the platform\u2019s commitment to sharing proven B2B methods that help exporters convert local expertise into sustainable international growth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
