VIYLSA turns universities, hotels, hospitals, real estate and showrooms into 360° virtual tours, each one with a built-in AI guide that answers visitors in English and Urdu, captures enquiries, and shows you which spaces attract attention.
Carries the plan for where VIYLSA goes next, and the reason both halves of it have something to do tomorrow. Deep in the tech with Saqlain by morning, planning the next post with Aena by afternoon, and picking up whichever role the week turns out to be missing.
Builds the tour player, the bilingual AI guide and the analytics behind them, and knows every layer of the stack cold. Happiest turning anything into a conversation about logic. The theory is negotiable. The code ships.
Her eye is the reason a VIYLSA tour looks like VIYLSA: every post, every frame and every "what if we did it like this" starts with her. Put her and Aleena on the same problem and something ships. Best friends whose partnership somehow keeps producing.
VIYLSA started at ICAT. We had an idea we wanted to build properly, so we picked one: a virtual tour of a university campus. None of us set out to start a business. We set out to make the thing work.
Building it taught us the craft the hard way. How to shoot a space so it reads honestly. How to link scenes so walking through them feels like walking through the building. How much of a visitor's question a tour can answer on its own, and where it still needs someone to speak up.
Somewhere in that work the real discovery arrived, and it was not technical. Almost every venue around us had the same gap: people decide whether a place is worth visiting from their phone, long before they turn up at the gate, and almost nobody was giving them anything to decide with. A photo gallery and a phone number that only works between nine and six. We had just built the missing piece by accident, and we knew we could build it for anyone.
The project won. That was the first signal that we were not the only people who found this interesting.
The second signal mattered more. We started showing the tour to friends, then to their friends, then to people who had no reason to be kind to us. The reaction kept coming back the same way, from people who owed us nothing. That is a different kind of feedback from a grade, and it is the one that made us take the idea seriously.
We took VIYLSA to NEIC and pitched it to a panel of judges and industry experts. Standing in front of people whose job is to find the hole in your reasoning forces a certain honesty: what exactly is the product, who exactly pays for it, and why now.
We were selected. What we walked away with was worth more than the result, which was the confidence that this holds up outside the room we built it in.
VIYLSA is self-funded. Every rupee that has gone into the hardware came out of our own pockets, deliberately, because we would rather own the decisions while the product is still finding its shape.
So we are doing the unglamorous version: buying the kit, shooting the venues ourselves, and taking on a first group of founding businesses at locked-in early pricing. Small enough that every venue gets all three of us on it.
The name is the whole promise. Bringing visits online, so that the first visit to a place can happen from a phone in Lahore or a laptop abroad and still be walkable, answerable and measurable. We want to build that for businesses right across Pakistan.
The person who scopes your venue is holding the camera on the day, and answering your message six months later. You deal with the same faces from the first call onward.
Every venue is different, so every tour is quoted to the space. You get that number after one call and before anyone turns up, never as a surprise at the end.
The NEIC tour, the NUTECH Entrepreneur & Incubation Centre, is embedded on our homepage, not a marketing video of it. You can drag it, open the hotspots and judge the product before you talk to us.
Tell us about your venue: a university, a property, a hotel, a hall. We'll show you exactly how it looks as a 360° tour, and what it takes to get there.
