‘Control in chaos’: how MediaVerse changing the student experience at KU
“Fail fast, fail often.” This is advice I believe I needed to hear earlier in life, when all I could think about was how one failure could ruin me completely.

The third edition of MediaVerse, a student-led media platform at the University of Karachi, brought together a diverse group of speakers and attendees for its "Control in Chaos" theme. Organized by Syeda Mona Batool Taqvi, the event featured high-profile speakers such as Asad Umar, Saife Hasan, Alyy Khan, Osamah Nasir, and Rabia Mughni, as well as social media influencers, LinkedIn thought leaders, politicians, and entrepreneurs.
The central idea of the event was to help students navigate uncertainty and find opportunities within chaos. MediaVerse aimed to bridge the gap between academia and the professional world by providing practical experience for students. The event's founders emphasized the importance of failure, training the mind to look at situations solution-oriented, and encouraging experimentation and risk-taking.
MediaVerse's success was attributed to the dedication of its student organizers, who transformed an initial idea into a self-sustaining initiative capable of creating meaningful change. Dr. Sadia Mahmood, the Chairperson of the Department of Mass Communication, highlighted the growth in students' confidence and skills, as well as the value of industry partnerships. She praised the team's ability to manage the event independently, reflecting the profound impact MediaVerse has had on its participants.
