What Innovative does
Innovative Pvt Ltd (IPL), founded in 1987 by Amir W. Wain in Lahore, is Pakistan's leading ATM solution provider, operating across Pakistan and Afghanistan. The company distributes Diebold Nixdorf ATM hardware (DN Series: 100D, 150D, 200H, 250H, 450H, 470A), CCDMs, and cash recyclers, along with Giesecke+Devrient currency processing systems (BPS series). IPL holds exclusive partnerships with both Diebold Nixdorf (since 2000) and Giesecke+Devrient (since 2011) for these two markets, and reportedly controls over 50% of Pakistan's ATM market share against an installed base of 8,300+ ATMs across 35+ banking customers.
The company's technology stack combines distributed global hardware with proprietary and OEM software. Its banking software portfolio centers on the Diebold Nixdorf Vynamic Software Suite (Security, View, Engagement, Connection Points), supplemented by IPL-developed solutions including the award-winning iEngage ATM experience platform, IIS & EJ transaction logging, and Innomate. iEngage has won the P@SHA ICT Award in FinTech for three consecutive years (2023–2025) for features including contextual marketing, virtual teller capabilities, and smartphone integration. The software division was historically spun off as i2c Inc. in 2001, which now operates independently in Silicon Valley.
IPL operates with a sales-led, enterprise-direct GTM targeting banks and financial institutions, generating revenue through four streams: ATM hardware sales, currency technology hardware sales, software licensing (recurring), and round-the-clock service & support. The company employs 350+ staff across three offices (Lahore HQ, Karachi, Islamabad) and has won multiple Diebold Nixdorf awards including the 2025 Long Term Partnership Award, Best Performance Award 2024, and Extra Ordinary Growth Award 2022. IPL is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors.
