      W.A.S. Yes, you can create Impact Radius account from any part of the world including Pakistan. Go to sign-up page and fill the form. On the Company Information section => Choose Pakistan your Country. When you provide phone number choose Pakistan from the dropdown list and then add your phone number without 0. It adds +92 in the beginning. It is better to create Impact Radius account on Google Chrome browser. From Mozilla Firefox it doesn’t send OTP code to your mobile.
