A 2-part special, Jehan Ara, President of P@SHA, caught hold of Dr. Umar Saif on his recent trip to Karachi and got him to talk about “What makes an entrepreneur successful in Pakistan”. We split this hour-long discussion into two parts (and we’ll link both parts in the posts when the second part goes this Friday) – If you are any of the following: a wanna-be entrepreneur, a wanna-be investor, a struggling entrepreneur or a struggling investor, you WANT to… no no… you NEED to watch this!

after going through video and really inspiring lecture by Dr.Saif one thing i came to know that we are lacking environment and direction and have no competitiveness. whereas in other developed countries have envirnment and tough competion and have number of direction.
we have become followers not tourch bearers.
Really great stuff..
Gud presentation by Dr. Umair Saif.
@naseem, Hmmm… Naseem? I just checked the video again and it seems to actually buffer very quickly and I run a VERY slow connection… Possible for you to check other videos on other sites and see if you are still having the same problem? Possible for anyone else to test and check the video?
Hi Naseem – Strange – I thought we had resolved all such issues.. Let me have it looked into again! Thanks for the comment..
Video of “Line Of Wire (Dr. Umer Saif)” is very very slow and video starts buffering after every 2-3 seconds.
Plz note that I am using DSL , so there is no problem of connection speed.
India’s biggest IT companies now employ more than 150,000 employees. TCS revenue for 2009 is $6 Billion. As I have always said, we cannot compete in services with these guys.
Great stuff. Dr Umair Saif has presented the formula really well. Five star! I like his take on the numbers.
According to Paul Arden, ‘Our biggest security in life is taking risk.’
