Loading ...Jawwad Ahmed Farid is a lot of things to a lot of people in the industry. Mentor, entrepreneur, an incredibly intelligent individual and someone who insists on walking through conferences in his trade-mark Hawaiian shirt and shorts! But the CEO of Alchemy Technologies is also an author of a book called Reboot, a must read for anyone who wants one of those ‘unput-downable’ books that actually tell an intelligent story. Consider it an autobiography or something ever entrepreneur can relate to, Reboot (previously titled ‘Blue Screen of Death’) gives you an insight into what Jawwad’s most troubling times were and more importantly, what his learnings were. Jehan Ara, President of P@SHA, grabs a rare interview with the author!

Salam Jawad Bhai!
Superb to see you and thank you Jehan Ara, Jawwad Bhai is my mentor he actually pushes me to read the “Fountain Head” when I met him in in Aleph Inc. and I think he said I have that “Entrepreneur Germs” inside of me.
Take Care,

Thank you Rabia. Mucho gracias.

It is still stuck at 29:08. My amazon customers will soon start complaining.
Alright… Let me have the file rendered and uploaded again to the new server in the morning..
Sorry Rabia. Still stopping at 29:08. Flushed the cache, restarted explorer and tried a couple of times. Same results. 29:08 the video just stops.
@DesiBackToDesh, Hey there… Try again?
Help Rabia, help. A full 48 hours later and we still can’t see all of me on national television.
Only 29:08 minutes of a 50 minute interview. One can only wonder what comes after.
I am facing similar issue. I was a bit hesitant to report because criticism is not very well here. So, I just kept quiet.
Yup 29:08 it is. Shuts off at 29:08.
@rabiagarib Now it is stopping at 29 minutes. I did refresh and dump the cache. Anyone else having the same problem?
@Jehan Ara, Replaced the video a little earlier – Please dump the cache and refresh the post? try now?
@rabiagarib this video is looping after the 26th minute. Can you please see what the problem is. Thanks.
