Watched it all yesterday, such a good interview. She is also such a intelligent person. I agree with them, look at the amount of unicorn companies between us and our eastern neighbour. However there’s a huge boom in startups and IT due to IK, let’s hope for the best for the future…. I can see a huge influx in unicorn companies in Pakistan.

Thanks for sharing this. Hopefully this side of the business community will convince the powers that be for the need for a stable government and good governance.

Just like she said, the last ten minutes should be clipped and shared as reason for people to be hopeful for the future despite the present political turmoil.

this is another good podcast muzamil recently posted. The interesting thing is, tabil hashmi’s parents migrated quite late to Pakistan; in 1984 from India, which was very surprising. Another thing I noticed is he said, when he was younger, him and his maternal side (who all live in India), used to always argue over Pakistan vs india etc, but in the last 6-7 years they have stopped and become more on the line with Pakistan. I’ll rather ask a Indian muslim on the forum, is this just his family or is this becoming more common, and is it because of the recent violence against Muslims?
