TIE Lahore is organizing TES 2007 in Lahore, and will be held 17th – 18th December 2007. After Lighting the Fire, now they hope to show you Legends and Leaders to keep the fuel burning.

The two-day summit will consist of a Gala Networking Dinner on the first day followed by a speaker-driven conference on day-two. Speakers will include a host of TIE event regulars, to quote their invitation letter:


Speakers this year will include legendary figures from Pakistan including Syed Babar Ali, Hussain Dawood, Mian Mansha, Dr. Salman Shah & dynamic young leaders like Saquib Shirazi & Ali J. Siddiqui; Kanwal Reikhi, Apurv Bagri, Suren G. Dutia, Arjun Malhotra, Dr. Akram Chowdry, Jauher Zaidi & Naeem Zafar from TiE Global; and eminent international venture capitalists Arif Naqvi of Abraaj Capital & Ayaz-ul Haque of ePlanet Ventures.

Take the speaker list with a grain of salt, however, because some of these speakers may cancel (or already have) at the last minute.

Also part of the summit will be the awards ceremony of the TiE Khudee Business Plan Competition. Tickets are about Rs.6000 (both days included) for non-TIE members and about Rs.4000 for TIE Members, and Rs.500 for Students. You can get a 50% discount by registering before December 10th.

For more details you can email sairas@lums.edu.pk

P.S. Thanks to Sidrat for pointing me to this.

  • TIE and PSEB took initiative for organizing business plan competition. Does anyone know of “any company” which emerged out of such competition?
    I am working with last year “TIE” business plan competition winners. However i seriously felt the team needed serious mentorning.

  • Heh,
    Hope we get some hidden people get on top of boiling TIE Tea cup.
    Still no news.

    Are you a teacher/advisor/consultant or concept implentor as in the case of NGOs? Role?

    I will be very happy to know whats common between.
    I am planning to start an Interuniversity platform where the first step would be to launch a common platform-independent print/non-print interactions. It has different phases. Its first phase is under the way and it has got good coverage in the universities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad.

    If you are connected to education sector then please contact me. Or i will be pleased to collaborate or to be in-touch with your contacts.

  • I think events like this provide good opportunity to get inspired and network. I take the point about last minute cancellations from the worthy speakers which can be disappointing. But to make the most follow the tips as below;

    1. Make sure you have your business cards handy.
    2. Practice how to introduce yourself and get to the point within 30 secs.
    3. Be polite and smile! it works.
    4. Show higher levels of interest.
    5. The succss in networking is in the follow up. So always follow your new contacts with interesting news and information.
    6. Invest in developing yourself especially with latest self-development techniques such as offered by ISEI UK, in the brain based development area. It pays back many times over!

    Good luck!

    Food Connection Pakistan

Being a typical Lahoriite, a die-hard food lover, it matters to me that I try the best food of the place I visit. So this is where FCPakistan came to my rescue. I simply logged in, typed in my desired specifications and got atleast 5 suggestions.

    The listing included their opening times, specific facilities like ease for physically disabled customers, credit card acceptance, smoking areas, take away facility, whether valet parking was available or not, and even directions to get there! What more could you want.

    OLX Pakistan Investing heavily in advertisement

    OLX is a global online retailer and auction site. They have an impressive footprint in a little less than 100 countries, each with their own specific domain (like .pk for Pakistan and .in for India).

    In Pakistan they have been operating under olx.com.pk for some time with people using it to sell things online.

    Recently they have started advertising heavily on Television, a medium seldom used by online businesses previously. The ads (two of which have appeared ) are witty and fun to watch.

    The most important factor of these adds is that they are being advertised on media which previously none of our online businesses have used.

    Second Pakistan Blog Awards by CIO Faces severe criticism

    CIO Pakistan started blog awards last year. Its is a good sign when some one takes initiative and starts some thing new. However its also difficult to introduce this into an already budding field of new media in Pakistan. Last years (or two years back now since its 2012)  Awards were initiated so as it is expected it faced initial growing up pains. It always takes time for such thing to wins the trust of the community. And bloggers are one of the most hard people to win over, most of these are rebels in their own rights people who have started blogging to show the world their opinion…

    Stay for the work not the perks

    This is a revelation that came to me when I recently quit my comfy corporate job for the second time. If you are below 40 and some one asks you about how is your job going and your answer is not in tune of “I like my job because I love the work”. 

    You need to pause and asses your career, last time I answered this question my answer was “I like the job, because the benefits are good”, and that made me think (offcourse there were other factors as well). But if you are doing a job in which to satisfy your own self you have to look at…
