  • Look forward to meeting with you Sharjeel. Osama, do remember that Fahd Bangash of Amaana is also going to be at the Lahore event. We are trying to add the team from Five Rivers and some more entrepreneurs from Islamabad.

    I have put in a plea to Jawwad Farid on your behalf Hussain. I am sure he will try to be there. Let us keep our fingers crossed (or should that be crescented)?

  • “So lahoris – lets show Karachi there’s……….. ”

    I think point of view could have been delivered without writing these type racist statements keep in mind the current national situation.

    regards

  • Here is a request:

    We in Karachi are expecting to get the scoop of this session with a full-length video. No small-clips would do. :-)

  • This is really exciting news. Looking forward to this session (and the tea party ofcourse:))

    If any organizer knows exact starting time(sachi wala) please tell us coz I am highly willing to attend but I would have to say good bye to office soon.

    So Exact time?

  • Fahad – we start at 6p sharp

  • Osama,

    Just a comment about startup insider and barcamp. I don’t think the current model of startup-insider is like barcamp per se. In barcamp, there are parallel sessions on different technology related matters for example using SEO, writing facebook apps, using mashups, etc etc. It’s not a place to make your pitch (at least not officially – though people do do it discretely). Then there are coding marathons etc.

    Startup-insider is sort of like DEMO or Techcrunch40/tech crunch party. :)

    I personally think that we need more events like barcamp, more than demo/techcrunch40/techcrunch party, so that our people get exposure to different new technologies; entrepreneurship can always come later.

  • Can someone explain the location of Vahzay? I asked around 25 people but couldn’t find it somewhere. Google Maps helped a bit but not much. Please explain to me the path from Jail Road/ Mall Road or from this side if possible. Thanks.

  • I’ve seen it but didnt make much sense to me unfortunatly … may be I am a bit more dull in this regard ? :D Say I reached Liberty Round about (Came from Main Boulevard side) Now ? Liberty -> Turn Right -> An other Round About? then ?

  • Fahad. Coming from Main boulevard main market on your back side. Turn right from liberty round about Now you reach another round about which is just before Qaddafi gate you turn left on this road which is running Along stadium now you see a Street which has punjab text board displayed turn into this him this street first left gate is Vahzey 19A-1

  • OK Thanks.

  • thnks, i have new idea!

    Food Connection Pakistan

    I happened to be in Quetta on a business trip last month with no idea of where to dine alone. 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…

    With political scene in Pakistan heating up it provides very valuable information to party supporters and their leaders.  A quick look at it shows the all known facts that people in rural areas take their voting more seriously than all of us supposedly educated and enlightened urban population.

    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…
