  • 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. :-)

    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!

    Business Incubation: False Hopes and Shattered Dreams…

    When a 19th century romantic French writer by the name of Victor Hugo said “Nothing is as powerful as an idea whose time has come” he obviously could not envision Pakistani bureaucracy. Not only can it reduce an idea to nothing more than its meager skeletal remains squirming in its own vile, it too often does.

    Home & Cars Expo 2012

    The past whole week I was really excited about going to the exhibition on 5th and 6th at expo center Lahore since the theme read “home expo and super car expo”. I was counting on seeing some innovative home solutions, fancy cars and a lot of appliances for both. As I entered the arena, an ear piercing heavy bike engine race greeted me. Oh wow nice, we have bikes here too… and lots of them, but let’s see if we have the actual products that are expected.

    First cars!! Honda Launched its new City Aspire at the event. This attracted a lot of young crowd who wanted to check it…

    Football. The most popular sport in the world. That may be hard to believe, we being a die-hard cricket nation, but there are many amongst us who get their blood pumping whenever our favorite team kicks some balls (pun intended).  There’s excitement in the air, and the airwaves for that matter, when Spanish rivals Real Madrid and Barcelona are about to have a face-off on the field. Manchester United or Chelsea? The answer could incite either jeers or cheers, depending on who you’re surrounded by. It feels like you belong to an exclusive club really, not to mention how convenient it is to…

    Another SHAM ICT Funding Project

    There are two main things that are currently causing out growth in ICT to stall. One is the lack of original ideas, so most of the entrepreneurs either copy what is already around internationally or locally (same ideas of online shopping, online bidding) we still have not hit the jackpot with someone creating some thing like instagram or drawsomething and being acquired by one of the big names.

    The second issue always lamented by entrepreneurs is lack of any funding sources in Pakistan. Over the years we have seen efforts being made to create funds which would help but what ended happening that most of these funds either did…

    8th Layer of Networking

    We all know about the 7 layers of the OSI model. This is the framework by which computer networks are defined. Starting with the physical layer, going through the transport layer and finally culminating in the application layer where end user applications reside. I believe that this should be redefined to include and additional layer – the Social Layer. From the current vantage point, the Social Layer lies right above the Application layer – hence it is served by the Application layer.

    The 90s witnessed a boom in what is now referred to as web 1.0. This consisted of static applications hosted over the web. Static applications meant that…

    Thiel Fellowship: right idea, wrong approach

    I wanted to discuss the Thiel Fellowship and sort of run the idea among our readership to figure out if it was justified or not. Bay Area hedge fund manager Peter Thiel started a Fellowship program in his name about a year ago trying to capitalize not on start ups, but the smart kids who may actually come up with the next billion dollar idea.

    Let there be no mistake. Innovation solves problems. Bankers, lawyers and hot shot executives are good for only one thing: managing an existing infrastructure. It is the innovators who turn existing ideas on to their heads and enable breakthroughs. Considering the point above, it…
