Products VS Services | A Highly Debated Topic in the IT Industry
In this compelling episode, join Syed Ahmad as he explores one of Pakistan's most pressing tech debates: IT Services vs. Product Development. With many companies diving into product creation, Syed addresses a critical gap - the lack of a professional foundation essential for creating successful products. He explains why IT services play a pivotal role in building a country’s expertise and how focusing on services could unlock massive potential for Pakistan's IT exports.

    Very good suggestions. But it's not like the government is not performing well because of lack of ideas. They have chosen to do so to maintain the status quo. And perhaps they want the educated class to leave Pakistan so that they can loot and corrupt freely without any opposition from those who can think freely and have the capability to express themselves.

    I randomly opened this video and thought I had seen the host somewhere before. Then, after seeing his name on the channel, I remembered that the DPL CEO had interviewed me for a management position. During the interview, it became clear that he wasn't sure what the position actually entailed and ended up diverting the conversation to a different topic. Later, I received a call from HR informing me that I was not shortlisted, even though I had cleared the technical interview. This happened about a year ago, and since then, they are still searching for that position. From time to time, I see the position advertised on LinkedIn. DPL is a Sethia company.

    We are living in a country where connections matter more than talent, and the education system is failing us with outdated syllabuses that are 20 to 25 years old. However, for those with the courage to pursue freelancing, there are significant opportunities to achieve milestones and attain financial independence, recognizing the true value of their skills.

    @⁨Syed Ahmed⁩ Practically everything you said about the games industry is without context and false. It could damage business. Legal precedence behind game design copyright is not established anywhere in the world. It's a norm of the international game industry. The context of the Google strike down notices was not what you believe. I'm surprised that you could so casually talk about an industry about which you have so little knowledge. It is damaging and irresponsible. Do you know whether the industry declined after the notices? Do you know what % of IT we represent? Do you know how deeply Google is integrated in the system?
