I was one of the ICT R&D graduates, graduated in 2016 as a software engineer. I have worked with San Francisco based companies and now working for a Danish company as a Software engineer. Just want to put this out that scholarships especially for remote areas helped us reach this stage. Also was part of DPLIT as well, so thank you Syed Ahmad for giving me such an exposure to reach this stage.
there is this biggest IT corporate here in india named TCS valued over $200B just recently achieved this historical feat
so thats tells us how big IT is
Happy to hear that pakistan is going forward in IT field.
Bro ,yahan🇮🇳 me to har jagah IT , IT hi ho rha hai , main khud har cheez online managata hu , UAE me Etisalat telecom service provider ki har call India me aati hai , Pakistani log naam sunke ki hairan ho jaate hai or khte hai ki India me call kaise lag gyi .yahan tak ki Ghar me chicken khaana hota hai to ( licious) se order Kar deta Hu .
Bro this is not new for pakistan also. We have food panda and many local online food delivering companies. The problem is the same, i wont expect people from the poorest class in india and pakistan to be availing these services
@@XtremeFun no , even poor avail these services , take me for example 😀, and Rohit chaddha is one of the founder of food panda ,he is from India 🙏
If they can't even introduce PayPal in Pakistan then what's the point. As a freelancer, it's a huge pain in butt.
Bhai it's not that easy , FATF is on our ass to kick , a lot of other money laundering issues and banking system faults which abstain companies like Paypal to operate in Pak. However this govt. is really trying hard to solve these issues . Lets hope for the best!
Ek India IT company TCS=$165 dollar
Entire Pakistan stock market =$ 80 dollar. India or Pakistan se comparison hi nahi banta hai.
Billion kon lagaega hutiye
@@aryanhassan4659 Tu laga le waise bhi tum log bheek mangte rahete ho billions $ from Qatar UAE China IMF WB 😂
@Sanchit chu
No one is comparing. We are just taking India as our inspiration.
@@arsalnaeem123 think bigger... take usa and china as your inspiration
Randomly came across your channel. This was exactly what I always thought i would do if I was ever on youtube. Except, you are doing it a thousand times better. Keep up the good work. Extremely informative! Can't believe, more people aren't watching you.
What an honest, straight forward guest!
This episode is worthy of million dollar 💵 applause 👏. Thank you for inviting such a great and expert of the topic.
very insightful discussion and thank you Syed Ahmad sahib for a valuable time, tell us where we are lacking.
Thank You so much Muzamil Bhai, for doing this for our generation. May Allah Pak Bless You, Ameen
Kya baat hai sir, har show ek se barh kar ek.
Thank u very much for serving the nation like that. Awesome shows!!
indians fizool english bol rahe hai aur pakistani angrezo ki aulaad hai .wah bhai wah . jab tak india se jalna nahi band karonge , tab tak uhi kudte raho , kuch nahi hona pakistan ka .india it industry is about 170 billion dollars.
He is not talking about English grammar he is talking about understandable accent 🙂
@@abdullahgoraya1383 pakistanis can't even speak decent english. Let's not even get to the accent. Heard your cricketers speak English any time?
If only Pakistan was so good with its english, why does india export 156 billion dollars worth IT services each year, while Pakistan struggled to even reach a billon dollar?
@@abdullahgoraya1383 well tumahara same hi accent hain ,Western logo se puch lo
I've recently started to listen to your podcast and I'm in absolute love with your work.
Excellent learning material 💕
Bro... this is education at the next level. A practical overview for people that want to do something big within the unique market dynamics of Pakistan.
Couldn't understand it in University...
thanks for inviting such experts who gives basic guidance and authentic information to the public. you are doing a great job. Good luck
Very interesting! Learnt a lot about the status of IT here in Pakistan. Thankyou! Yours is one of the few podcasts that touches upon such a variety of subjects.
Thank you so much sir!
Great conversation. We need to do more to achieve Pakistan's IT goals.
Informative podcast. Muzamil you're doing a great job. More power to you.
Thanks for listening
This is really rebuilding thoughts for me
Keep doing your finest work
I can relate to so many things/problems stated by Syed Ahmad. Excellent vlog.
muzamil bhai hr new episode ka betabi say intezar rehta hai ,buhat acha kam kr rhy hen ap jazakAllah
While Pakistan is targeting 10 Billion IT industry in next 5 years, India is already at 180 Billion dollars (2019).
India population is 1.4 billion and pakistan population is 220 million 😁
@@qasimshah6308 i dont think population matter much into it, labour does play an imporant role for labour intensive sectors like Infrastructure but IT need a quality educational infrastructure with a good aptitude from students. Bangladesh has 16 cr population but has 1 billion IT industry.
What India help is..
1. Intense Competition (look JEE exam)
2.Logical aptitude of students
3.Boom after Indians solved Y2K issues for world
4.Education curriculum
5. Premier institutes(Believe me I have seen IIT’s, Students there are hungry to learn)
6. Government Support(Make in india, digital india, scholarship, research grants)
What I think Pakistan can do is reap the benefit of demographic dividend and open the avenue for IT, It need government aggressive support(connecting world market, changing Pakistan image,spending on education and design a focused curriculum like india did with NEP2020)
Its sad that pakistan is missing out such a big market like India in their neighbourhood which has ample of opportunities, I have seen africans, germans ,swedish even Bangladeshi’s taking placements in google and other big tech from studying in IIT’s .
If relation improves both countries has opportunites but pakistan has alot to take.
@@qasimshah6308 so by population ratio pakistan must have 30 billion dollar but you only have 2 billion dollar of IT services
@@qasimshah6308 still doesnt negate the fact that indias education infrastructure is still ten times better than pakistans. people from all around the world are going to india to learn and find opportunities there. i feel like were distracted by stuff that we shouldnt even worry about.
Bhai. It's a good thing that IT industry is coming up in Pakistan. Let's not make is a matter of comparison with India.
there are over 70 unicorns in india it'll soon cross 100 in a year
Always worth watching❤❤
Great overview of Pak it industry
It was learning episode for me
Thank you Muzmail your doing great 👍
Thank you so much sir!
I would like you to do a podcast specifically on the topic of a startup.
I am a medical teacher same is the case there, new generation is not that hardworking and very low quality doctors are being produced because we have killed merit and only those who can afford they become doctors no matter they have aptitude or not, that is alarming for us as a nation.
Great podcast. Muzamil you are doing great.
Few days back I request for this kind of video, finally it is here, great work mate.
Hope you enjoyed it!
@@TBTGO absolutely, specially series with Ali ilyas is spot on.
Very good conversation
AL NAFI is gonna solve all these problems.INSHALLLAH
Its a useful discussion. I hope aise hi humari nation lgi rhe aur hum aise hi aaga barhe ge.
Muzamil Thank you so much for such informative content :)
We need really revise our education system specially the soft skills portion.
Sir very informative podcasts MASHALLAH
Thankyou for liking
good work
I wanna share 2 min part from this video on fb can i?
i will give you credit
Wah zaidi Bhai, looking fresh and happy Masha Allah. Playing "Junaid Akram" in a corporate manner........ "Hai naa??" 😂😇 kidding!!
Bro you are doing just good work! no great work just keep it up bro🥰🥰 I like it you are rasing real Issues of Pakistan
Good discussion. But a Pakistani lecturing us on English? 👍
When ??
28:27 Jealousy at its peak 👍😂 That's why Pakistan is always will remain Pakistan 😂😂
Very informative
Glad you liked it
muzamil your black jacket kis brand ke ha?
Digital pakistan is cheap copy of digital india...anyways good luck.
Learn from India... Especially south Indian education system
They should invite DAV back to Pakistan to manage their education system. DAV was founded in Lahore in the first place.
Let me advice you something relevant,
You don't know how much you don't know until you make it happen
You guys often talk as if you're a young industry, you are not. You will forever be stuck if your leaders don't try new things until it works
Worth watching channel
Thank you so much! It means a lot.
Very well covered and quite insightful, Thankyou for this one.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Muzamil Hassan Please Talk with Dr Umar Saif its former Chairmand of PITB youngest Phd Holder of pakistan and Former ITU vice chancellor
What a man he is.. He would be a much better choice on this topic.
He said freelancing is just fine. On the other hand he said we don't have proper skill-holders. So I think freelancing is like a playground where one can learn, and in fact, it should be taken as best form of internship.
Teach our youth on freelancing on fiver,elance etc and we can earn millions online for our economy. We also need to set up IT training centres across Pakistan
Muzamil Hasan new look suits on you
addicted to podcasts 😍
nice
very very good
Soft skills. It's like really fundamental and sadly we are not even trying to build some work ethics.
Like there is a culture of not delivering the complete product in software industry so that we have "continuous" source of income. Also the people who have highest GPAs can't write a proper email. They don't know about body language. They are sadly tamed horses.
We have courses on soft skills but we are taking those just for passing it.
If the government listened to Mohammad Faisal , CEO of AL NAFI, Pakistan would have been in a better position right now. its sad how the govt itself doesnt want to see the linear growth:/
Even the large industries in Pakistan are nowhere near $1 billion valuation!
So forget about Startup Unicorns!
Startup’s in Pakistan are struggling to hit $1 million valuation!
"Hamza" and "Husna" kesay rahaingay? Acronym bhi ho jaeyga aur individual meanings bhi hain, Can't elaborate more for obvious reasons😁😊 not suggesting anything, just wanted you to reach the epiphany that how keenly I kept a piece of information, shared a few videos back. Lots of prays.
Ah! the same Pakistani hollow bravado and hot air 🤣🤣🤣 Very talented and they speak very good English but even on July 18, 2022 they are less than USD 2.5 billion in IT exports. Mr. Ahmad seems to be totally oblivious to India's global success in the IT industry and the level of work being done out of India. This ho-hum attitude is what has made Pakistan a global beggar which is begging and pleading IMF for a billion dollars. And as of today that USD 10 billion is just a pipe dream for Pakistan. Grow up!
Favorite topic of mine, covered comprehensively. APPRECIATED...!
Awesome, thank you!
👍👍
❤❤✔
do manage to bring DR UMAR SAIF on your podcast
Pakistan sirf dumba ( Donkey) bana sakta hai Unicorn toh bhool jao 😂
Call someone from the Finance Sector for students studying Business, Accounting, Economics etc
demanding same....
Does Pakistan also have IT sector
He said pakisthan ki english india se acchi hai 😂😂😂
Security for a govt website!!
Well the HEC website crashes if like some people visit it. I personally experience in the Prime Minister laptop scheme time.
I haven’t heard abt freelancing in India as much in Pakistan.

Thank GOD k degree culture se ittifaaq na kerne walay loag achchi post per mawjood hain. Underprivileged k liye chance tou banayga, ya jinko result aanay k baad hosh aata Hai, unka bhi chance ban jata hai iss Tarah, talent based hiring kerne per 😂

@@parmeshwaruranw2816 I am talking about Pakistan lol
@@prasannabhat8631 sorry
After 1 year pakisthan has still not any unicorn and india has only in this year 33 unicorn ...
8 lakh Badi position... Dude seriously
IT has no scope in Pakistan almost engineers and tech related people are jobless.
Notice that Mr Syed AHmed looks like Emran Hashmi??? :D
Pakistani mentality.
@@harisahmed8284 jani mene negative sense me blkul b nhi kaha. Ap logo na emran hashmi ko negative sense me lia hua ha. Pakistani mentality

Why don't we speak pure Urdu or English. I have seen this in Pakistan people tried to express themselves in English even they're not comfortable. Please speak Urdu as much as you can and don't get into English complex.
Ban madarsa education ...
lol pakistani have better english
Indian LOL
@@sherazmalik2179
Compare IT industry of both countries
@@anshuraj4277 India is known for producing scammers. There are dedicated YT channels where Indian scammers are destroyed by real hackers LOL
@@sherazmalik2179
Don't know...don't care
Indian IT export is 200 Billion dollars
That's what matters
Money is all that matters in International trade
