Massive respect to you for inviting such guest! Its a blessing
Awais is known to me since 2016-17, one of the most industrious, humbled and focused individuals. Stay Blessed and Happy.
Owais ny kis field mae degree ki
Really inspiring podcast! keep up the great work
Dear Muzammil,
This is your all times best.
Looking forward seeing more of them.
Amazing podcast and very much inspirational
Really insightful podcast.
loved hearing Awais
And yes, I watched every bit and byte of this podcast.
No actual discussion regarding "Why startup fail"
It's Just a success story of guy.
My take:
No problem validation
No business model
Too many Hypothesis
No In-house development team
Not a strong Founding team
New wave of technology
Global Pandemics
These are my Top 7 I think
Nice to hear Awais, so cool and humble who explained his trajectory from scratch without any shame. Vocal and down to the earth. Hope to see such stuff in future. Thanks to Mumzamil as well for identifying and bringing to us such breed.
I cannot explain it...This podcast such a big masterpiece for me... Thankx for making it....
Great listen!
Keep Producing Good Content like this Muzamil. Respect from Germany.
This was an absolute joy. I think there are some un-opened tangents that can lead to a second episode. I have one suggestion, can you add a question in the end to ask the guests about their preferred channel to reach them.
great to see, that there are people out there working for a better knowlege economy of pakistan, kuddos to muzammil and awais for taking out time for us, and providing us with the insights
I couldn't imagine you can bring these guys up here in Pakistan.
It's totally premium. Man love it.
Great
Good
May our entrepreneur find useful ways n boost our economy

Assalam o Alaikum,
Very good session, i have an idea regarding Live Stock and did some background work so i need mentorship & guidance. How can i contact you and your guest. thanks & jazakAllah.
nice
Great podcast. A lot lessons to learn. One comment on the tremors. Essential tremors effects elderly and there is not much treatment available. On the other hand Parkinson’s disease can happen at younger age , famous boxer Mohammad Ali suffered from it . Both these conditions causes tremors.
Kis field mae degree thee en ki
Dear Business Executives,
That's what I see you both as so.
I am up for building that platform for Investors and a launchpad for guys like you.
I am available all out.
Jitni 2no bhai ne English boli hy itni urdu bhi bool lete to kafi faida ho jata hmara
wow bhai kya bat hAI..
Around the early-mid podcast, some details felt too vague to really be able to grasp the depth of Awais' story and how things evolved, i love when the guests give some more personal insight, lovely and inspiring conversation nonetheless!
As per Awais Pakistan should make a Product like Microsoft and Apple, But all these need R&D and money, and look at our budget allocation first.
Not only budget and environment, Pakistan should improve data security laws also.
Pakistan should implement data security laws similar to GDPR. Despite our efforts to develop superior products, foreign people are hesitant to share data with us. The recent widespread leakage of political audio and videos exemplifies Pakistan's significant data security challenges.
came here expecting him to mention Sir Maajid Maqbool, wasnt disappointed😀
95% of startups fail because the level of grift in Pakistani startup industry is just mind boggling believe me as I have worked in two of them.one of the reason is cause we are ranked 140/140 education quality, so we are basically donkeys and this manifests in weird ways such as basic analytic and management skills are missing among founders. Basically low quality founders.
can u please name
It's true we r donkey
