    How intellectual Muzamil is, I'm just amazed. how did he manage to give every tough time to every guest (different mindset people, different pickups, different professionals)? (Muzamil you open my mind to so many things, I was so pessimistic, every time just think negatively... You give me hope to think wider, openly and do something that can impact positively)

    This was literally one of the best podcast episodes that I have heard. Fatima was fantastic, and Muzamil is a generous host, who thinks about his country with a passion that is not short of an economics PhD. Lovely episode!! Great work team. And love from an Indian South Asian, living outside of South Asia.

    Insights you shared about Airlift was something that always bugged me when I see ad or read anything relevant to Airlift. I always asked myself do we really need startups like these!!

    Pakistan can be a great nation if we fix the 'soch' and this podcast series needs to grow its needs attention from the mainstream industry. We need the right planning to raise the Gen Z right way.

    She's a perfect example for women in Pakistan, no age restrictions for doing another MBA, no money and position greed even after 15+ years of experience, no fear of sharing anything done wrong or thought about herself, and no worries of job security at any level of her worklife. A marvelous risk taker 🚀

    Loved every second of the conversation. From fatima's diverse experience to her settling and finding home. Regarding the last mile logistics bubble, its actually too early to jump to a conclusion. The VC's plunged money into India's zepto or pakistan's airlift after some detailed due dilligence and long-term sustainable business model with a positive unit economics. So there is certainly something that these founders have in mind to sustain in the long-term. The last 10-12 min of the conversation was really insightful where muzamil quite accurately gave an insight on the future of policy making and positions of power considering the self-directed and enormous growth of Pakistan's IT sector.

    Love the whole podcast. Fatima's passion for her work is amazing. I am in HR Field (early professional) and was just wondering 2 days back if I should try n work in Operations, and here today I got a great perspective n experience journey of Fatima!
    And Yes Muzammil, talk more about Pakistan. I feel now youth is being more accountable and caring towards the country than before. Lastly, when you said Textile suffered cz of dollar being artificially fixed, I think we are still giving our Textile sector subsidies (gas and other) and only then they are able to make such sales. They need to stand on their oen feet as it isn't infant industry anymore (Pakistan has textile for 70 years) and still we aren't able to compete well. We are importing from Bangladesh quite a lot. So textile sector needs to work n keep the game up and compete in world without gov support.

    I would like to add about acquisition of XYZ startup by Amazon, there's is an EXIT strategy to get out of the business when you feel your survival is getting difficult among other big fishes so you prefer to acquired by them this is what called as EXIT strategy. Most of the people decide it in early stage as their end consequence.
