This was, as someone said, history in the making at the dining room of Pixsense. Organized by Green & White and P@SHA, Karachi witnessed a first of its kind event with a healthy turnout of CEO's and those aspiring to become one. Startup insiders - 15 CEO's, 4 investors and 60+ attendees. Attending the event were both of us, Me and Mustafa. In a country like Pakistan, where people with resources and the right ideas sat together. The inititaive was great, and the discussions encouraging. It was a gathering of those who had shone and those who wanted to shine. All those success stories were very encouraging to hear, ideas and startup problems followed by expert opinion of those who had been through all these hurdles and problems. For students like me and for a fresh graduate like Mustafa, the event has opened up our mind a great deal! Bottom line: When it comes to I.T. in Pakistan, all it takes is the right idea, passion, Anger (as Jawwad of Alchemy Technologies said), and the appetite for risk (Faisal Qureshi) to be another success story!
