Excellent article, Yasser. Indeed, startup incubators are all around the world and if government takes such a step – I am sure it will have a high success rate. Models like ‘Startup – Chile’ etc. can be mimicked or get inspiration from. TiE Pakistan and other organizations sometimes organize a session on entrepreneurship etc. and that is helpful because that raises awareness about startups – but next step is to actually conduct incubator programs, or startup in 7 days kind of programs etc. This will be followed by bringing VCs to Pakistan etc.

Anyway, its good to see an article in Dawn talking about something which is really needed in Pakistan (small businesses which can give a boost to economy) but only seldom talked about.

Partition happened. you are not going to get Pakistan back, because it never belonged to you, it belonged to the people who live here. Get over it

Pakistan is only 65 years old, a long time for me and you but not so for a nation! Give it a chance to shine and show its true colours! The best is yet to come inshallah..

Ragu, i work in US too, and have many Indian colleagues. Honestly, i think intellegence wise, or when compared with logical analysis, us Pakistanis are light years ahead of Indians. We just need better governance thats all.

I love the idea of “weekly dinners” being suggested by the author

Ramesh, we Pakistanis too love our brothers and sisters across the border. We need a “vision” for south asia, and that vision was layed out by his highness prophet Mohammed (PBUH) centuries ago. You’ll see the day is not far when the entire subcontinent will embrace Islam and we can all live in peace…
