Malik Riaz Hussain

Former Chairman
Bahria Town

Malik Riaz is a name who has come up really well. Entrepreneurship has itself found new meanings in
the personality of Malik Riaz Hussain.
He attributes his success to his hard work and faith in Allah. He recalls his friend who gave him money
for investment and advised him to set aside 2.5% from the profit and to disburse the amount as charity.
He adhered to that and believes that one cannot imagine how much he gets in return by giving in Allahs
name.

Malik Riazs Vision and the determinants of Bahria Towns Success:

Malik Riazs brainchild: Bahria Town has come up well, in fact very well. His vision of Quality Living for
all has translated into one of the countrys largest housing schemes. Bahria Town stands for:
- Commitment
- Dedication
- Top of the line services
It's easy to forget about political assassinations, fears of loose nukes and the specter of Islamic militancy
from a bench in Hill Park. Nestled in an idyllic neighborhood where children play in the streets and
homeowners stroll to the local health club or mini-mart, the park and its manicured grass overlook a
sliver of a vast gated residential development of the sort you might see in southern California. But the
area, named Bahria Town, is located just outside Islamabad. At 45,000 square acres it is, according to
splashy international ads, the largest private development in Asia, and despite Pakistan's well-publicized
political and security problems, people are signing deals for six-figure houses, condos and apartments
faster than they can be built. "These are changing times for Pakistan," says Salman Ahmed Khan, the
development's director of marketing and operations, whose main job is to court prospective buyers
away from Dubai and to Bahria Town. "Pakistanis are traveling, they're seeing nice things abroad and we
want to provide that for them at home."
This unlikely playground for wealthy Muslims is the vision of Khan's boss and father-in-law, Malik Riaz
Hussain, a 59-year-old billionaire Pakistani contractor. Set between the capital Islamabad and its sister
city Rawalpindi, Bahria Town is the "masterpiece" of his 40-year career, a $6 billion project he has
funded solo to avoid having to deal with outside investors. The nine phases: too vast to fully appreciate
without standing on one of the plateaus that overlook them, will one day mesh together into a planned
residential city for 1 million people. The project broke ground in 1996, and already, many of the 50,000
luxury properties in the development are owned by wealthy Pakistan expatriates who swooped into
Bahria Town after 9/11 to buy second homes amid fears they would be driven out of places like London,
New York and Los Angeles. Equally important was the security and serenity that Bahria Town provides,
which drew Pakistan expats and a smattering of wealthy Arab Muslims away from places like Dubai.

THE HOSPITAL
Over the past decade, Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research
Centre has established itself as a centre of excellence providing comprehensive care free of cost to
thousands of indigent cancer patients. This pioneering, state-of-the-art hospital located in the heart of
the Punjab was founded by Imran Khan, one of Pakistan's most illustrious cricketers. As a charitable
institute, it is funded predominantly from the donations of friends and well-wishers from around the
country and across the world.

IMRAN KHAN

ARCHIVES
The inspiration to build the
Hospital came from the misfortune
and suffering of one individual,
Shaukat Khanum, the mother of
legendary captain of Pakistan's
World Cupwinning cricket team,
Imran Khan.

Since opening in 1994, the Shaukat Khanum

Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Centre,
has come to be recognized as one of the most
credible and resilient charities in Pakistan.

SIDRA IQBAL:
Current position: Noted Pakistani journalist, TV
anchor and a motivational speaker
Age: 35

She is among the most celebrated youth icon of

Pakistan and is renowned for her efforts in the
youth activism for which her main concerns are the
development of the youth and women
entrepreneurship along with the television media.
Sidra has achieved in her 26 years what for most would take a lifetime: she is the MD of her company
which takes out newsletters for multinationals, a development activist, youth ambassador, brand
consultant and an anchorperson. The list goes on.
So how did all this happen is the inevitable question. She meanders down memory lane explaining that
her forte was debate competitions in school and college. During one of the competitions she got her big
break. In 1999 the English Speaking Union invited me to take part in a debate in the UK where students
from other countries were also participating. I won the first prize at the age of 15 and I came under the
spotlight as the BBC and other media were present. During those academic years I represented Pakistan

in many international programmes.

Sidra went on to do her MBA and joined an advertising agency as a strategy executive. When the agency
launched a TV channel, she was asked to host a breakfast show in 2005. I realised the power media has
as the 2004 devastating earthquake had taken place at the time. I learnt through hands-on experience,
writing reports and working late hours. She then ventured into the corporate area by hosting a
programme for PTV that featured corporate heads as guests.

writing reports and working late hours. She then ventured into the corporate area by hosting a
programme for PTV that featured corporate heads as guests.

Through the years Sidra has come to realise that her viewers are young people and she
feels the need to empower them through the media. Young people are very energetic and have raw
energy which turns to anger if there is no proper outlet, so I tap into those feelings and get a good
response.
I also began my own PR company recently as I am a media marketing person and focus on ideas and
implement them, and though I am a regular on television, I realised I had to work for myself too. She
says it works for corporates as they know that I know my job well so I get a lot of work.
Sidra was given the title of Youth Ambassador by the Government of Pakistan after the
English Speaking Union success. The media would use this title for her whenever she went abroad for
programmes. Later, she became the health ambassador for a brand of tea because of her gift of the gab,
as thiamine which helps in speaking clearly is one of the ingredients used by the company.
With so many achievements, men must surely be intimidated by her I ask. In a way they are, she admits

matter of factly especially those who are interested in marriage. But I believe things will happen when
the time is right. Marriage for marriage.s sake is not on my agenda. My greatest asset which is also my
weakness is that I am very optimistic.
Sidra has two sisters seven and eight years younger who see her as a role model. I regard them as my
first-borns. They are fiercely independent, confident and blunt because they have been brought up in
more liberal times. I am more careful and tend to give space to others.
As an anchor person there are certain topics that Sidra chooses to work in, economic and socio-political
issues being closest to her heart. She loves to indulge in conversations on international scenarios. We as
a nation like to talk about our past events and do not look into the international scenario. My task is
alleviating challenges that are home-grown.
Has she ever considered acting? I would like to restrict myself to anchoring as acting would put me in an
awkward situation. In five years time she still sees herself in Pakistan and empowering people through
media, writing a book on what she has accomplished in life.
Being a woman in the visual media has never created problems for Sidra. I can,t be pushed around, I
don t allow myself to be pushed around, you have to do this is not for me there are ways of handling
situations.

Sidra says she has never used a script in her life, I speak impromptu. I
do research beforehand so I know my topic and therefore there is no need for a script. And to be
a successful host one has to have a passion for the subject. You should steer the conversation and not
get out what you want from the people. An anchor should never be opinionated.
Her message to people who want to enter the field? For young people they should relax a bit. We are
always telling them to do something yet at the same time when they are ambitious, people feel they are
being greedy. But I feel ambition is good to achieve something in life rather than be an ordinary person,
so young people should go for a good life and pursue it with a vengeance.

Sultana Siddiqui, the president of Hum TV, more popularly known

as Sultana Apa in Pakistani entertainment industry is returning back after eleven years.
She is returning back for her director business. She is just coming to fulfil her promise
that she made with Umera Ahmad. Umera Ahmad wanted that Sultana Siddiqui would
direct her play.
Now Sultana Siddiqui is coming to direct Umera Ahmads play that is based on a novel
by umaira ahmed titled Zindagi Gulzar Hai.

In this play Pakistans most desirable Fawad Khan will play lead role and Sanam Saeed
will play female role who is famous for her work in Mataa-e-Jaan Hai Tu.
The story is about an ordinary, middle class girl who struggles hard to succeed in life.
She gets educated in hard conditions.

we humans dont thank God enough for His limitless blessings. We have highlighted this
in the play, for this is a reality we need to project.
via The Express Tribune
Sultana Siddiqui compared PTV and Hum TV with current times and performances. She
said that time has changed in 11 years. Today artists are very busy. They have no time.
No rehearsals have seemed like it used to take place in the good old days of PTV.

AGHA WAQAR:

If you thought Agha Waqar and his amazing water car was a big deal then this story about
a young Pakistani entrepreneur will inspire you. A 32 year old Pakistani doctor from Faisalabad
has managed to build a business empire worth 90 crores in a matter of only 2 years. What is even
more amazing is the fact that instead of working for a business where he could learn from
experience he had a government job (in the health ministry first and then FIA) at the time his
rags to riches story began (he is truly gifted).
Being a doctor by education, the young entrepreneur was never afraid of trying new ideas and started
business as a small time petrol dealer (in Quetta). Unlike Gates and Jobs our entrepreneur began with
virtually zero investment and was even forced to use his fathers official residence to run his business
initially. This apparent disadvantage would later prove to be a blessing in disguise. Using his God given
talents and following the advise of his father (which was easier to seek because the house was also his
office) he was able to quickly secure contracts from major real estate and telecom companies. His
current business empire is all real estate and telecom, employing an army of 400 personal and the
income he used to generate from his petrol dealership must seem like peanuts now. Just 2 years back,
our young entrepreneur was so cash-starved that he had to get a subsidized official passport issued in
his name and now his lifestyle of luxury cars (BMWs, Range Rovers, etc.), gambling dens (Monte Carlo)
and parties would even make Mansha blush.

This success story would not be complete without shedding some more light on the young
entrepreneurs father for I am sure, if asked, the Pakistani entrepreneur would attribute most of his
success to him. Although a poor government servant (the son of a former police sub-inspector and
someone who does not have any property and cannot even afford to buy a house today), the father
has a world of understanding about Pakistani society. He has always been supportive of his son, one
such example being that when the son could not afford to pay for his second marriage the father got a
house loan to finance the ceremony. As is often the case, this success story too had its share of hurdles
and similarly, when the son was in legal trouble, the father got personally involved, helping in getting
the cases settled.
The father is a wise man indeed and probably the key to the young doctors success guiding him each
step of the way. The son always takes his advise constructively and the saying like father, like son truly
applies to these two as they are virtually inseparable and even when they cannot be together the father
always tries to guide his son. This combination of wisdom of the father and the genius of the son has
resulted in one of the greatest success stories of modern times. Through perseverance and following the
advise of his father the young entrepreneur has always managed to emerge vindicated. It is almost as if,
the doctor is a super hero and after each battle he absorbs the the aggressors powers coming out even
stronger by winning bigger contracts and making more money.
Never has a entrepreneur been subject to such harsh criticism and his business thrived. Pakistan is truly
a land of opportunities and we must salute such heroes, who through their God given talents and
fatherly love can single-handedly change her destiny.

JACK DORSERY:
Early Life

Inventor of Twitter Jack Dorsey was born in St. Louis, Missouri, on

November 19, 1976. Growing up in St. Louis, Dorsey became interested in computers and
communications at an early age and began programming while still a student at Bishop DuBourg High
School. He was fascinated by the technological challenge of coordinating taxi drivers, delivery vans and
other fleets of vehicles that needed to remain in constant, real-time communication with one another.
When he was 15, Dorsey wrote dispatch software that is still used by some taxicab companies today.

jack Dorsey is an American businessman best known as the founder of the social networking
site twitter. After a brief stint at the Missouri University of Science and Technology, Dorsey
transferred to New York University. In the tradition of computer science entrepreneurs such as
Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg, he dropped out of college before receiving his
degree. Instead, Dorsey moved to Oakland, California, and in 2000 started a company offering
his dispatch software through the Web. Shortly after starting his company, Dorsey came up with
the idea for a site that would combine the broad reach of dispatch software with the ease of
instant messaging.

Twitter was initially derided by some as a tool for the shallow and self-centered to broadcast the
minutiae of their lives to the universe. Late-night comedy host Conan O'Brien even featured a
segment called "Twitter Tracker" that mocked users of the service. In its early days, the site also
suffered from frequent service outages. But as celebrities and CEOs alike began tweeting,
Twitter was no longer the brunt of so many jokes. Suddenly the head of the "microblogging"
movement, Twitter became a powerful platform for U.S. Presidential candidates Barack Obama
and John McCain in 2008, as a method for updating their supporters while on the campaign trail.

WHATSAPP co ,FOUNDER:

hatsApp, which was freshlyacquired by Facebook for $16 billion, is #winning this week. But the
app's success did not come at a small price. Founders Jan Koum and Brian Acton are no
strangers to failure, and their incredible journey speaks volumes about the value of tenacity and
vision. Today, Jan and Brian's app is now the most valuable messaging platform on the planet,
but they have had their fair share of rejection by top tech companies, including the one that
eventually bought their service.

Their no-nonsense commitment to keeping WhatsApp free of advertising and respecting users'
privacy is what drew millions of users to the app when it launched in 2009. Two recent
interviewsone with Wired UK and another with Forbesdig deep into the founders'
backgrounds, revealing an incredible rise-and-fall tale of winning, losing, and winning again. If
you didn't believe in the worth of "try and try again" before, read on to uncover the amazing
story of this remarkable tech duo. It's a tale for anyone who has ever experienced failure.

TALMON MARCO: viber founder

Viber was initially launched for iPhone on December 2, 2010, in direct competition with Skype. A prerelease version for Android appeared in May 2011 but was restricted to 50,000 users; an unrestricted
version was released on July 19, 2012. Viber for BlackBerry and Windows Phone devices was launched
on May 8, 2012. On reaching 90 million users on July 24, 2012, group messaging service and HD Voice
engine were added to both Android and iPhone applications. Applications for Nokia's Series 40,
Symbian and Samsung's Bada platform were also announced on the same day. Initially, the voice calling
feature was only available for iPhone and Android applications, with a promise that voice would be
added in upcoming versions for Bada, Symbian and Windows Phone applications, with no mention of
either Series 40 or Blackberry OS. The limitation seems to lie in core of Blackberry OS and Series
40 which does not have easy support for VoIP apps. As promised, on September 22, 2012, HD quality
phone calls and hold group-messaging sessions were made available for Windows phone but only
for Nokia users.

MARK ZUCKERBERG:

Mark Elliot Zuckerberg was born on May 14, 1984, in White Plains, New York, into a
comfortable, well-educated family, and raised in the nearby village of Dobbs Ferry. His father,
Edward Zuckerberg, ran a dental practice attached to the family's home. His mother, Karen,
worked as a psychiatrist before the birth of the couple's four childrenMark, Randi, Donna and
Arielle.

Zuckerberg developed an interest in computers at an early age; when he was about 12, he used
Atari BASIC to create a messaging program he named "Zucknet." His father used the program in
his dental office, so that the receptionist could inform him of a new patient without yelling across
the room. The family also used Zucknet to communicate within the house. Together with his
friends, he also created computer games just for fun. "I had a bunch of friends who were artists,"
he said. "They'd come over, draw stuff, and I'd build a game out of it."
Mark Zuckerberg is co-founder and CEO of the social-networking website Facebook, as well as one of

the world's youngest billionaires In 2005, Zuckerberg's enterprise received a huge boost from the

venture capital firm Accel Partners. Accel invested $12.7 million into the network, which at the
time was open only to ivy league students. Zuckerberg's company then granted access to other
colleges, high school and international schools, pushing the site's membership to more than 5.5
million users by December 2005. The site then began attracting the interest of other companies,
who wanted to advertize with the popular social hub.
