Jehan Ara has been talking to some very interesting people. And you know what’s great about the interviews? You can be anywhere in the world but you can hear about the positive work happening in Pakistan. Just a few years ago it was hard to stay in touch and figure out what everyone else in the small but growing tech space of Pakistan was doing. Now we have the right set of tools technologies and connectivity to spread the word and keep us connected.
Jehan Ara and team have proved that it is possible to inspire, even in difficult times like these. There’s an art to the interviews - finding interesting people, asking the right questions, making them comfortable and then allowing the interviewees to talk about their passion.
Such candid interviews present a picture of progress and accomplishments which is extremely important to share with the world. Sharing information and inspiration can result in unexpected side benefits as well. Moreover, these interviews have also connected people and some have resulted in business inquiries and joint venture opportunities.
In case you have missed some of the recent interviews, here are links to a few of the many:
- Azhar Rizvi - MITEF Pakistan, Tech Angels Network - Post, Interview
- Zafar Khan - Sofizar. Post, Interview
- Dr Arshad Ali - EECS - Post, Interview
- Farzal Dojki - Post, Video
- Asharaf Kapadia - Post, Interview
- Shahzad Shahid - Post, Video
What motivates you to do all this, I asked Jehan Ara.
I am just so excited by all the innovation and growth that is taking place in this industry and I want to talk about it. If I make my guests comfortable enough so that they share information about themselves, their struggles, their successes, what motivates them, then I have been successful. I strive to ensure that their voices are heard.
