Takes aways that mattered to me

27:15 “Pakistan is a lost market. Pakistan has terrible margins. Pakistan is a pain in the neck for Kareem, and Pakistan was a success story for Kareem.” Currently only education is the place where real value creation can happen. Where people can work in the “real” (global) economy. Basically IT; live in Pakistan and work via the internet in the world.

Those that have endurance and knowledge to endure the hard landscape have the potential to profit greatly if the “pain in the neck” (red tape; 1:11:20 sentiment of corruption) part of doing business gives way to a level landscape, FDI can come in and reverse the brain drain, and lead to rapid growth.

But that is IF (1:11:10) as the speaker said herself.
