Connect2pk

Initially a team of four and a final year project, these students turned professionals have translated their idea and executed it with mere excellence. Studied from NU-FAST, these students had pitched the idea of creating a computer phone and alas a year after graduation, they continued it they have made it and going national with their idea.

“Connect2pk” is a user friendly application which enables the user to talk to anyone internationally at the cost of local calls. All you have to do is download their software and get registered and wallaaah… The interface is like a mobile phone on which you can dial any number and talk to another person on his/her landline or mobile. Kudos to Basit and his team memebers.

Food Court next to PIDC

There is a food court opening next to PIDC office from Saturday, the 10^th of November 2007. Today there was it’s unofficial opening, so I with a couple of friends decided try it out.

As we entered there was a huge hallway, on the right there were different counters. They have decided to have separate counters according to food types. Today only the Pakistani food counter was under operation, but from what I have heard there is going to be sandwich, continental, Chinese and drinks stalls as well. Each of these booths will have a menu according to its type, which seems good enough. Today there was chupli kabab, Qorma, palak gosht, daal, naan, and egg gravy. Today the wasn’t that bad, but I am sure as the place gets up and fully running things will become smooth and better.

Let me get one thing clear, this place should not be compared to the food court of FORUM or PARK TOWERS for that matters.

The idea of opening a food court especially near the offices is outstanding. Kudos to the owner for such an excellent initiative. I am sure this place is going to be a gold well for him.

Tie Khudee – Business Plan Competition

This competition is one of its kind, and something that has not yet been implemented in Pakistan. The idea is very appealing specially for the young thriving business oriented brain racking minds. It is for those young guns who think they have an idea to become an innovative bourgeois.

This unique contest is to promote Entrepreneurship in Pakistan, which i think is a very good idea not only for the younger generations but also for the business minded people to start up their side business and just want to give it a shot if their business plan will work when put in the actual market.
