What oil is for Middle East; is what Minerals are for Pakistan!

Indiscreetly the times change and we move on, replacing the old chapters with new one, subsequently achieving the unattained and looking forward to experience the new age; urging possibilities and  outlining distinctive strategies. The moving ticks give me hopes of a new tomorrow, progressive opportunities and resilient benchmarks.

The evolving time, hence, taught me to get the most of the given situation and create opportunities to reap successful endeavors for future prospects. I believe, to do is to discover and to plan and employ resources in order to explore, is an effort of the bravest. In my attempt of bravery, I chose an underdeveloped industry of Pakistan to excel my career in and here I am, carving the possibilities for others to explore and make their careers, for that matter.

Exploring industries in Pakistan has always been a choice of my own and gasping over the stone and mineral deposits of Pakistan made my thoughts very clear about the rich natural resources the geography textbooks mention about this country. Various demeanors and assorted colors of granite, marble and onyx are substantially found in huge mines located in different provinces of Pakistan.

And so I planned to behold an exposition to engage the world of stone industry and hence, employ resources to explore. STONECA- the stone expo, defines the ultimate solution of stone industry from mining machineries to latest equipments in drilling and blasting techniques. Name it and the show has it all.

STONECA is one thought of many more to come, and I surely believe that this driving mechanism can urge anyone to go beyond the conventional approach and do something different. Eventually, the thought process is never old and results, never the same. I solemnly believe, positivity leads to conducive ramifications.

What I did in China, is Significant!

China has always been my inspiration for growth, prosperity and expansion. My recent visit to China, expectedly, bought a series of opportunities at my end in order to flourish and harness the global intervention and enhance trade potential. My Asian Federation of Exhibitions and Conferences Association (AFECA) membership invited me to connect with the world of entrepreneurs in the exhibition industry and to visit the beautiful places like Chengdu and Chongqing in China.

Chengdu being the natural habitat of giant pandas, also known as “Heavenly State” served the best destination for the happening. AFECA, headed by Edward Liu, bought together the trade organizers from around the world and connect through the esteemed channel of events and conferences. It provided a breakthrough in networking needs of the entire event organizer fraternity with sharing of valuable ideas and unique business plans that adds to an individual’s exposure. After attending the business mission of AFECA, I believe it to be a necessity.

Renowned global associations with UFI- the Global Association of the Exhibition Industry and International Association of Exhibitions and Events (IAEE) were considerate collaborators of this business mission. It gave me great pleasure to invite the renowned associations and brands to Pakistan and explore the bounties which this land is bestowed with. Nonetheless, Pakistan is a Land of opportunities for those who seek diversified possibilities and novel ideas to do business.

The huge network of event organizers and trade associations served the splendid platform to engage all the known brands in order to promote Meeting, Incentive Travel, Convention and Exhibition (MICE). It provided the cardinal purpose of communicating thought process and viewpoints that expressed the progressive aptitudes of the valued members. The active involvement of China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT) encouraged business making and propelled incredible trade benefits to acquire.

The incorporation of the 9^th CEFCO (China Expo Forum for International Corporation) Conference 2013 in Chongqing, famous as a “Mountain City”, was indeed an experience well gratifying. Specialized professionals of the trade industry enlightened the impacts of economic prospects on exhibition industry and acknowledged the essentials of changing markets of the corporate world.

It had been a tremendous experience and learning for me and I wish to continue it to the extent where AFECA feels crucial to have Pakistan’s representation as a very substantial and particular involvement in order to conduct the event successfully. As we have reached here, I surely will strive for my wish and accomplish it, respectively.

The Social Us!

Being anonymous and living in the world of millions is comparatively easier than choosing a path to excel and accomplish brilliance. Outdoing others is one thing; I see a number of people unaware of what they actually want to do. Oblivious of their insights, most of the careers are shaped according to the trends prevailing and jobs defined. Social media, on the other hand, helped people know a lot about their very own self.

Analyzing the change of times, I happen to observe some new career paths envisaging people to choose from a variety of job descriptions which has truly given them an open opportunity to become what they always wanted to. I believe there is a considerable role of social media in creating awareness of your own preferences and hence, your profession.

Widespread social expression was not even an idea that was dreamt off ever and yet it became a necessity to maintain a certain course of networking, socializing and doing businesses. Presenting with an entire new domain to educate and aware people about themselves, their likings and their offerings. It also originated new ventures to provide solutions and accustomed the lazy-to-go-office workers to earn from home.

I am thrilled to see the progression of an entire new genre of communication with my business associates and being heard regardless of the distances. I feel social correspondence has a lot more to offer to the individuals, in shaping their careers, also the opportunity seekers to make the most of the new trends. Transforming the medium as a requirement to interact and expand business, the social tool has proved itself in every walk of life.

I regard social media activation as a very positive change in real world that has grasped the plinth of productive innovation and novel ideas to make one place to share, aware and know things better. The idea of making one network for all has always inspired me and hence, I carved my way by organizing trade exhibitions incorporating global resources.

The way I see SUCCESS!!!

Quiet longingly I have been thinking over the prospects that shape the human thought process, the direction to understand what similar things and words might mean different to others as how they perceive. The words, however, are a major and a clear form of expression used worldwide, yet they are vulnerable to create several delusions ironically. Taking one word success. The word gives us vibes of prosperity, growth and a sense of accomplishment.

When I talk about success, I conjure up an image of Pakistan as the leads of trade industry and the success story of the event 3P- Plas, Print, Pack Pakistan 2013. Associating success with the event entails matchless past benchmarks which stay still as a point of reference for others to pursue, even though, the forthcoming show expands itself from being significant to becoming extensive.

The success of the event is considered by the business it makes for the number of days and the presence of leading brands of the particular industry. 9^th International 3P-Plas, Print, Pack Pakistan 2013 is a show strategically designed to introduce state of the art manufacturing machinery to make a standing in the global market for improvised and furnished qualitative plastic products.

The timely breakthrough along with the correct direction of the plastic sector, urged the foreign participants to come and explore business in Pakistan, which I understand as a SUCCESS. 3P-Plas, Print, Pack Pakistan 2013 is ascertained to be the biggest exposition of Plastics, Printing and Packaging industry which is again a SUCCESS. Approximately 30 countries representing their cutting edge technologies in Pakistan, is indeed a SUCCESS!

As for my eyes, Pakistan bore an immeasurable potential in the plastic, printing and packaging industry which can positively impact on the economic growth of the entire country. I firmly believe that our success factor lies in the development of our country, Pakistan.

New Year Greetings!

Sincere New Year greetings to all. It gives me immense pleasure to conclude one, yet embarking another year of undertaking the relentless series of success stories, sustaining growth opportunities and crafting an additional paradigm to explore the possibilities which inhabit within. FAKT Group has already rolled up the sleeves in pursuit to achieve it succeeding goals as New Year resolution that defines diverse genres to be unveiled.

Analyzing the past year, I feel privileged to have gained substantial progress on the face of challenges which in turn, gave us strength to expand more in proving persistence and precision to our valued customers throughout. I, along with the Team at FAKT Group, believe in strengthening bonds with industry, accuracy in accomplishments and synergizing the resources to uplift the trade industry.

Reminiscing the anecdotes, the once research documents on a glass table made their way out to engage the largest number of leads in the entire country, emerges as a matchless achievement of all. FAKT Exhibitions Pvt. Ltd. has carved its niche by organizing splendid and high profile events in the record of tradeshows, corporate conventions and conferences.

Tapping the unprecedented flow of foreign investments and pooling the high-end advanced technologies, I expect to experience more challenges to anticipate the approaching era to be more thriving, eventful and will prove to be an unbeaten episode of creating unrivaled benchmarks. The New Year will bring a series of promises, opportunities and threats, but our direction is apparent and we realize to the very extent as to where we lead.

Our efforts to foresee Pakistan as a hub of trade activities and an enriched platform to share knowledge and expertise will ensure substantial economic growth and prosperity in our homeland. Our spirits are high and so is our passion to even walk an extra mile that would create a difference in the trade industry and its related segments. We truly believe in our aspirations, to accomplish them and to uphold the resonance for the integrity of our esteemed customers, my land Pakistan and this beautiful sphere we live in.

My recent visit to Turkey

Solemnizing my recent visit to Turkey, I grasped the true intent of my connection with the country and happen to relive the bond I share with the place, its people and the delights. Turkey is famous for its coffee, rich history, distinct art patterns, sweet delicacies and preserved cultural heritage.  The country is visited by several tourists in a single year to enjoy the splendid power and home of Ottoman Empire for past 600 years.

This country is the only one on two continents, namely Europe and Asia that bridges the two regions at Istanbul. Turkey’s location, hospitality and traditional artifacts can be considered to be a differential edge over the trade expertise the country possess. The homeland of Turks is significantly recognized as one of the world’s newly industrialized region which is also a member of Eurasian countries.

My reason to experience Turkey as a cosmopolitan country, fulfilled redundantly as the tradeshow encompassed several international companies that represented their regions including Pakistan. The event was massive and served its purpose by engaging the true audience for the relevant business industry.

Participation in such events can contribute to the well being of Pakistan’s standing globally to sustain economic growth and can draw massive foreign investments for the trade rationale. More than the tradeshow, I wanted to envoy Pakistan’s indulgence in the global trade, international business and ties with Turkey to support the country’s presence on a broad-based forum.

Turkey and Pakistan are similar in trade industry and the twosome share the brotherhood since Pakistan’s inception. Turkey is positive managing strong ties with Pakistan in order to promote long term networking, meaningful business and corporate conventions to lead the trade industry in the global market and grow together. However, substantial mutual initiatives are to be taken by the government officials of the respective countries to negotiate on certain terms and pacts in order to achieve common goals that uplift the trade industry. This will work in the means of trade, prosperity and above all, Pakistan.

Energy Shortfall: when there is a will, there is a way.

Considering the current level of riots and breakthroughs, every person experiencing the under-performance of electricity saga is bound to think a way out to live a healthy life. It is an equal right of every individual to be given with basic provisions that includes continuous electrical supply in the entire country. But our nation is deprived of this necessity and we have somehow, managed to live without electricity. The fact is, however, heart throbbing.

Building of new water dams, mining coal treasures and drilling oil reserves was what we had already planned since the government got to know that Pakistan would soon be experiencing shortfall of electricity in the near future, but we did not take any substantial implementation of whatever planned. Also, up-gradation of these reserves would be expensive and time consuming as it involves long-drawn-out sequential processes.

Another option which is quite worthy and harmonizes with the environment of Pakistan is the usage of renewable resources. Pakistan has ideal wind power, solar energy and biomass resources which can produce much more electricity than is demanded. Countries like United States, Brazil, China and India has employed hefty investments to employ renewable resources and has excelled in this sector.

It’s high time we utilize the valuable resources to make efficient energy and change our preferences towards a different dimension which has already been initiated and implemented. EGO Pakistan is one prestigious platform of renewable energy equipments and technology sector which gathers the expertise of the prevailing market leaders. I believe, this is one step towards the betterment of what we are going through and what is yet to come if we do not take any stand from now on.

EGO Pakistan is no less than a transformation that employs huge monetary investments to incorporate a change by way of imparting the specialized knowledge of energy sector in its well attended conference. EGO Pakistan is what I can do for my country and people. Certainly there are things which everyone can do on their part to help make Pakistan make a better place to live in.
