Met him together with Shazia and Haroon back in 2011 on their graduate recruitment. All of them were heads of their functions. I got so impressed with Unilever’s leadership. So humble and inspiring Amir Paracha..
As a graphic designer myself, I noticed that you have really invested in branding your channel and your team did really well, from the intro to the overall studio ... that dedication is on point. Keep up the good work, I listen to your podcasts while working and it feels educated every time. God bless
Good to know that your guest is a big part of my teens. Petrol pumps were actually creepy places. My mother used to drive & she only went to Aga Khan wala petrol pump because it was the safest. Shell brought neatness, one stop shop & the novelty of getting wind shield cleaned spotlessly. Surf Excel launch was huge! People got plain white bags of washing powder & then later they reviewed the product. The ad was in itself so mazaydaar, introducing reusable container with tag lines like "nut rakhein ya bolt, matar rakhein ya butter"
Nice Muzzamil ,well conducted. I am Akash from Lucknow, India. As a Automotive mktg personnel, quite inspiring to learn from Amir saab's journey. All the best
Muzammil, this episode made me cry, gave me goosebumps and the moments of happiness. Our country will definitely gonna make it. IN SHAA ALLAH. A huge round of applause for the guest and the host 👏
Really appreciate the professionalism of both the host and the guest, informative and entertaining throughout the whole podcast. As a teenager really impressed by the guest speaker who genuinely answered as question not just as a "CEO" but as an intellectual individual and as for the host I would say keep up the good this podcast is really underrated!!
👍 my mind have been completely blown away by last few minutes of the interview. The guest was spot on identifying our core issues and their solutions. As opposed to any other corporate guy, he truly loves his country and nation. If someone from establishment here then please consider this guest for our prospective future leader. I really wish him to lead our country as he has led his company across the globe. Despite being a multinational employee, his heart still beats for Pakistan and nice to see a true gentleman patriotic Pakistani in commanding position of a corporate giant. #MakeTheGuestHeadOfStatePakistan 👍😊
What an authentic leader. He is so open in talking about his mediocrity early on in his academics as well as career. So glad that someone as humble as him is leading the org.
None like him , he is only and only . You don't often see so many qualities in one person . He's a visionary leader , orator , world class business acumen and above all he is an unbelievably good and god fearing person.
one of the best episodes i have watched completed so far and the last part sums it very well we really in need to work on our values and behavioral ethics...
It was a treat watching Amir Sir, what a warm and calm personality, i couldn’t skip even one second. So much to learn and unlearn from People like him in life. Very grateful to you for bringing him on show. Absolutely loving the season 3. Huge applause to the whole team of TBT for the amazing work and new look and feeel. Love it
What are the differences between Pakistani and Indian spending habits? Given that Mr Paracha is the CEO of Unilever in Pakistan and Unilever has a massive business in India as well, I guess he would have an idea. He spoke about how Pakistanis overspend, hence I got this question.
Bro @MuzamilHasan what a great interview, after listening to this I have learn a lot. Im 40 years old actually my story is more like Amir's but never got the opportunity to work with big organisations but very happy to listen to his story. You are doing great work and God bless you brother.
The "Why saving is important?" part in the podcast is so so good. Really enjoyed the whole podcast. Thanks, Muzammil Bhai, for providing such premium content. 💕
I subscribed many channels and pressed bell icon BUT in this case I listened some episodes then subscribe, after listening some more podcasts then I decided to pressed bell icon because I feel energetic and pationate after listening your conversations. Keep it up! and Stay Blessed, Aameen!
Please make a video on your brand identity. The guy, who designed has done far amazing job that can be expected. Please do it, it definitely will help the brand as well because now you are telling the story and the philosophy of it.
Salam, I normally don't listen to anyone for that long, but today suddenly came across to your Chanel and the Amir paracha has such an impressive, honest and clear mind, we need people like him to serve Pakistan, stay blessed, Ameen and keep doing good job.
A great interview... The last part was very well said... Morality and religious extremism is something we really need to work on.... I would have liked if you had questioned him about producing a product like fair and lovely and the thought behind it...
1:21:46 sir with due respect American economy collapsed in 2008 today they are no 1 economy China had food crisis in late 60's they are world's second economy Resilience has nothing to do with economy . Resilience should be taken as motivation for improvement
Thank you so much for interviewing real people rather than just actors or actresses and their work experience with sharukhan lol. Seriously, you are doing amazing, 👏🇵🇰 can’t wait to see more of these…. Lots of prayers from pardaysss
There is an issue that I would like to point out since I am working in the plastic sector. Pakistan plastic manufacturing company are using recycled plastic resin in their manufacturing for a long time. Client do not have such knowledge as it is not transmitted unless the client belongs to sensitive industries such as food and Pharma. Plastic companies have been collecting waste and turning it into recycled resin. That recycled resin is mixed with virgin resin to reduce cost which impacts quality at the end. Pakistan Plastic Manufacturers Association can confirm my statement as well.
Great personality. Great interview. Great performance in terms of going out of way to talk about a fair wage instead of minimum wage. Congratulations to you for getting hold of Mr. Aamir Piracha.
What an amazing session! very informative I am now fan of him when he talked about brand's philosophy. I totally agree on the last point with him we have potential but the side we are losing is moral and ethics. the more we are growing the more we are drowning which is alarming.
I think it will be great if you can ask difficult questions as well e.g Some of the products wouldn't make in developed markets but as we have weaker regulatory and Government insight they will be ok selling substandard stuff in Pakistan, Price manipulation etc.
It’s good to see a positive perspective and optimism from a CEO of a large company. Although there is a slight improvement in the country but the real growth will happen when there are better systems, population control and quality technical education. The decline in values and morality is primarily because of insufficient income for the majority of people. Countries prosper when leaders as well as their people take ownership.
what an amazing hour I have just spent, I would request you to keep it up and make us meet with these great personalities. What an amazing personality!! I didn't miss a second of this Podcast.
it was a great conversation .. enjoyed it a lot ! watched it at mid night 2-3 a.m :D , despite that , remained well focused ! got to know about interesting thoughts !
Ma Sha Allah is an exception, no one acknowledges the role of salespeople, they are involved in physical labor, meeting strangers and convincing them, bearing with their attitude.
I really love the way how you structured the entire podcast. I rarely see such top-notch quality content in Pakistani RU-vidr. My best wishes are with you, sir! Your content is very helpful for people like me.
There is a GPA requirement of 2.4 or 2.5 I believe, which just shows that the student cares the bare minimum. 90 to 95% of the companies ask for a GPA of 3.0 or higher :)
@@ramisirfan4741 tbh at that point might as well remove it, no one gets a lower GPA and still is able to make a proper job application unless there's a good reason
But then students who are atleast trying should be given some payback for their efforts. 3 GPA is moderately difficult to achieve. So 2.4 is a low enough bar so as to ensure a hard working student and pay back the students for their efforts as well. Along with the fact that there has to be some sort of metric at the bare minimum that needs to be looked at as at the university level that is the only metric for a student
@@ramisirfan4741 Its not even about GPA, Unilever only hires from Lums and IBA because they are top business schools, not everyone can afford these big expensive bschools. I think instead of GPA matter, they should remove this culture of hiring grads only from top schools.
This was a great episode. Just one thing though, many of these C level Executives do not really understand that what's going on and do not really understand the poverty in Pakistan or maybe they don't want to. They don't realize that 2005 main Jo aik recent graduate ko pehli job main salary milti thi utni hi salary aj bhi mil rahi hai. Jab k inflation has gone way up. So Sir, no we're not doing well and we definitely can't save money. Jis hisaab se companies yahan grow kar rahi Hain aur jis hisaab se mehngai ho rahi Hai, us hisaab se salaries nahin barh rahi jis ki waja se yeh Jo gap hai rich and poor Ka wo ziada se ziada wide hota jaa raha hai.
I understand that the microphone has to be at a certain position and distance from the speakers mouth in order for the best audio output; but please ensure,( through the camera angle maybe?) that the guests face isn't hidden.
What an amazing amazing Episode. Got me hooked all through 1:24:24. Thought behind things is the best podcast being run in Pakistan I believe, and especially the diversity of the people who come and talk on essentially THE THOUGHT BEHIND THING, AMAZING AMAZING WORK Muzammil
Very Nice on Amir Paracha part on elaborating views on major sectors . Pakistani Ulemas are having best talent in world and can guide common Pakistanis so they can export in Large Chinese Market.
What are the differences between Pakistani and Indian spending habits? Given that Mr Paracha is the CEO of Unilever in Pakistan and Unilever has a massive business in India as well, I guess he would have an idea. He spoke about how Pakistanis overspend, hence I got this question.
I feel there is no difference as far as I know, I don't have any data to share, but in subcontinent people mostly have same family culture...so I don't think there is much difference in spending and saving habits. What I think about this podcast - don't take it seriously...very loose talk and he seems very much disconnected from ground realities. From past few years the level of inflation and economic crisis Pak is facing...him saying people don't save much, well with such inflation and low wages nobody can save!
@@prashantp2029 Actually there is more of a Punjabi culture in Pakistan and Punjabis definitely spend a lot more than other people. I bet you even in India, if you analyse the savings rates between the states, Punjab will have lower saving culture.
@@harisadu8998 your analysis is quite accurate. Punjabi racial analysis is accurate. Thats why more punjabi men are preferring to live abroad. Which means more money to spend back home.
