Question / Answers

Coming from a business-oriented family, my father initiated our journey with the constniction of Al-Noor Apartment in Old Town Karachi back in 1977. His extensive experience served as invaluable guidance, making my entry into the industry relatively smooth. I was fortunate to have his mentorship, and he emphasized that those starting from scratch often face more hurdles.

I initiated my professional journey during my college years, but my official entry into the Business world happened after graduating. It was in the years 2000 and 2005 that I took on indcpendent projects, signifying the commencement of my endeavors in construction.

I believe progress is determined not just by age but by strong commitment and passion for one’s dreams. I encourage everyone to persistently pursue their aspirations through hard work, as the fruition of those efforts will come in due time.

The construction industry holds significant potential and plays a pivotal role in a country’s economic growth. Recognizing its importance, our government and former Prime Minister have emphasized its value. The 2019 World Bank Report indicates a shortage of 1.2 million houses in Pakistan, despite a growing population. With the need for expansions in every sector, the construction industry will remain active as long as the population continues to increase.

My message to the youth to avoid seeking shortcuts and prioritize integrity and honesty in their endeavors.

While the current atmosphere is generally favorable, there exists ample opportunity for enhancement, particularly concerning the implementation of tax relief measures, removal of obstacles for builders, and the promotion of a more conducive business environment.

Achieving stability, especially post-elections, is paramount. The key to propelling the industry toward success lies in the formulation and implementation of sustainable policies that address the core needs of the sector.

The significance of ABAD in the construction industry is substantial. Serving as a pivotal Platform, ABAD plays a vital role by advocating for the construction sector and fostering communication with government officials.

To enhance the association’s impact, I envision a proactive role from more ABAD members. increased engagement and active participation from members are integral to fortifying the association, allowing it to thrive and better serve the interests of the construction industry.

ABAD is actively engaged in policy advocacy, collaborting with governmental bodies, and addressing pertinent issues. The association has made significant strides in supporting its members and aiding them in overcoming challenges.

To further facilitate ABAD members, continued active participation in the association is crucual. Remaining integral to the association ensures not only individual benefits but also contributes to the dedicated service of the industry as a whole.
