How is the IT industry progressing in Pakistan?
This connected world where we live today has spread its wings in technology probably never like before. All sorts of stuff that is meant for human easiness is available worldwide. The question is… what makes such things more inciting to our current norms? Well, if we observe, the sane answer would be, it’s because of the progress of the I.T industry in the world. However, is it progressing in Pakistan? Let’s find out!
According to global statistics, Pakistan holds not a really realibile position when we talk about I.T. Meanwhile, our neighbour India, has attained a name in the I.T realm, and now around 34% of the world’s total oversea I.T endeavor are generated from there. This is something we should take heed from, even top I.T companies in Pakistan, could not make it on reliable global platforms but still have a deep crust.
Still beating around the bush locally:
The main reason for such a drastic fate of the I.T companies in Pakistan Links to an external site. is that there are not many opportunities for the professionals. Even if there are opportunities available then it is not suitable for a professional to work there, the salary or the pay is way too low for them. What are you supposed to do when you are pushing your sweat and blood on a project and despite earning a handsome return you get pennies, who wants to proceed with such a thing?
Well, let’s admit we all are human beings and we all have our necessities and codes of life. None with a sane mind is foolish enough to have a go with pennies when he can get tens of thousands. So, a considerable number of the professionals fly off to seek their career elsewhere in the world while only local amateurs remain the most here.
As the time passed by, these local one’s exceeded the experience and some even launched their own set up and they loose around successfully, making substantial money. But then again, the course of reliability is compromised here and hence I.T industry of Pakistan got a bad name in Pakistan.
Most renowned I.T professionals are Pakistanis:
Yes, you might be surprised by the fact but it’s actually the truth. No matter what you call this nation, this nation has produced the individuals that have innovated the best I.T services and solutions in the world. The virtual being that we call virus was first invented by a Pakistani named Amjad Farooq Alvi, along with his brother. As a Pakistani we all know the youngest I.T professional Arfa Randhwa. If we are so into movies, you guys might be surprised that the latest movie in the Mission Impossible series was all VFXed by a Pakistani girl.
Thus, undoubtedly, we have professionals but to utilize these professionals we must have a plan and a fair approach that can be mutually beneficial to them individually and as an Industry all together. Despite not so approachable industry world wide, Pakistani I.T realm has improved to the extent of global standards, soon flourishing.
