Ah, that sounds very interesting Shoaib.

I'd be interested to know more, when you've time to write about it.

One of our Pakistan team runs an excellent women's organisation there called Women's Organization on Rights and Development (WORD), which she set up recently.

Hey Mr. Shoaib Hamid,
Hope this post finds you well. I'm currently working on a IFC (International Finance Corporation) funded project in Bangladesh which aims to develop the investment climate of the country. As we are working with the private business sector of Bangladesh to keep them updated with all the new and analysis of the project we publish a quarterly magazine.
Now, this time, I want to write a comparison article on Infrastructure support for IT Businesses in countries of Asia. For this, I need contacts of a business person who run a software development or call centre company in India, Pakistan and Srilanka. I can see, you are managing a software development firm in Pakistan which has done a lot of works with international organizations. The idea is I'll send you a questionnaire via email. You have answer the questions and send it back to me. We will surely send you a printed copy of the magazine once it gets published. I'll always keep you on the loop. Can you help me with the interview?

It will be so kind of you. You can visit our website and download our magazine. http://www.bangladeshbusiness.biz

Contact me on mushfiq.wahed@mottmac-bd.com

Thanks.
