Entrepreneurship
November 29, 2016

Mr. Noaman Zakir, Lahore School Alumni and CEO of Rici Melion visited Lahore School of Economics, Burki Campus, on November 25, 2016 to share his thoughts on Entrepreneurship.

Kinza Babar, the Vice President of the Entrepreneur and Business Society (EBS) opened the session by welcoming the participants, introducing the trainers. Hassan Shah Khagga, the president of the society, shared his experience of being a part of EBS and how it has brought so much positivity in him as a person and his goals in life.

Noaman Zakir went on to the first session defining the concept of success, which is to get started and take a step ahead, “you must start and if you don’t start, trust me, you would not succeed”, as he stated. Noaman Zakir shared his inspirational success story where he is just twenty-two years old and owns the leading brand of Pakistan today.

“Entrepreneurship is in my blood, I must say. I was just six when I started selling candies to my friends convincing them that they were sweeter than all the others available and believe me you, even though it was not true, it worked. You need to believe in yourself, mate, and the world will believe you.”

Noaman Zakir spent his four years in Lahore School studying business but he never gave up on his dream of becoming a fashion designer so even after graduating as a business student, he believed in his dreams and went for it as a career choice.

Noaman Zakir started off with Rs. 25,000 in his pocket and today he earns much more than that. The only thing that kept him going from 25,000 to much more was his courage not to give up and most of all his support from his friends, family and especially his dear instructor, Mr. Faizan Khalid who believed in him and his capabilities to touch the sky.

The workshop ended with Mr. Faizan Khalid and Professor Fareedy explaining the participants that entrepreneurs are risk-takers and to become one, you need to believe, rise, build and have all the courage to face the difficulties that come your way with a simple smile on your face because you know that after every hardship comes ease just like after every night, the sun rises back again.
