This is a very motivated podcast. I have learned from this podcast that confidence is always a big thing to achieve your goals or dreams. And the second thing is self-learning and never giving up. The most important thing is your parents support. Every parent wants to give the best life to their children and they bear many hardships for us to make our life best.
You know what's amazing! An employer on record appreciating an employee by name! We definitely need more Muzammil and more Khayaam. Kudoo to Muzammil 😍😍😍
the best thing about this person is if he finds a way to help someone or to do things right he won't sit back and just wait
I have been using Nearpeer for my CSS prep and so far it has been the best platform I have seen, far better than the academies I wasted my money on.

@@Waleedkkhan594 I did my last year of bachelor of business analytics from Australia but due to covid all my classes were online and since then I have really liked the idea of online education as compared to on campus, adding to that, Nearpeer in particular is very efficient and focused when it comes to CSS prep because most of the instructors are CSS toppers so it really helps and they also provide useful notes and additional sources. I would recommend you to try a single course than see how it goes for you. :)

I think there is a hidden wisdom in this episode. As the host said that people are not very good at looking for answer. And the guest said that he passed the Urdu test because it was an open-book test. Yet we are still think in memorization. Life is an open book test.
Muzammil bhai you were apologizing for 2 hours podcast, and here I was thinking it should be more than that, literally Maza agya🔥 Keep up the good work. JazakALLAH
Indonesian, Malaysian Ed Techs and even Indian children's content creators on youtube have created a lot of content in Malay and Hindi. Even Arab language content is on the rise. But just as Urdu websites find it hard to gain traction, Pakistani parents of even lower mid class want the children's content to be in English to bridge the divide between the haves and have nots due to language. There is a dire need for Urdu AND English content which is relevant to our culture. That said, gaining Knowledge, Skill and Education are three different things. Ed Tech can help one gain knowledge and some form of skill, but for experiential knowledge, critical insight, and practical skills, face to face learning will always be more valuable and become more sought after even when online education booms. The current online education experiment worldwide brought to light many issues such as lack of self autonomous learning skills among students which is crucial for a productive online education. Glad that Ammar has got his facts right and hope his plans positively impact Pakistani Education system.
Incredible episode! i'll recommend this episode to all students. You both are doing amazing Job!! Thanks alot for this wonderful podcast.
Sir Ammar's words always been a source of inspiration for many of us 😍❤👏

Sir please have a session with shahrukh swati too.
god knows how much i’ve been in need of this since i’ve started using youtube!
I read from nearpeer. Its great!!
Was desperately waiting for this one❤❤
Some fact check :- Pakistan gdp per capita is $1600 (approximately) not $1200 indonesia gdp per capita is $4000 (approximately) not $2000 Indonesia gdp (nominal) was $900bn (approximately) in 2012 not $300bn (nominal) their gdp was $300bn(nominal) in 2006
Loved this!!!
Let's start
The conversation was very practical. Especially the job hunting mindset and process discussion was mind boggling. Learned a lot today and would definitely be taking some skill course from nearpeer.
I LOVE NEARPEER❣.I prepared Mdcat last year.Although unfortunately I didn't get admission.But nearpeer is amazing, it inspires alot. It provides learning without giving any torture and tension ,unlike other conventional teachers... Btw ,it is true last time pmc system had many flaws... Plz donot say that all flaws were in students..there were hundereds of wrong questions in question bank of pmc😬
What a conversation! 🙌🏼
The concept is similar to Studypool, Coursehero, Chegg. These platforms are also actually used for helping student resolve their assignment for a small subscription fee. The function of asking questions should be limited in order for reduce people solving students whole assignment as it will impact their learning.
Super amazing podcast! ♥️
Don't be sorry I really enjoyed the conversation & all the episodes are just so thoughtful that I'm gonna do something because just by listening to these people's stories I have ton of new ideas 💡... keep growing keep educating
Since 2020, India has seen four EdTech start-ups turn into unicorns (Unacademy, UpGrad, and Eruditus and Vedantu) and one into a decacorn (Byju's).

Salams, it meant from a place of respect love and care As a non native trying to speak listen I find your opening dialogs at such a supersonic speed. Cannot be understood. Please please speak slow. I have same issue with jazz complaints and bank complaints.
Those who are not at lums ,where can they find lums study stuff for self grooming Studying in other universities or chartered accountancy
Loving every bit of it
One of the best Podcasts!
He speaks very genuinely. And one thing that I learned from this podcast is you should never give up and always try to achieve your dream. Also, it is very important to become a lifelong learner no matter at which position you are.
Sooo inspirational
First of all, I must thank Mr. Muzamil to invited Mr. Ammar Ali to his channel. I didn't hear about Nearpear. It's so embarrassing for me, that I do not hear about this platform before. So impressive that I can't explain it in words.
Wonderful Conversation 👏👏❤❤
LUMS and all other 100 fantastic schools where he studied played a huge role in where he is today, unfortunately you learn these things so many years later after working in the industry if you are from third class institution. But overall it's a great podcast and I enjoyed alot. Kudos 👌
as a student of nearpeer i feel like this video should be uploaded on their app for students in short segments as its here on yt ofc if Muzammil allows.
Very informative show 👌👍💯
completed ! And Awesome😍
What I have learned from this podcast is that confidence matter a lot in life...a confidence which is given to you by your PARENTS. My dad would never take me to his workplace to give recommendations. This is the confidence which parents give to their children since the start.

Kudos to you muzamil and the guest, just when I start losing hope listening to politicians and all the economic crisis our country is going through you guys are a ray of hope for the future of this country. keep up the good work. just wanted to add something, majority of government universities are playing with their student`s future. The quality of education is below average, if their is a level below average i would place them there. The Vice Chancellor`s appointment is political, that very same VC appoints Lecturers and professors (including administrative staff as well) on political basis and those guys are going to teach thousands of students for 60 years of their life and just imagine the kind of damage they are inflicting. So i suggest, don't know if my suggestion makes any difference but you guys can definitely convey the message properly. Form a team of highly professional and enlightened professors in their respective fields and re-conduct interviews of the guys who are teaching in these government institutions, trust me 80% of teaching staff will lose their jobs. Watched the podcast of HEC Chairman Mr. Banuri and the kind of revelations he made were just the tip of ice berg. Schools and colleges are even worse.
Excellent Podcast

If 95% students study for free, Nearpeer earns from 5% of the customers and generate highest revenue in EdTech market? Not sure how that fits in for-profit commercial business
