Superb prodcast, smart guests, good to see intelligent ppl running smart startups, love from 🇮🇳
Muzamil Bhai, So for one of the best..!!! I have been listing your podcasts for the last 2 years, but this one is totally out of this world. and Please do invite someone from Outfitters. Keep up the good work paa ji...
all of these people are highly privileged, they have money they make money, they do ventures, they become top personalities... jaisy neechy se uthny ka is mulk mai koi scene hi nahi hai... aam insan ka bacha normal se school se parh k govt university mai dhakky kha k bus norki dhondny k lye jooty hi ghista rahy.... social disparity at its best.... i would request you to bring people who came from nothing.... that would be a great inspiration for us...

IT has changed this !
I usually go out for jog after fajar listening to a podcast, this is the first one that I will cover in more than a day.
Haziq knows ground realities of the business - great insights from the high and low levels
Awesome, one of the best podcast on TBT, very insightful!
Like always great content. I always appreciate your work because its beneficial for others and true meaning of content creation in my perspective
One of the most amazing podcast of TBT. Haziq was very insightful and has such clarity in his thoughts. Continue doing the amazing job @tbt team.
Every second of this podcast was enlightenment to the very end.

yeah, i was finding the same but nothing in the chapters too
did my first order on kravemart 2 days ago, it was delivered within 9 minutes! also, loved this episode. request/suggestion: could you get someone from SWVL on the podcast and ask about the sustainability of intra-city public transport (non-government)? a bit sad on the closure of their services recently.
Woahhh what an amazing podcast. Each and every sentence has logic & facts to understand what actually happened.
1 sec ni skip kiya .... super fabulous podcast ever
Thank You for existing within the time-lapse that i breath in Muzammil bhai, listening to your podcasts is time worth spend on the internet, May you get what you desire, Ameen.
Had the pleasure of meeting Haziq over a short 10 minutes meeting, brilliant chap. Excellent podcast Muzammil.
This podcast is really amazing and informative , this is the first podcast I ever watched of 2+ hours .😋
Thank you for another insightful podcast, loved the guest 😍
Damn, what an Insightful 2:28 hrs I had. It really changed my mind about e-commerce and I didn't imagine there are these much insights going at backend and there could be a logistic or infrastructure revolution in Quick e-commerce.
Masha Allah. Very informative video
One of the best episodes so far!
Hi TBT Team, You are doing amazing job and inspiration for many people. As a whole this podcast was amazing but last 5 mins were special for me as Overseas Pakistani . As a nation (especially Overseas Pakistanis) we need to change our behaviors and come up on our egomania in order to grow and compete with World. I've found Many fellow citizens highly unprofessional, unethical & non supportive abroad that's why we are far behind compared to other nationalities. This mindset "We are the best" is corroding us. Recommending a complete program on this subject to brainwash young entrants in Overseas Markets.
What a podcast! So so inspirational
One of the most insightful and interesting podcast... Great work
Great insights, Haziq. Loved the whole discussion.
Great session! Enjoyed it
One of the most interesting and insightful podcasts on this channel.
Bro muzamil why dont you bring your show to discover pakistan, thats like a perfect crossover.
Thoroughly enjoyed it. Learned a lot from the valuable conversation throughout. Thank you Mazamil for bringing such rich content to us.
Super insightful ♥️
Loved it!
Haziq Sir! Has great personality and leadership skills, i used to work with him in same organization and where i was part of HR and he was from Operations.. nice boss to his team..
Loved this. Nice and bold man learned a lot. Thanks for providing us option to listen gold minded people who
It really changed my views regarding quick commerce for the very first time. Super amazing podcast!
Love ho gya Muzammil... My favorite part last 2 questions💖
Great podcast! 👍🏼
good to hear such discussion
so good!
Impressive talk
1:34:40 Another point to be noted that electric bikes have very low speed as compared to the other bikes. And time is one of the most important part of food delivery service.
Always Inspirational
Great work 👏

Great talk about about E Commerce with whole Information,Exicution and infrastructure. Feel proud be a Pakistani.
Heyy! So have you monetized the channel? Because we can see ads - there is some youtube policy that shows ads even on those channels without monetization. So if that's what's showing us the ads, you can actually monetize - since ads will be there in both cases, if you monetize, you can earn out of it too.
Thank you @Muzamil Hasan and @Haziq Ahmed,
informative one
guy is a legend
This is Ecommerce 101 optimized to 2 hrs! :)
Too good
Great guest . Have a potential to do some thing great for Pak. Cristal clear social and commercial concepts. 💯 Agree with him on morality problem. Our politicians and rulers are just a reflection of what we are.
similar story likes me Thanks for that Muzamil and Haziq Ahmad Brother
32:00 great idea
Grilled him like a true VC for funds near the end of the podcast lol but very insightful!
1:33:32 sweet spot heavy hahahaha
ending behtereen thi i was not expecting
Would have loved insight into his experience with YCombinator.
"Yaar Ek second k liye b nahi" that what i like it ek dum decision yeh hota hai vision
Banda aik number hai! Logical
1:50:47 a wild “prop” makes an appearance. For those who know 😉
greattt knowledge gained
The expression changes when it comes to unit economics of quick commerce.
He sounds like Shahid Afridi😊

I started raashan pani online in karachi when there was no krave mart food panda etc.. At the peak of covid, we served Karachi ppl but I didnt approached any investor.. 😕
Correction* This is ep 241 but thumbnail showing ep 240
MOALITY this dude touched the base wow.
If this guy fails in business, he can simply use his voice to imitate Shahid Afridi!
Why is the title about Start-ups laying off?

Nice talking
Why only famous and successful people you invite. Means only media people have a story to tell. In my humble opinion you should invite people who are not your personal friends and family. Trust me bro, plenty talented people are out there who are maybe not that successful but a lot more to tell which your audience want to listen. Anyways good work 👍
Call abdul salam. CEO of 9D Technologies. It would be very beneficial for all of viewers
Asalaamoalaikum Syed Saab? Aap se aik guzaarish hai. Koshish kiya Karen, ke baat zaraa aahista se kiyaa karein. You are speaking far too fast and is spoiling the whole interview. Try slowing down.
Plz invite Marham CEO ehsan
