What Leaving Pakistan Taught Us About Success? | Roundtable | Episode 11

They left Pakistan. Built new lives. Created companies. Found stability. But no matter where they go, Pakistan keeps showing up in the guilt, in the pride, in the conversations that never really end. In this roundtable, three diaspora voices, Saad Hashmani, Chaudhry Ayaz, and Uzair Hasan, sit down not just to talk about business or identity, but about what it means to still care about a country that keeps pushing you away. They question the weight of patriotism, the emotional tax of caring, and what it means to succeed abroad while still being rooted to home. This is about the invisible thread that ties every Pakistani back to the land they thought they left behind. 00:00:00 – Highlight 00:02:13 – How Did You Get Into the U.S. Business Circle?
