From Manufacturing to Brands: Pakistan’s Shoe Industry Reality | Ft.Syed Jamil Almas | Startupreneur

Pakistan has a long history of footwear manufacturing, but why hasn’t the country produced more powerful, recognizable shoe brands? In this episode of Startupreneur, host Omer Aftab, a social entrepreneur, sits down with Syed Jamil Almas, COO at Almas, to explore the reality of Pakistan’s shoe industry — from manufacturing and supply chains to retail, brand building, leadership, customer experience, and the challenges of taking Pakistani businesses to the next level. The conversation goes beyond shoes. It looks at why manufacturing strength doesn’t always translate into successful consumer brands, what it takes to build a sustainable retail business, and how better leadership, strategy, supply-chain management, and customer experience can shape the future of Pakistan’s footwear industry. Syed Jamil Almas shares insights from his experience in retail, supply chain, leadership, strategy, and customer experience, offering a behind-the-scenes perspective on the opportunities and challenges facing Pakistani businesses today.
