C-Suited.com Podcast: Episode 1
Host 1: Welcome to C-Suited, the podcast that brings you insights from Pakistan's top business leaders on sustainability, transformation, and the future of business. I'm [Host 1's name].
Host 2: And I'm [Host 2's name]. Today we're taking a look at a new platform aiming to be the go-to resource for Pakistani executives navigating the complexities of sustainable business transformation: C-Suited.com.
Host 1: That's right. The platform, launching this month, is the brainchild of an individual working closely with Mr. Naveed Awan, who is described as a veteran C-Suite executive since the 1980s and "the equivalent of Jeff Bezos & Steve Jobs in Pakistan." [1-3]
Host 2: High praise indeed! What will C-Suited.com offer executives?
Host 1: The platform will focus on several key themes, including:
- Sustainability, with a particular emphasis on environmentally and socially responsible practices and achieving Net Zero goals [4]
- Transformation, helping businesses adapt and thrive in a rapidly changing world [5]
- FinTech/DeFi, covering the latest developments in financial technology and decentralized finance [6]
- Wellbeing, highlighting the importance of mental and physical well-being for executives [7]
- AI & Blockchain, exploring the applications and implications of these technologies. [8]
Host 2: That's a comprehensive range of topics. How will this information be delivered?
Host 1: C-Suited.com plans to offer various resources, including:
- White papers: In-depth articles on key themes, with over 30 expected to be available by the end of November. [9]
- C-Suited Interviews: Featuring prominent Pakistani CEOs, such as Dr. Mehr Mumtaz (CEO, South City Hospital) on mental wellbeing and Masroor Husain Khan (Chairman, OGRA) on energy. [10-12]
- Events: A major event is planned for May 2025 featuring top Pakistani CEOs and international guest speakers. [13]
- Podcasts and Forums: Interactive platforms for discussion and knowledge sharing. [14]
Host 2: It sounds like C-Suited.com will have something for everyone in the Pakistani C-Suite. What role will Mr. Awan play in all of this?
Host 1: The sources indicate he will play a guiding role. [3] While he's currently the Group Head of Marketing & Retail at TCS Courier Service, he's expected to dedicate time to C-Suited.com. [15] His experience and network could be valuable assets, especially regarding the platform's "TCS Benefit External Communication Native Marketing" strategy, which likely refers to leveraging partnerships and existing networks within TCS. [16]
Host 2: It's an ambitious project with a tight timeline. The website launches on October 20th, 2023, with the full platform launch following in December. [17, 18] It will be interesting to see if C-Suited.com can live up to its goals and become the leading resource for Pakistani executives seeking guidance on sustainable transformation.
Host 1: Absolutely. We'll be watching closely and keeping you updated on the platform's progress. Until then, thanks for listening to C-Suited!
