PAKISTAN - TCS Courier

TCS Customer Newsletter
“Business in general has taken
a beating with the global
economic recession and the
many troubles that Pakistan has
faced in recent years,” says
Javaid, who feels that this is the
time to redouble one’s efforts
and position oneself for when
the business activity begins to
pick up. He has found himself in
pioneering roles with TCS having
opened its branches in Tauheed
Commercial and Shamsheer
Commercial. The ten years that
he spent at the Clifton Center in
SASI Arcade were very
educative, he says, and feels
highly indebted to TCS from
whom he has learnt a lot. He
would like to see his business
progress and is looking forward
to acquiring a second TCS
franchise in the not too distant
future. Javaid is saddened by
the turn for the worse that cricket
matters have taken in Pakistan,
and feels that people are entitled
to some healthy entertainment
in their lives.
Tariq Yousaf joined TCS in 1986 as a Courier, and then
transferred out to the TCS sponsored Sohni Express
as Station Controller, rejoining TCS as Sales Officer in
1990. He left TCS to set up his own Franchise in August
2008 while serving the Company as Senior Sales Manager.
“While performing a job one is always a bit fearful about starting
a business,” says Tariq, the only franchisee to be running two outlets. “But
when the TCS Management made the offer to me it was too good to resist,
specially since it concerned an area that I was well familiar with. My total
concentration is on making the franchise a success, and in this I follow Mr.
Jinnah’s exhortation of work, work, and more work!” Tariq says he has no
time for rest and recreation given the state of the economy and the call to
action stations across the board. However, Tariq would do well to remember
that all work and no play make Jack a dull boy. But Tariq’s no Jack! And he
certainly ain’t no boy!
Rana Atique joined TCS in 1990 as Recovery Officer,
and resigned his job in 2007 as Recovery Manager. It
has been seven months since he opened the Franchise,
and he says it is doing well and improving every day. “It
is not such a big deal, and I could easily manage another
four such centers!” says Rana, exuding a welcome bravado
in these somewhat depressed times. “It is a neat and clean business with
little or no risk involved.” Rana is married with five daughters and one son,
and also involved in the property business.
