Compiled from 1 recorded interview. Every statement below is drawn from the passage cited beside it.

Zeeshan Aftab is the co-founder and managing director of 10Pearls. He founded the company with his brother Imran in 2004. Aftab was born in Karachi and studied business studies with technology at a university in Turkey. He later worked in IT education and software before deciding to start something of his own.

Early life and background

Aftab was born in Karachi. He is a Hafiz-e-Quran, meaning he has memorised the Quran. He attended a madrasa to memorise the Quran, which took about five years. He says most of his early learning took place at home. The family business was in the extended family, and his father was not directly involved in it. [1]

Education

Aftab started formal schooling after finishing the Quran at the madrasa. He attended a small school next to the family home. He stood third in his class in the first term. He stood first in the final term and was given a double promotion, skipping eighth grade. [1]

Aftab went to Turkey for university because it was the cheapest option available. He says the curriculum was in English, but he had to learn Turkish, and he says he speaks fluent Turkish. He studied business studies with technology. He says he had three job offers when he graduated. [1]

Career

After coming back, Aftab was jobless for three months, then got a job as an education assistant at the British Council. He then moved into IT education, then IT software development and software marketing. After four to five years in those roles, he decided to start something of his own. [1]

Founding of 10Pearls

Aftab co-founded 10Pearls with his brother Imran in 2004. He describes his role as managing director. He says the company started inside his home, in a small space in the apartment where he lived. In the early days he did project management, design, QA and business analysis himself. He says the company ran from home for about a year, then moved into a shop. [1]

When the company moved to a shared space, it had seven people. He says it started as a marketing solutions firm building small websites. It then moved into real app development and .NET work. He says 10 Pearls built and launched its first iPhone app, a game, in-house. He says the company was pivoting long before the word pivot became common in startups. [1]

Technology and products

Aftab says 10 Pearls has the capability to work on AR and VR. He says it did substantial work on HoloLens. He says it has not worked on Apple Vision Pro because there are no customers yet. [1]

He says 10 Pearls built a self-healing test automation product. He says it has built about eight AI frameworks. He says a product business is different from a services business and needs selling skills. He says building a product needs experience in a particular industry. [1]

Size and structure

Aftab says 10 Pearls employs more than 1,000 people, with about 1,300 people globally, around 800 of them in Pakistan. He says it has more than 400 people in Latin America, in Costa Rica, Colombia and Peru. He says it has more than 200 people in the US. He says it operates in Latin America, America and Pakistan under the 10 Pearls name. [1]

He says 10 Pearls has acquired about 13 companies so far, with acquisitions in Pakistan, the US, the UK, Costa Rica and Colombia. He says it rents all its offices in Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad. [1]

10Pearls University

Aftab says he runs a holistic company that includes 10 Pearls University and a foundation. He says he works at a very holistic level. He says the 10Pearls University is a free platform open to anyone. He says about 90 percent of 10 Pearls University trainers are company employees. He says people who take the free course can clear a 10 Pearls interview. [1]

Staff and workplace

He says 10 Pearls decided from day one not to hide the identity of its staff, and that all its customers know where its staff are based. He says the 10 Pearls model has always been to build a community around its people. He says it ran workations, sending groups of 8 to 12 people by train to Lahore. He says loyalty is good but should be compensated. He says 10 Pearls has given staff equity through a long term incentive plan. [1]

Delivery model

Aftab says 10 Pearls does not present itself to clients as an outsourcing or offshoring firm. He says it offers clients a choice between nearshore and offshore delivery. He says Latin America is a strong nearshore market with English-speaking talent. He gives a rule of thumb: cost is three in the US, two in Latin America and one in Pakistan. He says he has not seen much attrition among Latin American staff. [1]

He says Pakistan is discussed whenever a project comes up for renewal. He says due diligence is at a level where police certificates are often submitted. [1]

Views on AI and the market

Aftab describes himself as always optimistic. He says AI is an opportunity to take on, not something that will replace people. He says 10 Pearls is investing aggressively in AI. He says adopting AI requires a complete change of mindset. He says IT workers who do not use AI for daily tasks risk becoming extinct. [1]

He says everybody is now looking for an AI implementation partner, and that such a partner shows clients where AI fits in their business. He says he built a GPT sales agent for his company himself, in about half an hour. He says a fresh graduate who uses a tool such as Copilot or ChatGPT to write the same program much faster than a colleague who takes longer would be preferred in the market. He says businesses need an architect at the start of an AI journey. [1]

He says robots will take longer to reach trades like plumbing and electrical work. He describes the current period as a transition from COVID to AI. He says trust and cyber security are a bigger question in the age of AI and data. [1]

He says layoffs happened at Facebook, Google and Apple. He says there is now a lot of work, and that the company is hiring heavily. He says dynamics are changing because it is an election year. [1]

Views on talent and education

Aftab disagrees with the view that IT education standards in Pakistan are low. He says Pakistani talent is among the best in the world. He says large customers have sent him many emails praising Pakistani talent. He says talent coming out of different universities is very good but raw. He says it is a wrong assumption that a university hire will earn for the company straight away. [1]

Aftab personally feels that university education is overrated. He says a person does not have to study for four years to be eligible for a job. He says 10Pearls spotted a talented person under 18 and hired him after intermediate, and that he is now a senior developer. He says he knows people with no college degree who became software developers and lead architects in Canada. [1]

He says the human resource, which he calls the raw material, is not developing. He says someone who has studied civil engineering can do nothing else for the rest of their life. He says people are taught to take a job to earn money. [1]

Personal life

Aftab had been married for about a year when he left his job. He was 28, and a child was on the way when he was starting the business. He would recommend home schooling if parents have time and a community. [1]
