An interview with Yusuf Hussain, Managing Director, PSEB

Unique Pakistan carries an in-depth interview with Yusuf Husain, Managing Director of the Pakistan Software Export Board. Among other things, Yusuf discusses the rationale behind the $2BN IT market size estimates PSEB uses, the growth rate for the IT sector in Pakistan – pegged at 50% YoY, and the potential for explosive growth in software and services outsourcing. At one point in the interview, Yusuf talks about his belief that in 2 or so years, the IT industry will begin to transform the economy of the country much as India’s IT industry did a few years ago.

Clearly, Yusuf Hussain has the right kind of attitude about developing the IT industry in Pakistan. The PSEB has been much more prominent since he took over and that speaks volumes about his efforts to push things along in a positive direction. Well done, Yusuf!
