Salim Ghauri

It is strange that the successful businessmen avoid sharing their success stories with the young generation. They do not take the burden of compiling their life struggle. They seldom decide to share their success, experience and vision with people. Instead, they prefer to restrict all their expertise and knowledge to their near and dear ones.

Salim Ghauri has decided to share his success story of setting up a world class Information Technology (IT) firm, namely NetSol Technologies. He is known as a renowned entrepreneur at a very young age.

Today, his company is exporting a complete solution of lease financing to all parts of the world. He had started developing this unique software for Mercedes Benz back in the late 90s. This software now rules the banking sector all across the globe. His book – Ghauri, From Nothing to Everything – is a combination of his biography as a human being and his key to success as an entrepreneur. This book may be a guidebook for the young generation to excel in the field of business, particularly Information Technology.

In general, no one asks a businessman how many times he failed during his schooling. But Salim Ghauri shares his poor education skills at the very outset of his biography. He says his teachers were annoyed with his poor education skills to the extent that they used to promote him without taking exams. Salim has described in his biography that no one from among his teachers could afford to retain him in his class for more than a year. He himself admits that that he was not a book smart but a street smart child.

In the recent past, leading universities and colleges have been inviting Salim Ghauri as a guest speaker to share his success story with their students. Hundreds and thousands of students, particularly those with an IT qualification, idealize him. “Ghauri” is a gift for all such youngsters who want to establish an enterprise and become successful at the end of the day.
