Rank: 1 Company Profile:

Company Overview: In 2004 at the age of 24, Sardar Hayaat Muhammad Khan Mandokhel set out to establish an IT and Telecommunications company to serve international clients, but the post 9-11 environment made this extremely challenging. With options significantly limited, many Pakistani entrepreneurs were forced to consider in-country activities such as construction and agriculture. Leveraging his business degree and background in IT, Sardar Mandokhel established Exceed to be a highly efficient turnkey construction services provider. Exceed undertakes planning, design, development and construction. Best known for its Saidpur Model Village project developed as an 18th Century city-museum, Exceed has attained the capacity to design and build some of the largest mega projects in roads, bridges, dams and housing. Exceed has built its reputation on delivering high quality and technically complicated projects, and now was partners in countries including Canada and China. I believe that one of the ways I can contribute to Pakistan, particularly on government projects, is to set a very high standard of quality and delivering projects on time. Especially on critical projects that affect peoples lives, there should be no delays. Also launched by Sardar Mandokhel is M/S Open World Communications which offers Cable TV and network services to thousands of subscribers in Islamabad. Only 30 years old, Sardar Mandokhel is not satisfied. In 2011, Exceed plans to launch schools in major cities of Pakistan, as well as a seafood packaging plant.

Company Overview:
After 25 years of experience in government and the private sector, three university friends got together and founded Micronet Broadband in 2001, and in 2004 together founded NayaTel, now with over 500 employees. The co-founders conceived the idea of a most modern telecom network, and Nayatel launched South Asia's first fiber to the home (FTTH)/fiber to the user (FTTU) network in Islamabad in 2006. This state of the art fiber wiring serves 6,000 home and company users, and is key to providing the countrys capital city with a robust telecom infrastructure. Covering over 90% areas of Islamabad and business areas of Rawalpindi Cantonment, Nayatel's network offers ultra broadband Internet, modern telephony and digital video services to business and home users centers. Says co-founder Mr. Wahad, Siraj Nayatel looks forward to supporting many IT entrepreneurs, expanding our services to other cities, and providing the country with a robust and reliable telecom infrastructure. Going Beyond The Call Of Duty The IT hub of Pakistan faced its toughest situation in 2008 when a bomb blew up the Marriott Hotel including the software technology park next door which had its infrastructure destroyed. In the middle of chaos, Nayatel being the only fiber optic network service in the capital city, helped many of the companies with emergency help over the weekend and had them up and running on Monday. Most of the IT companies that were up and running immediately after the blast were because of Nayatel.

Our strategy was to develop a small number of anchor relationships and grow with those firms. Arpatech develops innovative solutions for complex problems, and they do this by aligning themselves closely with their clients. Focusing on deep relationships with a select number of customers is often counter-intuitive to a fast-growth business model, but this was key to gaining and international clients post 9-11 and sustaining those relationships in spite of turbulence in Pakistan. Arpatech looks to grow by focusing on incubating ideas and taking those to market. They are also looking at setting up a second office in Malaysia or the Middle East.
