I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for the incredible experience I had with LAAM. I recently purchased from LAAM , and I am absolutely delighted with every aspect of my purchase.

I’m a regular customer of Laam and I always receive exactly what I order; which means they only have original brands on board. Keep up the good work Laam 👍🏻

Loved the conversation. I like the optimism backed by rationale and data. In 2018, I started a business (PakistaniFashionOnline) with similar vision, focused on the North American market (eventually had to close down last year). Our research at that time showed that the Pakistani designer market was heavily dependent on overseas Pakistani buyers. I heard about Laam at that time, that there was a startup selling custom and high-end Pak fashion clothing in US. I always believe for textile specially high cotton % products, Pakistan has unmatched potential. It can become the Shein of the world in that segment. It has deep capacity unlike any other industry. The current industry has to connect with Laam and alike young startups to bridge the gaps. Thanks Muzamil and Arif again.

Arif if you are reading this.... Pls add some product information at your website....there are 10k,20k products with just size buttons like S ,M,L,XL... no product info like fabric type , or model length or product design types....this info is very crucial for a buyer....

@ArifIq 9 ай бұрын

Nitish: Thank you for your feedback. We have a section called Product Description where we display all product information like fabric, work technique, color, etc. But from your feedback, it definitely feels that we need to improve its visibility. We will definitely work on it. We don't currently have information like model length etc. in the system today but we will see if we can bring it. Thank you again for the valuable feedback.

Appreciation and so much respect for the experience you have. But would you mind answering the claim with factual stats that LAAM is the biggest supply chain management company of Pakistan and currently doing it in just 3 years of its age??

I have been following your podcasts regularly as I get insight for my Entrepreneurship classes at the undergraduate level. Since I am now at the far end of my life, I wish if I were a member of GEN Z, I would have capitalized on the lessons learned from these kinds of Podcasts. Still, I feel fortunate as I am able to share the experiences of these professionals with my GEN Z. It certainly is going to take time to make the GEN Z realize their potential as they are more into taking everything for granted. Still, it is motivating for me to see them doing very well in their careers and return to me acknowledging my efforts to help them hone their skills in the right direction. Keep up the good work going as "When the going gets tough, the tough gets going" .

Excellent podcast as usual. Why Mr. Muzamil Hasan keeps giving his opinion during interviews with every guest is beyond me. Well here arethe latest Chanel numbers " Chanel reported $17.22 billion in revenue for the year ending December 31, 2022. This was a 17% increase from the previous year. Chanel's profits were $5.78 billion, a 5.8% increase. "

@mirpurya9848 9 ай бұрын

Because that is what a Podcast is. Its not an interview its a conversation between two people, and a conversation means sharing opinion as well.

@MrOracle01 9 ай бұрын

100% but when the host of a podcast gives facts without really knowing them, it's just annoying. I think Mr. Hasan is stretched too thin. The guests are experts in their subject matter. With over 370 podcasts with a range of guests, Mr. Hasan keeps making the same mistakes. He should stay inn his lane.

I start ordering from LAAM in 2020 and LAAM introduced me all the top designers in Pakistan I ordered in November 2020 and got my clothes in November 2023 after one year that was just fine as all the outfits were as I want them fitting, length lining and I ordered five times with them and they were always there to answer and response to my call but just recently HSY interduce his new collection collaborate with LAAM and I ordered from LAAM but much to my surprise they don't pick or call back as I m overseas and have to give instructions for shipping but even they told me don't send massages' as they overlaps with your last massage and I try to send email and they said don't send email , LAAM is a customer service and they act like a middle man in between customer and retailer if they can't answer or response then how they will meet the customer need ? Mr Arif Iqbal is worked in so many big companies and even he was in US he must know how to provide a good customer service ,beside when ordering online there should be a option to pick up LAAM location so all the orders can be collect in one place and then customers choice to deliver locally or internationally
