If Pakistan make 400 and restrict England to 112, they can still qualify.
In a letter to Punjab’s acting chief minister, the Pakistan Software Houses Association for IT and ITES (P@SHA) demanded that the IT industry be spared from the decision to close offices and enterprises while the state suffers from severe smog.
Information technology and software service exports will be impacted by a company closure, according to a letter written by Chairman P@SHA Muhammad Zohaib Khan.
He explained why it was detrimental that the province administration had ordered “restricted movement” in the area:
- *Disruption to IT Exports*: The restricted movement in the primary hub of IT exports will halt operations, leading to failure in meeting international clients’ deadlines, which can result in substantial financial losses and contractual penalties.
- *Damage to Brand Pakistan*: The interruption in services will tarnish the international image of Pakistan as a reliable IT service provider. This damage to reputation is long-lasting and far more challenging to repair.
- *Customer Distrust*: Our global clients rely on our promise of continuity and reliability. An unforeseen shutdown of IT services will breed customer distrust and lead to clients seeking services from other countries, resulting in a loss of business in the short term and potentially a reduction in foreign IT investments in the long run.
If Pakistan make 400 and restrict England to 112, they can still qualify.
The P@SHA executive pleaded with the Punjab government to promptly amend the notice and exempt contact centers, IT exporters, and associated companies from this decree. He suggested allowing IT companies to carry on with their business under stringent health and safety guidelines, just as they were during the pandemic.
Now, the provincial administration has changed its order in response to P@SHA’s plea.
