It is needed in every field. In the rapidly changing world, innovation is the only key to Sustainable development.
Emphasizing the importance of social entrepreneurship especially in this region, Mr. Litman shared examples of two esteemed ladies. Firstly, Dr Ruth Pfau moved from Germany to Pakistan and devoted more than 55 years of her life fighting leprosy in Pakistan and secondly Marie Curie who throughout her life actively promoted the use of radium to alleviate suffering. One of the important lessons which can be drawn from his talk is that in order to become successful in one’s life one should clearly know what one really wants to be and what steps are to be taken to achieve those goals.
Throwing light on what sets apart an entrepreneur from other people, Dr. Muhammad Shehryar Shahid explained that entrepreneurs are ordinary people but with a different mindset .They spot an unfulfilled need of the people and conceive an innovative way to serve that need. Moreover, he explained that entrepreneurs don’t work with pre-defined goals rather they achieve their ends by exploring their means.
Overall, participants deemed the workshop as a good learning experience and ask that such events should be organized to promote innovative entrepreneurial ventures for sustainable economic development of the country.

The Draft of the Business ShopEase is as follows:
Few people in Pakistan either do not have a bank account or they are not comfortable with giving their information online. On the other hand, many online shopping websites only deals with online transactions, not cash on delivery. This becomes a barrier for many people in the way of getting what they want. So there should be an intermediary which can solve the problem of the customers and the suppliers simultaneously. Our company will serve as an intermediary between the two parties who want to make a transaction. On the very basic level, it will make a transaction with the online website and with the customer also. The company will use its own bank account to make a transaction with the seller and then take money from the customer. The customers or people who do not have the facility of credit / debit cards will register themselves on our website and open their account to our website and deposit a fixed amount in it. It can be through bank transfer, overdrafts, easy paisa or they can manually deposit some amount in our account. on our website, we will open their account and when they have to shop online, they will fill a form on the website, which will include certain things, like the website from where they want to purchase, its link, product name, product quantity, product code and all their shipping information. We will place the order for the customers and pay the bills. Then, we will provide the customers with the confirmation mail or message and their balance. The shipping address will be that of the customer’s. We will then, keep record of the customers’ balance in our accounts. The business will earn through commissions from the customers in return of the service we will provide.
