Inheriting a traditional fashion factory in Pakistan:
Raised amidst the rich tapestry of a family-owned garment production business, Shahid Butt now helms his father's empire Shahkam Industries in Lahore, Pakistan. This episode offers a unique perspective on the balancing act between maintaining cultural heritage and embracing the cutting-edge transformations shaping the garment industry today. Shahid challenges preconceived notions of Pakistani manufacturers and invites listeners to reconsider the opportunities in partnering with local manufacturers.
Digitising a factory:
Shahid discussed with Peter the complexities of managing a vertically integrated knitwear operation, a challenge compounded by external factors like fluctuating taxes and environmental limitations. He shares his insights on transitioning from instinctual decision-making to data-driven strategies, revealing the pivotal role of AI and technology in modernising Shahkam Industries. We explore the pressures and privileges of inheriting a family business, as well as running the group's private label One Retail, and Shahid's vision for preparing it for future generations with advanced technological integration.
