Hassan Baig of White Rabbit has been a regular guest contributor on TechLahore, so we’re especially pleased to announce today that his company, White Rabbit, just came out with their first Facebook game. It’s called “Feline Frenzy: Robot Wars” and it promises to amuse and entertain. Be sure to check it out! Here are some [...]
This is a great follow-up to my long, painful diatribe on the solitary trials that entrepreneurship subjects you to, and the HR woes you often have to deal with.
Pakistan’s Aysha Saeed, now based in New York, has clearly grappled with the challenges of a small business head on and made it work too! She’s basically [...]
The software industry in Pakistan is still nascent. We started off with grandiose visions, poor execution and bureaucratic nonsense but, to be fair, we’re since covered considerable ground. You may recall that it was Benazir Bhutto, when she was PM, who loudly proclaimed that we would quickly – and magically – build a double digit [...]
This is another guest post from White Rabbit’s Hassan Baig. I hope you’ll enjoy Hassan’s writing as much as I do! More about the author at the end of this piece.

Just recently, we had Hassan Baig from Islamabad based Facebook app [...]
I often get emails from readers that I try to respond to as quickly as possible. A couple of weeks ago, my Inbox binged with an interesting question from an un-named Pakistani hardware engineer (aka Batman). Batman is originally from Lahore but is presently working in Austin, Texas. I thanked Batman for his email and [...]
The following is a guest post submitted by Hassan Baig of Islamabad-based, White Rabbit. More about the author at the end of the post.
Foreword: Social psychologists have long known that any social set-up has a tendency to stifle dissenting voices and bring about conformity. This tendency, seen in the context of the tech industry, can [...]
In a short span of time, I’m doing two posts about the same company. That’s a rarity, but I think it’s well deserved. Products being developed in Pakistan that do well on the international scene make me super excited. So when I heard from the guys at Pepper today and they told me that their [...]
With businesses in the US looking for more and more ways in which they can save money in the current economic climate, interesting new trends in outsourcing are emerging.
