My encounter with Parvez was during memorable days of BLT projects’ implementation. He used to come and meet in our PTCL office for so many commercial/ technical matters during the Siemens’ project of 95 k lines in Islamabad and Faisalabad regions. I’ll always remember Parvez as one of the most polished, cultured, professionalist, soft-spoken and highly intelligent persons amongst all the vendor reps. I always admired and felt as if his huge wisdom seemed to ooze out, overflowing through his eyes whenever we discussed any business issues. His managerial skills impressed me a lot.
