Dr. Shehryar Shahid is an Associate Professor of Entrepreneurship at LUMS, where his work sits at the intersection of entrepreneurship, innovation, SMEs, and how businesses grow in emerging economies. His years in academia have been spent not only teaching future entrepreneurs, but researching the realities they eventually step into.

What makes his journey even more interesting is that he has never been limited to the classroom. As a business practitioner himself, he brings the realities of building, operating, and scaling businesses into his academic work, and takes what he learns through research back into industry.

That combination is rare. An academic who studies entrepreneurship, teaches it, and continues to experience it firsthand.

A perspective built over years, and definitely one worth listening to.

We need to celebrate our own local heroes rather than praising others. The fix starts with showcasing role models right here at home—for every gender and every community, not just a select few. We need to honor our local achievers, our homegrown products, and our institutional leaders so our youth can see success that looks like them.

15 years ago, people didn’t come to academia by choice.

Nowadays, it’s flipped, whoever doesn’t land a job in industry ends up teaching in academia instead.

Entrepreneurship isn’t as fun as it looks. It’s a hard call.

To build something sustainable, you have to survive the trough of sorrow first. Most people only see the finish line, not the years it takes to get there.

Ask students what pressures them most, and family pressure tops the list.

The fix starts with showcasing role models, for every gender, not just a select few. We need to celebrate our local heroes and our local products, so kids can see success that looks like them.

The heroism we attach to entrepreneurship is the wrong model to begin with.

We watch Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and only see the highlight reel. We conveniently ignore how brutal the early stages actually were. People only want the celebrated story, not the years of struggle that came before it. Early-stage entrepreneurship isn’t glamour, it’s a bypass through sorrow.
