In the past few months, Bilal Lakhani has become somewhat of a household name – at least in the elite households of Pakistan. No, he doesn’t strut down ramps, he doesn’t sing for Coke Studio, and he certainly doesn’t host a talk show. But he did something that no other person previously ventured to do in Pakistan. In April 2010, Bilal launched the first local edition of the International Herald Tribune (IHT), for which he earned rave reviews and positive feedback.
Bilal hails from the well-known Lakhani family – the previous owners of Lakson Group and currently the big guns behind Century Publications Pvt. Ltd. (CPPL), a firm that publishes the Daily Express, which is distributed in 11 cities in Pakistan, broadcasts the 24-hour English-language news channel Express 24/7 and a 24-hour Urdu-language news channel.
