Amid the gloom, Mian Muhammad Mansha appears to be the sliver of hope, often termed as the Mukesh Ambani of Pakistan.

Mukesh Ambani is one of the richest men in Asia. He is synonymous with economic progress. He has played a major role in India's growth story. Mansha is known as the Mukesh Ambani of Pakistan as he is the richest Pakistani in the world.
