Suneel is a class fellow and friend from LUMS and is as real as they come. Safe to say he is still the same as he was 20 years ago. Keep up the great work. Pak Wheels are the only car videos I enjoy watching.
Lums waale mention karna nahi bhulte.. kahi bhi koi lums wala aaye to niche comment zaroor Anne Hai..
Mam ghar wapsi karlo ….kab tak yeh arabi bimari leke ghumonge…..you parents must be born in the harems of lahori gate and delhi gate😢
Hi, Shehzad.I am from India. I have watched many of your podcasts in last few months. I enjoyed watching few podcasts even when I was not really interested in the topic! When I tried to find reason for that the answer I got is-it is somewhat rare to find person with very good common sense along with good intelligence,good logical mind and who is also concerned about suffering of others. So when I find such a person I enjoy his company even if I am not interested in the topic.Thanks for the podcasts. Please keep on doing the good work.
❤❤❤
Religious superiority complex is so huge in Pakistan that the person has to affirm that alhumdulilah I am not a hindu😮
he was just clearing up misconceptions nothing wrong,an indian shouldnt be talking about religious things tho looking at extremism and dangay in your country.
its a subcontinent thing, in pakistan there is sectarianism, india its caste system
I am complex free...Jaisi karoghi vaisi baroghi
@@hkvlogs1051 it is not first time he is saying this, in previous other podcast also he had repeated the same thing
You’re that one guy who reminds the teacher for a homework.
This is the only thing you noticed from all of the one and a half hour video🤔
Suneel Munj is a simple yet forward person, I like his can-do attitude, he's a guy anyone would love to sit down and have a chat with.
Plus I disagree with a lot of the comments on him being opinionated, I think if you ever have a discussion with him, he'd be more than glad to give you space to talk, acknowledge things in a certain context and associate respectfully.
All in all, a great podcast once again, Mr. Suneel is a remarkable guy, and so are you Shahzad. Hats off.
🙌
Good guy ...a patriotic..respect n prayers 🙏 for him
Absolutely stunning interview. Positive, reakistic, nearest to ground realities . His experience, knowledge MUST BE USED BY PAKISTAN.
First serious podcast by SUNEEL. BTW a great person to lesson to.
Dear friend
This was by far one of the best episodes of your series.
Really well made, well researched and fantastically presented
🙌
I noticed a similarity between Delhi and Lahore. These people speak tap tap tap tap....very rapidly. We just can't cop up being Gujaratis. We speak somewhat calmly and allows others also to speak and listen them peacefully. Shanti se bolna aur sunana.
no one gives a fuk
Suneel bhai, virus and diseases mechanism works the same way as the safety features in cars and working of cars, we are matters on one every basic level. Your doing great job.
I agree with Suneel Munj. We live in a Capitalist world, and the people who run it, engineer ways to make money by exploitation.
One example is that in 1950s and 60s when the Car sale boom hit the US, the big car production companies bought the public transport companies, which ran the trams and metro buses, and shut them down. Nobody did anything to stop it.
In Pakistan there are easy and far cheaper ways to make such maneuvers. Simply buy the head of the government.
I may not be able to explain it 100% but, this interview seemed like an example of "by the book guy" vs "pure on the ground business knowing guy".
Sunil Manj is like, "beta, I tell you how the real world works".
What an amazing guy.. How can you speak at 2x by default and yet make sense in every statement.. loved it.
An eye opening podcast.... suneel's words have me revaluating my whole world view, how can i a agree so much with someone who is capable of so much bongi.
suneel bhai has made me a PTI supporter 🤢..... sorry it will take some time to get used to the thought
Ek Punjabi dusra tajir teesra honest and great sense of humour best podcast material salute from an Indian 🫡🫡🫡
the way you present it is like a theatre or a movie. Excellent Post production and story telling.
Suneel Munj is giving arguments in the context of Pakistan's ground realities
There are so many podcasts of Suneel Manj but this one clearly stands out!
🙌
Don’t wanna sound negative Sheikh Saab trying his best to mold entrepreneurial talk towards siyasi guftago.
Good luck Shehzad just keep on doing your great work.
The biggest irony is the person who is sitting at the top in pakistan would spew hate against India But would buy a Range Rover even though range rover is owned by an Indian Company
Range Rover is not an Indian company per se ,but majority owned by a Indian corporation
@@TubeHumor i did not say it's an Indian company, I said it's owned by an Indian company, please do read my comment once again
@@TubeHumorfyi jaguar Land Rover is fully owned by the Tata group, not just majority, so it’s an Indian owned company of British origin.
Uhhh sorry buddy the ultra elite pieces of shits here don't buy Land Rovers, they straight up buy Mercs and Bentleys through government money lel
@@TubeHumorfully owned not the majority owned
Very difficult to listen to him. He thinks he knows everything ! Well. He doesn’t. The best thing he can do for his own brand is not to represent it himself. Excruciating to listen to him talk.
Truly, couldn't go beyond half hour.
Another candid talk by Sunil. Always spot on.
Much awaited video ❤
❤
again - top stuff - the only suneel manj interview i wanted to see - well done shahzad.
🙌
Suneel is very correct. In USA we have families of two but have 3 cars in house. In my family we are 5 but we have 6 cars. One is big SUV to go out all together.
That school bus idea is already implemented by Peshawar Model School and that too 20 years back.
The main reason of the success of that school was ke unki bus Peshawar ke har gali ke konay tak jaati thi.
The problem with us South Asians is that we get into political and social activism and don’t stick to our profession. Why should he dismiss Covid vaccines? Just because his sales were impacted, he linked his religion to it. This is how we justify our religious stance: if I engage in 10 things against my religion, I will keep quiet. If I do one thing that somehow aligns with our religion in some way, I will drum about it, to show how devout I am.
So according to you hindus also same
@surajpingle7670 - not as much as muslims but yes, some hindus do this. Muslims almost always do it. When you invoke inshallah and mashallah in every sentence, you are prone to being more religious than others.
Love your discussions on how to improve Pakistan... some of these lessons apply to pretty much every developing nation, thats why you see our friends and even enemies lurking here... lol
@@ Shezad. Good to see this podcast featuring SM.
I had written a letter to SM for reviewing my cars. Please i request you to ask SM to atleast reply to my letter.
Peshawar Model school from Peshawar can be taken as a case study for providing the bus service....
Shazad bhai Sunil is a business man and he is absolutely right, from business point of our government responsibllity is to facilitate the businesses and not be a hindrance. Our government creates problems for businesses.
May Allah swt protect and bless this guy ❤ on ground hero = suneel munj sab
Get the BJ 40 guys , such a beauty not exactly in the affordable category but its a good car
Sir, NCP vehicles are allowed/legal in tax free zones such Malakand and GB based on some agreement before their merger into Pakistan.
I have seen Suneel Munj several times now on different podcasts & I have observed that he rarely gives straight answers to the questions being asked. He deviates from the topic often, makes illogical arguments, talks as if he knows everything, but in reality comes across as overconfident & delusional.
For example, when he talks about why people send remittances to Pakistan. Suneel says that they send remittance back to Pakistan because they feel that Pakistan is a land of opportunities. The reality is that their families need that money desperately to get that financial support. It has nothing to do with love for their country. People come back because they do labor jobs & once they make enough money, they come back because they can’t stay in gulf forever without any citizenship rights or property buying rights. Plus at some point they want to stay with their families. Suneel Munj makes a completely illogical & delusional argument in the podcast.
Don’t even get me started on his vaccine stance & not being allowed to vote stance. So ridiculous.
Very good conversation 👌
Suneel manj is a wise man,, Jub b shehzad ne os k falsa ko challenge karnei ka is hara kia tho, suneel ne vahee se topic ko twist de deya.. Great job
My brother is a automotive geek and I remember I asked him back in 2009 who is someone he look upto and guess what whose name he took 😉 SUNEEL MUNJ. Amazing podcast worth watching ❤
❤
very nice podcast. love it

suneel bhai's admiration for Shahzad bhai was epic.... my two favorites of current time in one place... Suneel bhai's knows his stuff and Shahzad bhai is maestro at what he does...
❤❤❤
highly interesting
🙌
Well about the "Sell it for me" service. Its pathetic.
- Their team will trick you into lowering your demand.
- They don't handle the paper work as they claim they do.
July mm recorded and posted now bara hoshyaar hogai ho shahzad bhaii and besttt vlogs in Pakistan🇵🇰
In India Swift is about 6 to 10 lakhs and is a very successful car.... Even if i triple the price because 1Rupee in India is like 3 rupees in Pakistan, then i would be getting 18 to 30 lakh rupees.... But When he said 50 lakh ki milti hai i was like 50 lakh me Swift to koi pagal hi lega.... and this made me realise how expensive Pakistan is.... News me suna tha mehangai hai Pakistan me lekin itni mehangai hogi ye nahi pta tha.....
Fortuner being a 50 lakh car in India, is costing around 20 million in Pakistan
Keep in mind that on the contrary petrol is cheaper here. Both Governments have different models.
@@minamulhaq According to google Petrol in Pakistan is 323 and in New Delhi it is 326 So the difference is very very very very low while when it comes to Car prices, Pakistan is seriously very Expensive.
@@wish-ld9te check history it's been more than 50% cheap and this is one among other reasons as well that depleted forex reserves in Pakistan
@@minamulhaqIn India petrol is taxed to invest in mass public transport which expands economic opportunities for those that cannot afford a personalized mode of transport. What is it used in Pakistan for?
Sunil Munj might be a good car salesmen but his views on many things are quite illogical and far from facts.
He's just a business guy
Pakistan should allow import of 🇮🇳n cars and bikes even 2nd hand instead of importing from china/Japan/UAE..it will save money and bring best vehicles in Pakistan ..govt can earn on import tax
(JUST Last 6 month import 1.6 billion dollar 💵 seems 🇵🇰 is in econ. sucide 💣 r mode)

We are importing cars from japan not china

Suneel is generous, he forgot to add burials and road accidents in the list of 'no service' to non-filers. We need such minds to make Pakistan come on top of the World!
The only auto channel that I follow and the only auto programe that I watch is Pak Wheels Weekly ...Love to Sunil Sir from Delhi 🇮🇳
❤
Is he not the same guy who called India Haramkhor on Tabish show?
Great standard of a public speaker
Seriously ?? India Mei Kya auto channel Kam padh Gaye Hai Kya ??
Kya dekhte ho uncle mtlb inki gaadiya ya rate ya policy khuda jaane aur kuchh dekh liya karo BTW he says India Haramkhor..
Ager inki aslaiyat dhekni h Toh tabish hashmi k sath car wala vlog dhekhna kya soch h inki india k baare me pta chal jayega!
The reason many people choose not to come back and live the rest of their lives abroad is because there is an infrastructure that caters to them unlike in pakistan. And those who come back at a later stage in their life want to spend that enormous amount of money (enormous due to exchange rate) with their family and spend what little time they have left alive with their entire khandaan
Some Indian in the comment said Pakistanis like to buy Land Rover, blah blah blah... first of all if you see our Northern area videos we only use Jeep, and Toyota land cruiser etc, no one uses Land Rover, we used to use Land Rover before the Cruiser came along.
Secondly, Tata may own Land Rover, but its stil not an India company, the top designers, engineers, marketers, etc are all European, British etc and it will remain an English brand.
The only reason TATA owns it is because TATA made a lot of money selling garbage inside India when Indian politicians prevented foreign makers to sell or make in India... So no need to brag, this is not an Indian company, and there is a segement in society that buys them only to drive within the city to malls etc....
Its very ironic Land Rover got sold when so many new designs were on the horizon, with newer technologies, but here in the US, its still not considered reliable, still cannot compete with a Lexus or Toyota etc....
What are you even Bragging about. Even if Tata sells garbage in it's net worth is still more than the GDP of Pakistan. You Don't have any international standing in the world as evident by your 4th weakest passport in the world and a PKR currency which is worse than even toilet paper. So Pakistanis should never talk of reliability and quality. You guys are so incompetent that you had to sell your Washington embassy because u couldn't pay your diplomats. The only achievement you have is having successfully begged IMF record 23 times
Great show! Good job 👌
🙌
what A point.i agree
Every MBA enthusiast shoudl watch it😊

He did not mention the new Cultus or wagonR in best in 1000cc category which I found weird.
Sain love it fantastic
As always , zabardast !! Pakistan me EV-Bikes ke barey me wese kuch discussion miss hoi , Pakistan ke tanazur main EV-bikes zyada relevent hen , EV-car ki nisbat.
Take care of yourself too bro you are asset of our country love you WSK
podcast july mein shoot huwe he . bare late upload ke he
Salam, interesting talk.
Suneel bhai might be from lums but he talks like someone from Lahore school of economics 😅 (I graduated from there as well btw)
I like his old school take on things.
Dear Shahzad How are you doing? Masha Allah you are looking quite smart now! Keep up the good work of conducting very interesting and informative pod casts! May Allah Subhanahu Talah grant you success in your future endeavours.

Agree with suneel bhai on this k during covid shutter ka rate tha. In our market as well ap 50k do shutter khol lo koi kuch bhi nhi kahy ga
❤ Surprised to know that CAR is appreciating asset ❤😂
If you actually look at price of car in dollar terms, it is depreciating. Because our currency depreciates faster then what the car depreciates at, it seems as if car is appreciating .
Petrol costed 11 rupee something in late 80s... Sunil is perhaps talking about diesel
100 % Agree With Suneel Sir 💕💕💕
Audio is a bit choppy and also why is the video quality only available upto 360?
It has still processing 4k and hd
Good setup. The red chairs in previous setup didn't look good
Pakweels is the best platform in Pakistan and possibly in the world
lol cmon dude... you have not travelled the world...
well , this car guy is certain not the most sane person in pakistan. 😬
It is a wonderful interview, was really looking forward to it. Just a little advice for LUMS alumni, stop flaunting the tag all the time. It is a very good university but so are IBA, UET, NUST, GIKI and FAST. This pyramid scheme of alumni and indirect marketing of a particular university should stop! (P.S. this is just a general comment not pointed specifically at sheheryar or sunil, i admire both of them :) )
I agree suneel about Shattar ka rate in pakistan
Suneel bhai bohat he puranay hein mujhay petrol 30 rupees per liter yaad hai 2001 mein
Wonder if i am the only surprised by suneels anti vaccine stance and hyper capitalist views about business. Way more right wing than i expected.
I am not aware of Pakistan day to day working but this gentleman being interviewed looks very opiniated and a little deliusioned and somewhat unwise.
I have seen good personalities in previous episods.
He abused India.. Said haramzada
9:30 no truer words have been spoken
True now every one has cars it hard to chase
Suneel is wrong that everyone that leaves Pakistan eventually returns. Only labour class that go to Gulf countries return because Gulf countries do not give citizenship.
If mayor of London was born in London, then it us because his parents born in Pakistan did not return.
In any case, even if you go by his theory that they return after 40 years adter amassing huge savings, how does that make Pakistan a land of opportunity? They went abroad to earn because for them opportunity to earn in Pakistan did not exist.
He spoke his heart out...........I understood some key facts of car manufacturing industry
1:31:55 Correction: Pakistan government cricket par paisa nahi lagati balke pcb khud hi apna revenue banati hai but agar yeh bat kar rahe hai keh government home tours par tax subsidy deti hai toh baat thek hai
Dr Suneel Munj Automotive specialist.
Good informative podcast without taking political party name. Good job, Ghias saab.
🙌
Really loved the 3D sound effect but sadly lasted for few seconds only, maybe he is prototyping something new
Till maruti Suzuki came, indian cars used to appreciate in prices just like pakistan. after 2000 depreciation became a thing.
This was to due to supply and demand and maruti produced shit ton of cars making a selers market a buyer's market
very good video but the host for some reason keeps interrupting guests while talking. Please try to improve on that aspect if possible.
Not saying Shehzad is a person without critical thinking, but he could have prepared better to ask good questions. I noticed there were so many instances where he could have brilliant questions related to automobile industry, but he was focusing more on morality and ethical dilemmas!!
Suneel is giving not the theoretically but the real problems our country faces
Only watched this podcast because I am a fan of suneel bhai, warna yeh samnay martban ke munh wala mujhe raj ke zehar lagta ha
He said future of car is electric 😂😂😂... In India we are working on hydrogen fuel. 😂😂
This guy is clear example of half knowledge ...in india atleast 20 serivces which proved this service
Which service are you talking about? If you are talking about car first then as a Pakistani, I must agree with what he says because these car buying startups criminally undervalued used cars and there was literally no point to sale the car to them at a below market-standard rate when you could get a way higher rate by posting the ad online as he mentioned.
@@shapackgaming4629 online car selling ...we have olx, zoom, cardekho, cars24, so on.....i dint get what is extraordinary in this ..why to take his poscast..
He is talking about within Pakistan, not outside.
Any chance of podcast with Junaid Akram ?
Iska fadda hai uske sath, nahi layega use ye podcast mein...

With all respect to Suneel bhai, it's a shitty argument to say if god wanted was to wear mask, he'd have make us born with one.
Exactly then why wear seatbelts or have airbag in car?
He doesn't wear a seatbelt because Allahmiya didn't give birth with seatbelt. 😂
yar lalay tumahri ye cross-questioning or hazir-jawabi wali game bwt strong hai
❤
Gotta say that Suneel has probably the most controversial views among all the guests on the podcast. Specially the views regarding vaccines and women not wearing hijab are really disappointing.
Income tax is immoral. Income tax is slavery. If someone is earning money then consumption of that money, most likely, will also happen sales tax is on consumption while income tax is on labour.
Insane take
