Visionary Banker: Agha Hasan Abedi Kaun Thy? - Podcast with Nasir Baig

Agha Hasan Abedi was born in 1922 in the vibrant city of Lucknow, India, and later moved to Pakistan after partition. His banking career began in the early 1950s, where he quickly rose through the ranks, showcasing his knack for innovation. Abedi's vision led to the establishment of BCCI in 1972, which became one of the largest and most influential banks in the world.
In today's video, we delve into the extraordinary life and legacy of Agha Hasan Abedi, a visionary banker whose innovative approach transformed the banking industry in South Asia and beyond. From founding the Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI) to revolutionizing financial services, Abedi's story is one of ambition, creativity, and impact.
Innovative Banking Practices:
Abedi introduced groundbreaking banking practices that emphasized customer service and accessibility. For instance, BCCI was among the first banks to offer 24-hour banking services, setting a new standard in the industry.
Global Expansion:
Under his leadership, BCCI expanded its operations to over 70 countries, making it a truly global financial institution. This expansion not only provided financial services to millions but also played a crucial role in facilitating international trade.
Focus on Development:
Agha Hasan Abedi was passionate about development banking. He believed in providing loans to projects that would uplift communities and foster economic growth. For example, BCCI financed several infrastructure projects across developing countries, helping to improve living standards.
Controversies and Challenges:
Despite his success, Abedi's career was not without challenges. BCCI faced allegations of fraud and mismanagement in the 1990s, ultimately leading to its downfall. We explore how these controversies affected Abedi's legacy and the lessons we can glean from them.

This is the best podcast of yours. Agha Sb is my ideal. The top 3 of BCCI executives were my father's school friends namely (1) Saleem Siddiqui (2) Sunny Ahmed & (3) Swaleh Naqvi. I am aware of the story of BCCI when Agha SB incorporated it in Luxembourg. Pakistan will never produce a personality like Agha Sb in future, he is the only one.

میرا تعلق بھی ایک ایسی کمپنی سے تھا جو آغا حسن عابدی صاحب کے بہت قریبی رشتہ دار تھے ۔ یہ کمپنی سعودی عرب کے مختلف شہروں میں قائم تھی ۔ جب تک آغا صاحب زندہ رہے تو یہ کمپنی بھی چلتی رہی لیکن 1984 کے بعد ہماری کمپنی کا دیوالیہ نکل گیا کیونکہ BCCI کو بہت سارا سرمایہ مہیا کرنا پڑ گیا تھا ۔ پھر بھی کچھ فائدہ نہیں ہوا ۔ 1992 تک ہماری کمپنی نے ہمیں سنبھالے رکھا لیکن پھر ہمیں آہستہ آہستہ دوسری کمپنیوں میں کام کرنے کی اجازت دینی شروع کر دی ۔ آغا صاحب کی ساری فیملی نہایت شریف اور نفیس الطبع تھی ۔ اس کے بعد نہ تو ہمیں اس معیار کی کوئی کمپنی مل سکی اور نہ ویسی سہولیات ۔ چنانچہ اِدھر اُدھر ٹکریں مارنے کے بعد میں 2001 میں پاکستان واپس آ گیا ۔ مجھے خوشی ہے کہ میں نے اپنی جوانی بہترین طریقے سے بہترین لوگوں میں گزاری تھی ۔ اللّٰہ تعالیٰ آغا صاحب کو جنت الفردوس میں کروٹ کروٹ سکون نصیب فرمائے ۔ آمین

Agha Hasan Abedis biggest mistake was to staff this international bank heavily with Pakistanis. Most Pakistanis hired for this bank were incompetent and came into the bank because of favors. You don’t run an international organization, specially in those days 1960, 70 and 80’s with Pakistanis who were hardly in the international business scene. Most of the hired Pakistanis had hardly been educated abroad or lived abroad. They just enjoyed living overseas with all the percs. I am saying this with personal knowledge of events and people associated with BCCI.

[@arshadasif6185]

Price Waterhouse was the auditors of BCCI from the beginning. The same company became the witness against the bank. It was done by international establishment.
