What exactly is Nida Ghauri’s real dilemma?

Nida Ghauri was picked by Sardar Rahim for a particular reason. One of her colleagues at Lahore
University of management sciences work at the investment bank where Nida was employed before
joining CFC. Nida was quite perplexed. Why doesn’t the chand group enter into a technical collaboration
agreement with a foreign partner that will not only provide all the technical information but also allow
the use of their brand name? she inquired from sardar Rahim, chand group does not believe in such, he
smiled as he replied the foreigners do not provide anything more than a few technical drawing and in
return the poor Pakistani partner has to pay them a disproportionate part of revenue for the entire of
the project. But sir this amount to stealing someone’s proprietary material protested Nida. Nida came
out of the meeting after promising her boss that she will talk to shamshad and revert.

Shamshad was quite receptive to the idea of becoming a consultant for CFC, though he said he won’t
use his name for the purpose. Shamshad was to provide the technical data all the rest of the work was
to be done by Nida herself which she was quite competent to handle. Nida could not justify it to herself.
She finally thought of discussing this idea with her husband whose immediate response was that Nida
should not accept this project at all. Sarmad said legally we call it abetting in a crime but there is virtually
no. “yes the law may never find out, but ALLAH will” Nida did not argue any more with sarmad as in her
heart she knew that he was right. However, she found it equally difficult to let the opportunity of
becoming partners in CFC go away just like that, If she refused this assignment. She was in no position to
change the job either as the market for her talent was relatively limited.
