“I had started the company with Rs3.2 million in 1977,” recalled Dawood in an interview with The Express Tribune. “It was the biggest challenge in early stages; we never wanted to become a consultancy firm only; we wanted to become an integrated engineering company,” Dawood said. From there, the company started its success journey. Afterwards, Descon won a small project in Abu Dhabi by offering a bid at 30% lower rates. “That was a small project of 16 days; I didn’t make any money, but that project paved the way for winning other projects,” he said.
