Mr. Dhedhi strongly believes in the 'first mover advantage' and this philosophy is clearly seen in many of his initiatives. AKD Securities was the first to launch a state-of-the-art Online Stock Trading service in Pakistan and remains the leader in this arena today. The first institutionalized technology venture capital fund in the country was launched by AKD in the year 2000.
