The Axact counterattack in the replies follows the same defective logic in reverse. An Indian company’s conduct is not cleared because a Pakistani company was accused of wrongdoing, and Pakistan’s entire software sector is not erased by invoking a notorious credential controversy. Assertions about Axact’s precise industry ranking or institutional endorsement need their own records; they do not answer the present employer questions by repetition.

There is a practical Pakistani response available. Firms can make qualification verification a selling point, require work samples and technical interviews, retain an auditable record of subcontractors, and avoid promising migration outcomes they cannot control. A developer who can demonstrate a working system offers a stronger answer than a recruiter displaying a stack of impressive-looking certificates. Credentials matter, but they should support demonstrable competence rather than replace it.
