The Fauji Industrial Complex (FIC) refers to the Pakistan military’s expansive and controversial business empire, encompassing industries such as real estate, manufacturing, and energy. Critics argue this vast commercial network blurs the line between military and civilian spheres, concentrating economic power within the military, reducing transparency, and undermining democratic governance by allowing the military to exert substantial influence over Pakistan’s economy and policies.
Many believe the Fauji Industrial Complex (FIC) distorts Pakistan’s economy by allowing the military to control major industries, limiting fair competition and civilian oversight.

Get the Fauji Industrial Complex (FIC) mug.The term coined by Sadagopan Singam refers to the self reinforcing ecosystem of research firms, consulting companies, analysts, and influencers that shape and often amplify corporate narratives - especially around emerging topics like GenAI, Digital Transformation,ESG and Innovation Strategy etc. It represents how these players mutually benefit from creating frameworks, maturity models, buzzwords, and “thought leadership” which companies feel compelled to adopt, often without sufficient diligence or grounding in real business impact!
The strategy industrial complex thrives on fear based messaging - if you are not on the latest trend, you are behind - creating a self sustaining demand for playbooks and advisory services!

However, a lot of funeral homes are owned by large business corporations. These businesses aim to efficiently make money.
Functions and factors that help generate revenue include:
- A lack of information on how much funerals should cost, and what rights you have as a consumer.
- Selling preneed. This may be focused towards being sold to the elderly. Preneed may contain fine text designed to obligate ones family to pay specifically for the agreed upon services with possible limited flexibility, thus secure future revenue for the home.
- Casket rooms can be designed in such a way as to force families to view expensive, "good looking" or "fitting" caskets as opposed to more affordable, but less impressive ones, often in less desirable colors as to influence more desirable casket choices.
- Bundling services that make consumers feel like they are saving more by buying more.
- Subtle gestures such as saying (deceased's name) deserves more (perhaps a grander service or better casket or burial).
- Also note the significant psychological state of the consumer, who may be dealing with unbearabke grief.
See the 1978 FTC report on funeral homes, the research done by the funeral consumers alliance, and other resources and articles done on your local death industry. Of course, not every home is coporate or "greedy".
