Interests / quote
Being a person with an amiable personality, an analytical mindset and appreciating the significance of ‘staying connected,’ the field of connected networks has always held considerable interest for me. Getting into FAST and pursuing my graduate degree as a Telecommunications Engineer was hence, a dream come true. After that there was no looking back. Opening doors to a number of arenas, I found myself deeply involved in learning and discovering its innovations that transform the world into how it operates today, and the ways it is going to shape our future. Right after I graduated, I got a chance to work with Multinet Pakistan, a subsidiary of Axiata group and commenced my work with some of the renowned telecommunication companies. What accentuated this process of learning was continuous travelling to all regions of Pakistan, which included remote parts of all the provinces. At that point in time, I realized that in order to progress my career, I needed a broader perspective particularly in terms of how businesses are run and evolve. In order to accelerate my career progression, doing an MBA seemed to be the natural route. This proved to be a turning point in my life, as this decision led me to IBA, one of the oldest and best business schools in Pakistan. IBA is not only an institution where everyone aspires to be, it’s a place that in actuality transforms your mindset and enhances your knowledge by challenging you at every level and at the same time giving you a flavor for what the practical field entails for you. Furthermore, the presence of similar dynamic individuals, including the faculty and the students who can share their knowledge with you at every step, makes it worthwhile. Such versatility within an institution translates into individuals who have the required knowledge of professional life and know how to get work done. Now that I will be graduating soon, I want to utilize the skills I have learned previously and accept new challenges in a demanding environment that stimulates the same level of interest in me as my previous work did. As I see the vast number of opportunities ahead in various industries, I hope to see myself in a growth oriented organization, preferably an elaborate multinational company, and develop a relationship with it which will be mutually beneficial for both of us.
