Entering into a University and getting an engineering degree in Electronics was one of the greatest achievements of my life, it was like a dream come true. It opened new horizons and increased my learning curve as I discovered innovations that transform the world today and the way it will shape our future. Soon after I graduated, I got a chance to work with Mobile Technology Inc. which gave me a chance to work on different mobile technology platforms and interact with clients all over the world. Based on this experience I got a chance to work with Nestle Pakistan Ltd. where I realized my true potential and decided what to pursue as a career in my life. I worked in the sales department for South Pakistan which gave me an opportunity to travel extensively in different parts of Sindh. However, something was missing in my career in order to get accelerated growth and explore new avenues which was fulfilled only after getting admission in IBA MBA program. Getting admission into this prestigious institute was the greatest of all achievements as it opened doors of opportunities for me. The institute is considered as one the most reputable in Pakistan with its alumni spread across many multinationals not only in the country but outside as well. The rigorous curriculum and interactive class environment built up the confidence and the case methodology added further value in it. The time is not that far when I will be soon graduating and will be highly motivated to apply all the skills, expertise and knowledge I have learnt in this business school. The MBA program has prepared me to work in a challenging environment and I look forward to work in a giant multinational company which is growth oriented and gives me chance to work in a professional environment coupled with new learning and where I will deliver to the best of my abilities for the betterment of organization.
