Interests / quote
I have been very fortunate it have a diverse background in my education and my career. I completed my undergraduate studies in Economics from Indiana University and loved every minute of it. Moving back to Pakistan was always my desire as I wanted to bring all that I had learned abroad over the years back to my country and add as much value back home as I possibly could. I have had the chance to work in a brokerage house, an investment bank, an IT firm, FMCG and a commercial bank, enriching me with the knowledge of how these different industries work. My goal was always to pursue my MBA and complete my education after a few years of work experience. I worked at Standard Chartered for close to three years and then got the opportunity to join IBA to complete my education. Since I had been to university abroad, IBA was going to be a completely different experience and challenge for me, this was something that made me nervous and excited at the same time. Having worked in Pakistan for three years, I have seen first hand advantage which local graduates have, especially IBA students, in terms of market knowledge, social network and the hands on experience which IBA inputs in their students. The alumni network of IBA is also very strong and is spread throughout the world. This is something that all IBA graduates will benefit from in the future and most people do not realize the importance of this factor. Having studied and worked both abroad and in Pakistan, I have met so many different types of people from all over the world, worked with people from the top to the bottom in an organization and at every point I have learned something new. My goal in life is to keep learning and expanding my horizons whether it is in marketing, finance, economics or sales, one can never stop learning and its this attitude that has taken our alumnis to the heights they have reached today and the very attitude that will determine our success tomorrow.
