Supply Chain Management and Marketing

I have always cherished a dream to become an Engineer, a dream that was innate and developed slowly over the years. My dream came true when i did Bachelors in Engineering from UET, Taxila. Mechanical department staff in my university gave a strong support to my feeling saying that “We being the Mechanical Engineering students can make the world and we can move the world”.

The second step was to test my technical skills and gain practical exposure. Attock Oil Refinery gave that opportunity. I worked there for three years, gaining invaluable experience. My technical skills were tested and fine-tuned. During my tenure at Attock Oil refinery I strongly felt that I needed to brush up my managerial skills as well if I want to have a high career trajectory. I needed to add this new dimension in my skill set. As I was also involved in running a family business with my father, this entrepreneurial venture broadened my horizons. I got myself into the world of procurement, production, marketing and sales.

IBA, with its Tag line of “Leadership and Ideas for Tomorrow” gave a perfect platform to overcome my deficiencies and be among the best. With the best faculty available in the country, state-of-the-art facilities, competitive environment, strong brand name and Alumni, I decided to do MBA from IBA.

During my stay at IBA, I have not only honed my professional skills, but also have been able to grow tremendously as an individual, under the guidance of a highly-respectable business sciences faculty. From in-depth analysis of case studies to term reports and project, Guest Speaker Sessions, Study trips within and outside Pakistan, IBA gave me complete picture of our business environment. Working in student clubs and societies, in various seminars and events brushed up my interpersonal skills.

I am looking forward to work for a prestigious organization where my skills can be put to fruitful use, and where I can apply my technical, managerial and interpersonal abilities for achieving mine as well as my employers' goals and objectives.
