Having Economics as my major in undergrad, I came to appreciate the complex interconnectivities of economic and political forces impacting the business environment. Post my undergraduate, working as a trainee officer in various roles at Standard Chartered Bank enabled me to experience the impact of those forces on business in my capacity to handle customer accounts. However I always felt the need to have more to grow through the organization structure in the long run.

Having Economics as my major in undergrad, I came to appreciate the complex interconnectivities of economic and political forces impacting the business environment. Post my undergraduate, working as a trainee officer in various roles at Standard Chartered Bank enabled me to experience the impact of those forces on business in my capacity to handle customer accounts. However I always felt the need to have more to grow through the organization structure in the long run.
That thirst for career-growth could only be quenched by understanding and learning about the corporate and business environment. In order to grasp knowledge and skills to understand the business, MBA was a requirement. Getting admission in IBA was one of my greatest achievements. IBA being the oldest and one of the most reputable institutes of Pakistan has alumni spreading across the businesses.
IBA's MBA program provided me exposure to a multitude of personalities including engineers, finance graduates, business graduates and mathematicians. The diverse range of experiences and knowledge base made me appreciate the varying point of views and logical reasoning. Thus learning was never confined to the classroom. In addition the rich work- experience of instructors at IBA helped us in relating the case studies to current situations, being able to enjoy the immense knowledge of real life practical scenarios, analyzing and continuously questioning the situations.
I see myself in a growth oriented organization, working in a challenging environment. I want to test my theoretical skills by blending those skills with the practical scenario and processes. The constant buzz and busyness of treasury sales inspires me. I want to get into the depth of understanding the business, State Bank rules and regulations regulating the process, back- end working to front-end customer dealing etc.
