PERSONAL STATEMENT
Coming from thousands KMs to IBA-Karachi was a major decision that 
I took in my life mainly because of two reasons. First was networking as 
IBA's long establishment guarantees the strong alumni bond with the 
corporate world. Secondly to develop the deep insight and know-how of 
business world, one should be well primed for any unforeseen change 
and to tackle that paradigm shift, business schools are using the right 
technique that is ‘Case Method of Teaching’. This method allows you to 
have a strong grasp on every aspect of business world prior to real life 
experiences, which was a main purpose to pursue an MBA degree. 
IBA has a distinctive approach of teaching especially for business 
students and that is bridging the academic paradigms with the corporate 
world, faculty from corporate world instill their experiences and make 
the students understand the most relevant paradigms rather than 
relying only on bookish material.
My professional experience started with a construction company back in 
2010; because of Saith (Sole Owner) culture the company wasn’t utilizing 
its full potential. I joined the company with a distinctive perspective, 
which was to make it one of the best by introducing some new 
paradigms, and I successfully did. The change process started by setting 
corporate strategy, well-defined hierarchy, proper marketing, formal 
structures and systems. All of those changes gave a boost to the company 
and we’d become partners majorly with World Food Program (WFP), The 
Asia Foundation (TAF), and International Organization of Migration 
(IOM). After one successful triumph I decided to move to some superior 
and broader organization where I can further enhance my personal and 
professional skills, and I was offered an opportunity at Lahore 
University of Management Sciences (LUMS). Working at country’s 
prestigious executive development center (REDC) and building the 
networks with students, and executives broaden my sense of purpose. 
Realizing the purpose enhanced my dedication and hence I aligned my 
goals with the organization and consequently REDC became partner 
with several new national and international companies including 
Printcare-Sri Lanka, Telenor Pakistan, Hush Puppies Pakistan, and 
Lucky Cement Pakistan.
I believe in the open system theory, which says quality inputs produce 
quality outputs, that is rich principles of portfolio in any organization 
while constantly putting significant individual efforts in order to make a 
purposeful organization, which will sustain for centuries.
