Job Experience
I started out by giving my father a ‘helping hand’ in his
company Telematics
International during the late 1980s. My purpose then was to
familiarise myself with the environment in
which trading companies work.
My first
experience with a multinational company was in June
1993, when I had joined the Finance

purchases of Foreign Currency

Contribution in Total Sales for certain destinations via PIA Flights

duration for this Internship was 8 weeks.
I did not do any Internships during 1994 because I was
studying for my finals for the BCom exams.
In February 1995, I joined the
Marketing Department of CitiCorp Investment Bank of Pakistan Ltd of CitiBank N.A.
Here my major projects were :
Preparing a target market
list for issuing of Term Finance Certificates, Certified Term Finance
Certificates, and Demand Promissory Notes

ratios such as Interest Coverage, Cash Coverage, ROE, Current Ratio,
Pre-tax and Post-tax margins, Leverage and Cash Cycles of target companies

all Financial Institutions, Corporations, Charitable Institutions,
Insurance Companies, Government Organisations, and other potential
customers
Updating clientele records by keeping in touch with
client companies
The duration for this Internship
was 10 weeks.
My third Internship was in Reckitt
& Coleman of Pakistan from February 1996
till April 1996. Here I had joined the Planning and Finance Department.
My main responsibilities were:
Budgeting and
Standard Costing in my capacity as an ICMA Part 3 qualified
Report
Writing
Assisting the Planning Department in preparing
presentations for the Management
Identifying Cost Departments and
allocating costs to those centres

Future Plans..
Well…. My PhD plans are far away, so I'll take one step at a time. My intentions are to excel in the field of business and to establish my image as hardworking, honest and result-oriented.
My Favourite Sports
I call myself the jack of all sports.
Cricket ranks as my favourite sport and I played
for my school team back in Ordinary levels. Table
Tennis has stuck like glue ever since I started playing the game in
class 9. Even now, in LUMS, there’s nothing like a tough game of Table
Tennis to cheer me up. Other favourite sports are Swimming and Volleyball. I
recently participated in the LUMS Volleyball championship and hurt more
fingers than I ever have before !!!! I’ve played a bit of Field Hockey, Soccer and Basketball for my school before my O’ level
examinations. Have also played Squash in a local
club.
Life at LUMS
How does 140 hours a week sound like to you? That’s 20
hours a day !!! And that is for how long we study at an average !! Guess
what our teachers have to say about this… they say if we find sleep for
more than 2 hours… they aren’t giv
ing us enough work !!!
