It’s hard to imagine that one year has already passed since our graduation. The year 2007-08 was marked with success and triumph for our batch mates all around. More than one-third of the batch is working abroad, 24 of us decided to end their bachelor lives this year making it 40% of the whole batch, while 12% of the batch added new members to MBA 2007 family. The highlight of the year was definitely our much awaited convocation ceremony; the defining moment in our lives that we all worked so hard for!
Here is a one-to-one highlight of last year activities of our batch mates:
Abdul Jawwad joined back his parent department at FBR working in the Tax Payer facilitation and HR Division. He is proud to author a case on FBR for the change management course which is currently being taught to MBA students and at Rausing Executive Center.

Adeel Allawallah is presently working as a Business Planning Analyst at Phillip Morris International also known as Lakson Tobacco Company. He was too lazy to disclose anything else about him.

He has so far exhibited loyalty with the company and has been immensely involved in designing strategies for increasing sales for Gold Leaf though he himself has not yet developed taste for it and hopes to maintain the status quo!
Ahsan Maykan was the last one to join the ‘Wateen – the future is green’ bandwagon but soon realized that the grass is always greener on the other side. After nearly bankrupting Wateen, he is now at Telenor working on TalkShawk. Rumor has it that he is partly to be blamed for the recent campaigns launched for Talkshawk that have been the cause for the 'network busy' messages you may have been getting when dialing.
Ali Abbas Pujanis is helping boost the earnings of Habib Bank A.G. Zurich; Sharjah branch. On the personal front though, in line with his old practices, cost cutting remains the central focus of his life.

Ali Maaz is working for Alghanim Electronics as Product Manager and was instrumental in turning around a poor selling category into a success within his first six months.

He has not lost his appetite for class participation and finance; a constant reminder to whoever is around him.
For Amina Ijaz, the Coke life isn’t turning out to be ‘very chill’ as they claim. Working with Coca-Cola since her graduation, she has survived the jitters of her first major campaign launch, juggled between multiple-brands and bosses, managed to visit five different countries but enjoys free Coke everyday!
Ammar Butt joined his family business soon after graduation. At a time when many of our friends are either looking for or settling down with life partners; Ammar is looking for a tennis partner instead. He’s working on introducing the concept of Online Bicycle Selling in Pakistan. We won’t be surprised to hear our children getting caught for secretly using our credit card on his website in a few years time.
Anwar Kabir works for Lowe & Rauf Lahore as Group Account Director.

Arshad Moazzam became one of the early adopters of parenthood as he was blessed with a daughter last year.

Asad Mahmood got engaged to Amna earlier this year and intends to settle down in holy matrimony soon. He works for Wateen Telecom’s Products and Services division – Data & VPN, holding a simple job description of providing solutions (such as dark fiber, managed capacity, lambda light-up) for Long Haul over fiber optic and Metro Solutions that include WiMAX, Ethernet Bridges, Wireless Radios, VSAT etc. using the IEEE 802.5 communication standards with compliance of the WiMAX 2.0 Forum such that the carrier clients may have uninterrupted traffic on their GSM signaling networks support systems over the Pakistani terrain with the parallel use of the IP/MPLS cloud. To make this all simple, he is an Assistant Manager!
Asad Shafiq is a proud father of a daughter and leads a team of 100+ people. He is working as Account Manager for Supply Chain, a central function providing services to retail businesses at Alghanim Industries.

Ashhad Saeed works at Etisalat as Senior Specialist in the Strategy and Business Development team. He has been contributing well to the department’s profits and has impressed the management.

He is a part of the team which launched the first store and is now planning further expansion across the Gulf.

He has finally discovered how to download torrents and has been detrimental to the bandwidth in Kuwait in the recent past.
Bilal Malik is back to his adventurous professional life. Instead of settling down in the private sector, he has decided to remain unsettled in the public sector; atleast for the time being. His fundamental belief in the System's power to efface the Individual has strengthened.
After two rigorous years at LUMS, Dilafruz took a break for six months before joining Alghanim as Assistant Merchandising Manager. She is glad to be part of a team which is fighting ferociously to increase the sales and profits for Home Furnishing.

Omair is not an advocate of freedom of speech and constantly reminded this to the writer of these lines.
Rabia Tirmezey is in the Structured Products team at Treasury and Capital markets, Mashreq Bank. Finding it somewhat tough initially, Rabia has become accustomed to an all-male environment on the trading floor at work and the idea of living alone at home.

His company has recently given him a brand new Corolla which he profusely uses to roam around in the city of Karachi during the late night hours.
