I started working at Mobilink in 2012 as a driver where my usual assignment was with Mr. Ghazanfar Azzam, the CEO. One day he asked me if I wanted to do something different, I asked him what he would like me to do and he asked me if I’d like to try selling the “Commercial Vehicle Loan” product. That day changed everything for me, I found it quite challenging in the beginning but the CEO kept pushing me and continued reassuring me, helping me believe I could achieve anything. I’m really happy that he did because today I am working as a Relationship Manager at the Rawat branch of MMBL. My story truly speaks volumes of the culture of our bank. If you have what it takes, the management will do everything to support you and make sure that you succeed.

My journey with MMBL began in 2013 while I was in search of exciting challenges in my career. I started as a humble Risk Associate, a role that helped me understand the organization’s strategic goals more deeply. As I learned more, I grew hungry for excellence by pushing myself out of my comfort zone. I was then offered a role in Branchless Banking, where I am currently the Executive Manager, which opened up brand new avenues for me.

Through innovative initiatives and fruitful partnerships, I have spearheaded remarkable progress in the company and am honored to be a small part of the organization’s journey through the years. I hope my story serves as an inspiration for aspiring women in the corporate world because I truly believe that once one sets one’s mind to something, nothing can get in the way.
