The Career Placement & Industrial Liaison Office at Salim Habib University is excited to bring to you Backpack to Briefcase - a series of Alumni Success Stories.

The first of these features Maarij Ahmed Qureshi, BBA Graduate, Class of 2022, who is now a Retail Supply Chain Analyst at Ideas by Gul Ahmed.

This is what Maarij has to say about his journey from campus life to corporate life:

"All we have heard is:

1. Life is a roller coaster ride

2. Your network is your net worth

Let me assure you that both of these statements are true and not simply expressions. Throughout my time at SHU, I tended to gravitate toward extracurricular activities, and worked directly with Student Societies both as a member and an Office-Bearer, which shaped my personality. It may be debatable, but your network and personality are just as important as your scores.

Working with top professionals at the renowned fashion and retail brand Ideas by Gul Ahmed as Retail Supply Chain Analyst today is an exciting experience, and I am thankful to everyone who has contributed significantly to my growth."

Maarij, we are extremely proud of all that you have achieved already and wish you all the best for the future!
