Summary

I started my career as out door clerk in 1996 and learnt basic freight forwarding knowledge during performing out door activities. Afterward I was promoted to an executive for documentation and customer services in the same company "Bismah Shipping Agency".

When I was completing my initial 4 years I tried to search a job in other company and by the Grace of Allah i got a job in a company named DMK Logistics (Pvt) Ltd. a sister concern company of Raaziq International. I worked there for 4 years and got good knowledge of export documentation and manifestation etc.

That was the time when I was offered from my current company Waterlink Pakistan (Pvt) Ltd. and today I have spent 18 years here.
