When I joined SDSB LUMS, I didn’t just enter a classroom—I stepped into a world that challenged everything I thought I knew. I met people from finance, engineering, arts, and tech—with perspectives so different from my own creative background. Through case-based discussions, presentations, and intense group work, my communication and public speaking improved faster than I ever imagined.

Campus life was vibrant—late-night jam sessions at Jammin’ Java, deep conversations over chai at khoka, and friendships that became family. I found mentors in alumni and faculty; my LinkedIn network expanded organically. I had imposter syndrome at first—sitting in a room full of high-achievers, I often wondered, “Do I belong here?” But each time I spoke up, pushed a case, presented a project, I felt more confident. These two years remade me.

Today, I’m not just a content creator turned MBA graduate—I’m a business professional equipped with strategic thinking, real-world problem-solving, and a global mindset. If you’re feeling stuck, craving growth, or ready for a bold career pivot—this is the rite of passage. SDSB LUMS didn’t just give me a degree—it transformed me.

I chose the SDSB-LUMS MS Supply Chain and Retail Management programme for its strong reputation, industry connections, and hands-on learning approach. The focus on innovation, leadership, and real-world case studies aligns with  my career goals, providing the skills needed to excel in the dynamic field of supply chain management. 

LUMS Business School stands out as Pakistan’s premier institution, and this program allowed me to pursue a Master's degree while maintaining a full time career. Classes were thoughtfully scheduled—alternate weekend sessions, alternating between in-person and online—providing the perfect blend of flexibility and rigor. This structure empowered me to simultaneously deepen my academic knowledge and advance professionally, ensuring meaningful growth in both arenas.

The SDSB-LUMS MBA experience is one that I would recommend to others because it is the right place to grow not just professionally, but personally as well. This programme challenges you to push your boundaries and step outside of your comfort zone so that you realise your full potential. The faculty, the curriculum and the pace of the programme are one that can truly transform coal into diamonds, because a year ago I was not the same confident and ambitious person that you see today, thanks to my time here at LUMS.

Coming from a pure science academic background, I wanted to diversify my knowledge base and develop a strong understanding of business, strategy, and leadership. The SDSB-LUMS MBA Programme stood out as the ideal platform to make that transition. I was particularly drawn to LUMS’ reputation for producing well-rounded, impact-driven leaders and the strong network it provides across industries in Pakistan and beyond. I knew that LUMS would not only equip me with the technical skills needed to thrive in the business world but also offer the mentorship, peer learning, and professional exposure necessary for holistic growth.

This program fundamentally changed the way I think. The case-based learning approach pushed me to step out of a linear problem-solving mindset and truly explore different, innovative ways to tackle complex healthcare challenges. The classroom discussions were rich and dynamic, often mirroring real-life scenarios I would later encounter in my professional journey.

What stood out most was how the program equipped me not just with knowledge, but with a new way of thinking, one that emphasizes systems-level insight, critical analysis, and innovation. It gave me the tools to approach real-world problems with confidence and creativity. Without hesitation, this program has played a significant role in accelerating my career and expanding my impact in the healthcare space.
