Led a 12 student team in organizing a small university based event called "The Joker's Trap" as a requirement of the event management course. The Joker's Trap was designed to be a quiz show with a rather unique sinister and melancholic theme inspired from the Batman Series and Dead Silence in which teams would be competing each other for the grand prize. Considerable hard work and efforts were put in planning and organizing props, certificates and stage for the quiz show.

Thesis and Research
Conducted research on financial innovations in Pakistan and U.A.E. Thesis was submitted on May 2012 as a part of the undergraduate program. In the thesis, customer satisfaction in banking services was explored on a comparative basis using the SERVQUAL model. Since both countries comprise of different ethnicities and cultures, it does affect the perception of customer about service quality. Questionnaires were drafted and distributed among bank customers as a part of research.
Data analysis was conducted using SPSS Software Version 12 using factor analysis (Orthogonal rotation, Varimax) as to assess the various aspects of service quality deemed most important to customers in both countries. Results showed that in UAE; assurance, reliability and responsiveness was valued the most. Whereas in Pakistan, a mixed response was elicited for empathy and responsiveness followed by reliability and assurance. The study has future implications on managerial decision making process, helping managers decide which aspect of service quality should be focused on the most. Culture bias does play an important role in the research. In fact firms which can discern which aspects of service quality to emphasize on are better able to deliver greater levels of customer satisfaction. Copy of the thesis can be procured from SZABIST Dubai after seeking approval.
