Genesis of The Prism Services
The Inception of The Prism Services: A Journey of Transformation
It’s remarkable how a simple feeling, an idea, and a concerted effort can set in motion a significant change—a snowball effect of sorts.
The feeling of being stuck and in need of guidance marked the beginning. As I embarked on my journey pursuing a BBA-Hons degree, my focus was clear: to carve out a successful career in advertising. However, as my aspirations evolved, so did my career trajectory. Over the span of three years and through eight different career moves, I found myself at a crossroads. It was then that my elder brother’s advice led me to explore Human Resources—an opportunity for which I remain eternally grateful.
With little understanding of what HR entailed, I found myself selected in the second interview. It was there, under the guidance of my first mentor, that I discovered my knack for HR work. This newfound success ignited a spark within me—the feeling I had been searching for.
This feeling birthed an idea that would change everything. Recognizing the value of providing guidance, I began offering career counseling services in 2005. Fueling my passion further, I delved into a free course on Career Management offered by Harvard, eventually counseling thousands of students by 2012.
In 2003, my journey led me to Saudi Arabia, where I witnessed firsthand the immense potential of Pakistani talent and the support available to expatriates. It was a revelation that underscored the need for structured efforts in career management. Thus, The Prism Services was conceived in 2014, by the grace of Allah.
Initially envisioned as a career management company, we faced challenges in generating funds due to the novelty of the idea. To adapt, we expanded our portfolio to include Human Capital Solutions.
For me, The Prism Services embodies my life’s purpose—a means of serving my people and mankind. Starting from humble beginnings—a single computer—we have grown into a thriving company, a testament to Allah’s blessings.
The Prism Services is more than just a business; it’s a social response to disparity—a vehicle for empowering individuals to learn, earn, and connect better with society. Our mission is to instill conductivity in society—a silent yet effective revolution.
Please keep us in your prayers as we continue on this journey of empowerment and transformation.
