Jazz – The Success Story:

Jazz’s journey of 25 years is worth sharing. Jazz started its operations as Mobilink- a joint venture between Saif group and Motorola in the early 90’s who later sold it to Orascom Telecom, an Egypt-based multinational company. The Company was later sold to VimpelCom Group (now VEON Ltd.), a Russian Company and has remained a part of it till now.

In the days when no ecosystem existed, the company started its journey as a startup. The company is led by the original founding executive, Aamir Ibrahim and has maintained its brand name throughout its history. With the vision to connect masses, the telecom operator kept on improving quality while keeping the delivery consistent. Over the years, Jazz has been trying hard to create a technology-centric human resource base by training ICT managers and experts. This has allowed Jazz to make key business decisions that meet the specific business needs of its ever-growing customer base.

In the span of 25 years, Jazz has created a host of successful relationships with the public sector. The most outstanding and successful collaborations include:

  • Empowering startups at the National Incubation Center (NIC)
  • Introduction of a digital policy framework for the Government of Pakistan titled ‘Accelerate to a Digital State’
  • Jazz Smart Schools programme

Since its inception, Jazz has also invested USD 4 billion on infrastructure development and expansion, spectrum auctions, human resource development and community services. Over the years, Jazz has remained the number one choice of customers due to excellent network coverage joined with its fair and competitive commercial packages.
