Ph.D , University of Peshawar (2006) in Business and Industry
Research Interest:  My broad research interests are related to enterprise valuation including the micro enterprise and informal sector as mean to employment generation and capital formation. Related to value addition & linkages in enterprises & production in both agro and industrial sectors, my main focus is input -output analysis. The application of the Leontief Input-Output model provides useful information on linkages between different enterprises. My special interest is in quantitative research because its application and implementations are always expected to provide good methodological background to be followed by other researchers interested in quantitative research. Besides there is a great need to encourage quantitative research in Pakistan in this arena as it would help stakeholders to frame and improve their strategies for an overall economic development.
