On November 6, 2015, Aga Khan Foundation Canada hosted an Executive Masterclass on the Harvard Business School case study, Roshan: Light at the end of the tunnel in Afghanistan.
Roshan Telecom, established in 2003 at the height of the Afghan war, has been widely cited as an exemplary model of corporate social responsibility, bringing mobile connectivity, economic opportunity, healthcare, and education to Afghanistan. The story of Roshan is one of unexpected transformation: of a private sector enterprise contributing to the social and economic development of Afghanistan through mobile connectivity. And the lessons drawn from the Roshan experience have significant value well beyond Afghanistan.
The masterclass, was be facilitated by Shawn A. Cole from Harvard Business School and Karim Khoja, CEO of Roshan, who provided additional insights, perspectives on evolving challenges and opportunities in not only in Afghanistan, but in other developing and emerging economies.
