Warid is really doing well now a days. i heard they are expanding their coverage and working hard to better their quality.
yes huge amount is going to invest again in network and IT solutions also for human resource
Its hard to imagine why they are suffering losses.
they need to give serious emphases on their marketing department. perhaps i think warid has no marketing deptt.
even a shopkeeper do more marketing than this big company
Yeh they should change their marketting company/team.
They have started LBC in whole of sindh except khi but they hve termed it as hyderaabd region and i havent seen any banner or holding of this offer.
When zonf started LBC in hyd they had big banners and holdings.
Wake up warid.
