Meet Zainab Munir | Customer Relations Manager

We had the good fortune of connecting with Zainab Munir and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Zainab, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
The and the purpose behind starting this business was the solely concerned providing customers with quality products at economical rates.
We see that not everyone has the buying power enough to meet the prices of Zara, LV , Gucci, and many other huge brands. Being born into the city where the raw material is easily available at cheaper rates as well as having full knowledge of exporting clothes and sports goods to the rest of the world encouraged us to take this huge step at the age of 18.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
So the story id very interesting. We are totally 5 siblings, Having been born into a middle-class family where i saw my parents struggling a lot due to our educational expenses it was quite tough for my father to make both ends meet.
My eldest sister got married and the elder one started to work at a firm where she got schizophrenic because of the toxic job environment and hysterical nature.
Then it was me a middle child , a girl who never took a step out of the house to earn or to find a job. I am fluent at speaking English so it ticked my mind and i came up with this idea that would benefit me and the family in the time of difficulty.
My brother who is almost 5 years younger than me at the age of 17 begin to look for the opportunities to start with something more demanding.
We registered the company at the chamber of commerce as “STYKO SPORTS” and started to look for the customers.
My brother found one customer after couple of weeks who needed the “basket ball vest” as a sample with simple printing and cotton having thickest gsm suitable for Uk’s diverse weather conditions.
We delivered and he was quite happy with the quality. We made good profit out of it and started to work with an American customer who needed puffer jackets but got scammed by someone. He refused to pay us before the shipping arrives so we invested our pocket money to make up the order of 25 jackets. We delivered the products and he was satisfied with the quality that he begin to work with us regularly. Then there were a lot of Italians who wanted to normalize baggy clothes but were not satisfied with the Chinese suppliers. We made enough profit to buy a car for our own use. And this still is going on with multiple challenges. We worked with a local musician band from Spain and America. This is quite tough but fub at the same time. We come up with different ideas and designs that amazes the customers and they begin to start their own businesses

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Oh my best friend loves to enjoy time spending with me eating cookies sipping coffee and gossiping where there are very less people. So i would like to take my best friend to cinema and watch a good movie at the Capital of Pakistan because it is densely populated and we have mutual friend who would lend us place to live without charging much. We would shop together at giga mall and the best time would be around Christmas holidays as we have less orders to proceed after Christmas till the new year.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My mother of course she encouraged me and my brother to work together as my brother has a huge language barrier being born into non English speaking country and i am fluent in it. After graduating in business i started looking for opportunities to enhance my knowledge. So we together as a family met a lot of challenges to cope up with the growing global economic environment .
We stayed up for almost 24 hours as my country is located in south Asia and the target market is mostly in Europe and America. So that was quite tough but we got used to it. Having our own business gave us flexibility of the time.
