"For an Afghan company to be named the 'Best in Customer Care' when competing for this prestigious award against other global telecom brands, is a great testament to the quality of service and dedication to quality of the Roshan employees," Karim Khoja, Chief Executive Officer, said.

Adding, "Roshan was the first to bring a world-class Customer Care Centre that answers 85 percent of calls within 20 seconds, serves over six million customers and responds to nearly 30,000 calls per day in Dari, Pashto and English throughout Afghanistan. The Customer Care Center is staffed by highly trained agents and females make up 35 percent of the staff."
