Robi’s hiring of foreign executive challenged

• The appointment of Shoaib Baig as chief human resources officer of Robi Axiata has raised serious questions over the telecom operator’s recruitment practices as the company ignored allegations of ethical misconduct, irregular appointments and controversial dismissals linked to his previous employers in Pakistan.
• Mohammad Maruful Alam Chowdhury, who served as Robi’s acting chief human resources officer (later changed the title to chief people officer) from July 2023 to January 2025, has filed formal complaints with the Bangladesh Investment Development Authority, the Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission and the National Board of Revenue. He accused the telecom operator of bypassing transparent hiring procedures to appoint the Pakistani national Shoaib Baig in February 2025.
