KE has been an integral part of Karachi for over 100 years serving more than 20 million consumers and employing over 11,000 residents of Karachi. Having completed this milestone, KE is even more committed to working towards the betterment of this glorious city.
Being so deeply engrained in the fabric of Karachi, KE decided to conduct an award ceremony to commemorate the rich history of this city by paying tribute to individuals from all walks of life. These individuals since the inception of Pakistan have made a significant impact on this country, this city, its people and its socio-economic landscape.
According to the KE press release, the award ceremony which was hosted at the Palace which dates back to 1927, was a humble attempt to recognize and honor those individuals who have worked selflessly and passionately for the betterment of this society.

CEO KE, Mr Nayyer Hussain on this occasion commended the council members and said “Our challenge was to bring together a council that was a true representation of the five categories chosen for the awards. We sought out and enlisted the help of respected members of society who are experts in their respective fields and as such have a better perspective to nominate the individuals who deserve to be recognised through these awards.”
On this occasion chairman KE, Mr Tabish Gauhar said “We are grateful to the honorable members of the council who not only chose the award recipients but also encouraged us in undertaking this noble cause. We need more examples of such people who have embraced and owned our city in the name of hope, peace & development”.
