KARACHI: K-Electric Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Syed Moonis Abdullah Alvi has resigned from his position, sources confirmed on Wednesday.
According to insiders, Alvi had been under significant mental stress for several months following harassment allegations lodged by a former K-Electric employee. Alvi joined K-Electric in 2008 and held several senior roles, including Chief Financial Officer, Company Secretary, and Head of Treasury.
He was appointed CEO in 2018. During his tenure, the seasoned executive, with over 30 years of experience, led key initiatives including the globally acclaimed Roshani Baji program and frequently served as the company’s public face.
The controversy dates back to last year when a former chief marketing and communications officer accused Alvi of harassment, threats, and creating a hostile work environment. She filed a complaint with the Sindh High Oversight Authority under retired Justice Shah Nawaz Tariq, which initially ordered Alvi’s removal from office and imposed a fine of Rs25 lakh.
Alvi denied the allegations and announced plans to appeal the decision. The matter reached Governor Sindh Kamran Tessori, who, after an independent review, overturned the provincial oversight authority’s order on July 31, 2025, citing ignored evidence.
