About Roshan

Roshan began operations in 2003 in an environment where there was virtually no telecommunications infrastructure. Basic telecommunications was prohibitively expensive and practically inaccessible. To make an international call, you literally had to walk to another country. Speaking to family members within and outside the country was a luxury that many in Afghanistan had to forego.

Bringing You Closer

At Roshan, we believe that being able to pick up a phone and speak to friends and family wherever they may be is a fundamental right everyone in Afghanistan is entitled to. Which is why our core value is reflected in our slogan: Nazdik Shodan, Bringing You Closer.
