He has garnered vast experience working with organisations dealing with ferroalloy and power businesses before joining SMIORE as a Company Secretary in 2005.

He has significantly contributed to the Company by streamlining mining operations and ensuring compliances, which has resulted in both the mining leases of SMIORE being awarded Five Star Rating consecutively for several years by the Ministry of Mines and Indian Bureau of Mines. Saleem has also played the role of SMIORE’s nominee director on the boards of a couple of companies and contributed to their revival. In April 2020, he was appointed as Whole Time Director, designated as Director (Mines). With effect from 21 November 2023, he was appointed as Company Secretary & Compliance Officer, thereby redesignating his position to Whole Time Director, Company Secretary & Compliance Officer of the Company. The Board, based on the recommendation of Nomination and Remuneration Committee, relieved Mohammed Abdul Saleem from the position of Whole Time Director, Company Secretary & Compliance Officer (Key Managerial Personnel) of the Company and redesignated him as Non-Executive Director of the Company with effect from 5 August 2024.
