Sadaaqa presents Noura & Shaikha Al Arfaj

On May 23, Sadaaqa, a show that celebrates India Kuwait friendship presents Noura and Shaikha Al Arfaj, daughters of Abdulaziz Al Arfaj, a Kuwaiti merchant who began his business from his office on Mohammed Ali Road in Bombay.

Noura Al Arfaj, CEO of Al Arfaj Engineering Company, a dynamic Kuwaiti woman who won the Arab Women’s Award for business excellence was born and brought up in India. She can speak fluent Hindi, has strong memories of her growing up years, and innumerable stories to share.

Shaikha on the other hand was born in Kuwait but like her parents and older siblings developed a close and meaningful relationship with India. She nurtured this relationship by spreading awareness about the benefits of ancient Indian practices in Kuwait.

Director of International Projects at Pace, a leading engineering consulting company, Shaikha is at the top of her profession.

Her intimate connection with India reflects in her entrepreneurship. She is the founder of Ginger, a vegan restaurant based on the ancient Indian principle of ‘Satvik Ahaar ’. She is also the co-founder of Harmony House, a Raja Yoga center based on a Raja Yoga center based on well being & mastery over the self learning.

On occasions, Shaikha can be found wearing a sari, a garment she wears with ease and confidence.

In Sadaaqa, the two sisters not only talk about their family’s close association with India, holidays in Panchgani and Alibaug, memories of life in Bombay, about Raja Yoga, and the concept of Satvik Ahaar but also about the close friendly connection between India and Kuwait.
