THE TOP INDIAN LEADERS MAKING AN IMPACT IN THE MIDDLE EAST
Over 200 of the Middle East’s biggest and most influential Indian leaders gathered at a dazzling event to celebrate the mutual success and historic ties between the two regions.
In July, Forbes Middle East unveiled its 7th annual ranking of the Middle East’s most successful and influential Indian leaders at a glittering gala at the Palazzo Versace, Dubai. For 2019, the ranking reveals the pioneers, executives and CFOs that have had the biggest impact in the region through their tireless work and phenomenal businesses, which have helped build the Arab world into the metropolis it is today.
The event hosted His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Maktoum bin Juma Al Maktoum, His Excellency Navdeep Singh Suri, Ambassador of India to the U.A.E., and over 200 Indian leaders and special guests.
Speaking at the event, His Excellency, Navdeep Singh Suri, said that the annual celebration was one he would never miss as it brings together those individuals whose contributions should be recognized because of the wealth and jobs they have created, the opportunities they seized thanks to the beneficial business environment created by the leaders of the Gulf countries, and the example that they have set for so many others.
“We have a government committed to addressing challenges and to making it generally easier for all of you to experience a better business environment,” he said. “Take advantage of the new India, there is a change happening before your eyes. Take a fresh look and be the bridge between India and the UAE that you have always been, as communities but now also in business.”
The event was held in partnership with: official chocolate partner, Patchi; official travel partner, ITL world; luxury gift partner, Montegrappa; and official entertainment partner, Vento Entertainment.
