“For India and the UAE relations, we are witnessing that the sky is not just a ceiling but a beginning. I think there is still a sea of opportunities to explore. We have invested in people and developed knowledge partnerships. It is important to explore how we invest in partnerships for the next generations.”

H.E. Dr. Deepak Mittal

India’s Ambassador to the UAE

“We believe there is a significant opportunity for Indian manufacturers and entrepreneurs to leverage the second-to-none ecosystem that has been created in the emirate of Dubai.”

Abdulla Al Hashmi

Chief Operating Officer of Parks & Zones, DP World GCC

“The relationship between the UAE and India is long-standing. Before the foundation of the UAE, India was already a partner of the cities here. If I talk to my parents, India was their beacon; they looked forward to India, and India has been a pivotal partner of the UAE for many years.”

Abdulaziz AlJaziri

Deputy CEO & Chief Operations Officer, Dubai Future Foundation

“In today’s time you have to be bold in your direction and safer in your execution, but you can’t forget speed today. In the world that we’re in speed and efficiency are absolutely the primary things to think about every single day.”

Priya Agarwal Hebbar

Non- Executive Director at Vedanta Ltd. & Chairperson at Hindustan Zinc Ltd., Vedanta Limited

“Longevity in life span is complex. Genetics is the key factor in how well someone's longevity is. We are just scratching the surface of these genetic markets to understand the risks and opportunities.”

Tonya McSherry

VP EMEAI, Oxford Nanopore Technologies

“AI will be a big disruptor in retail and will continue to be so. It has always been a disruptor in the last four or five years. The customer experience that you provide is not just about product or clean stores, it's the omnichannel 360 degree experience which matters”

Dr. Sumit Mitra

CEO - TESCO Business Solutions & TESCO India & Chairman - OmniSol, TESCO India Pvt Ltd

“There are deep pools of capital today, and countries that are fortunate to have both talent and the ability to unlock domestic capital will be best positioned to build a strong sovereign stack. India is uniquely placed in this respect – we have abundant engineering talent, a rapidly growing economy, and a government with clear intent.”
