“IBPC has achieved an incredible milestone in completing two decades of its existence in the United Arab Emirates. "The unwavering commitment and support extended by IBPC Dubai towards the Indian business community in the UAE to provide business opportunities have been phenomenal. IBPC has garnered great success in boosting international trade and investments between UAE & India. It is an honour to be associated with such a prestigious organization. There is great potential yet to be harnessed as we continue this journey together towards enhancing commerce, industry and investments.”

“Excellence is a journey, not a destination; hence we need to persevere continuous improvement and seek innovation in everything we do. My dream for IBPC is not only that it acts as a catalyst for India-UAE trade and investment, but that it paves the way also for multilateral trade, involving India and UAE with other countries in the region. The investment of effort by IBPC towards these ambitions promises a very strong future for both nations.”

“Communication of IBPC’s ideology of growth with and of the community will continue to enhance the perception and impact of IBPC. IBPC has an opportunity to capture the mindshare of different generations through appropriate media, on several issues like growth and sustainability. This will create a strong brand and shape future projects and initiatives.”

“IBPC needs to forge ahead with a two-pronged approach. The first is, that we need to enrich our offerings to pull and retain the untapped section of the business and professional community who play a vital role in the economic progress of India & UAE. Secondly, we also need an urgent focus on creating an IBPC community with the mindset of attracting younger members and having greater gender diversity with the objective of ensuring leadership sustainability.”

“While IBPC is an organization of businessmen and professionals and we work mostly towards improving the economic relationship between India and UAE, the fact is that we cannot prosper without collectively acknowledging and finding solutions to other issues that we face as a society. The role and responsibility of corporates and businessmen is to therefore give back to and serve the communities we take from. It is committing to the growth of the community first and that will lead to the growth of every individual and organization that is part of the ecosystem. It is one of the strongest and most effective ways to create an implicit statement of who we are and what we stand for as a brand or an organization.”

“The Indian Business and Professional Council (IBPC) Dubai, as one of the oldest and largest representative organisations of Indian businessmen and professionals in the UAE, plays a great role in the growth of bilateral trade and investment relationship between India and UAE. It not only engages in benefiting the Indian business and professional community of UAE but also invests itself in humanitarian, relief and philanthropy works for the community as community social responsibility initiatives which is highly commendable.”

“IBPC has clearly come of age as a mature and credible catalyst for strengthening the economic relationship between India and the UAE; specifically with Dubai, for forging a trusted and versatile platform for the Indian and Emirati business communities to synergize and to foster policy advocacy across several strategically- aligned business sectors with the Governmental authorities in Dubai, the UAE & India. It is a privilege to have been a Founder of IBPC in 2003 as a sole apex business council for the Indian community and return to lead the transformation of IBPC in 2018 into a robust governance structure; together with an Executive Committee of emerging leaders.”

“For over two decades, IBPC has been playing a very vital role in supporting the Indian business community in Dubai. Apart from being the platform for business and professional interactions, it is also a venue for camaraderie between the Emirati and Indian business communities. IBPC is also proudly at the forefront of business and professional activities of the Indian community in UAE, while connecting the businessmen here to their counterparts in India.

Through providing a venue for interaction with the visiting central and state ministers and officials, IBPC is actively supporting bilateral business relationship between India and UAE as was evident during the recently concluded Dubai EXPO2020.

IBPC is also a hub for information and resources sharing for the businessmen and professionals. This will help those who are new, starting their businesses here or are relocating to Dubai as professionals.

As a member of the governing board of IBPC, I look forward to interacting with you in the endeavor to build a prosperous business and professional community in the UAE.”

“Celebrating 20 years of innovation and partnership, we understand the power of new ideas in transforming minds and horizons. This journey of the Indian Business and Professional Council in Dubai, blending Indian dynamism and Emirati vision, has created success stories transcending borders. Let us continue, knowing our collective aspirations will only further stretch the bounds of possibility. Here's to another twenty years of inspirational leadership and growth.”
