Middle East and Africa Summit 2026

The Gulf-India Nexus (Invite only)

-

For generations, Indian entrepreneurs have helped build the commercial life of the Gulf. This session brings together leaders carrying that story forward across clothing, retail, investing, art, and hospitality. The array includes newcomers who have recently made the region their home and others who have moved out of the public eye into backing the next wave of founders. Our speakers have inherited, built, and reimagined businesses. They will discuss how family legacy and capital shape an individual’s own vision, and how fashion, food, art and investing now nurture one another. They will also reflect on the tricks and traps of arriving in a new market, the value of building a household name, and how to put capital to work over the long term.
