<p><strong>MUMBAI:</strong> Masala King Dr. Dhananjay Datar, CMD, Adil Group of Superstores, has expressed his readiness to export the products of Indian entrepreneurs to Dubai and other Gulf destinations. He expressed that he would be happy to guide those businesses who are willing to expand into the global market via Dubai.</p>



<p>He was talking to a delegation of entrepreneurs from Solapur city in Maharashtra. These entrepreneurs, under the leadership of Subhash Deshmukh, MLA, presented popular local products, including ‘Shenga Chutney’, ‘Kadak Bhakari’, etc, along with high-quality jowar, rice, and pulses. A bag manufacturer also made a presentation of novel packaging solutions. Dr. Datar appreciated the quality of these products and showed his willingness to purchase them through his Adil Group.</p>



<p>He guided the delegation on various aspects of export to Dubai, including the process, essential documents, legal provisions, and rules regarding quality and packing, besides how to take care of marketing and customer care.  <strong>Dhananjay Datar</strong> said, “<em>The export from India to GCC countries, including UAE, is mainly carried out through water transport due to its affordability. Since the journey takes at least 20 days to reach the consignments there, exporters should not consider fast perishable items. Instead, they should opt for products having a shelf life of at least six months or a year. Our Adil Group has earned a reputation for providing pure, hygienic, and authentic food products. Nowadays, health consciousness is on the rise, and customers prefer organic food. Recently, we started selling Khapali, a nutritious variety of wheat under our Peacock brand, and the response was overwhelming. Exporters should keep the packaging of their products secure and tamper-proof. If they provide natural, chemical-free, adulteration-free, and healthy products, they will surely get a considerable profit. The laws and policies of Gulf countries are stringent, and adulteration, cheating, harm to consumers, and the supply of unhygienic products are never tolerated. So, the exporters should adhere to strict discipline before they export</em>.”</p>



<p> <strong>Dhananjay Datar</strong> further said, “<em>Indian entrepreneurs have huge opportunities for growth, export, and expansion in the global market shortly. The Indian economy is on a fast track, and a lot of major infrastructure development work is underway. One of the notable examples is the upcoming Wadhwan International Port in Maharashtra. In a decade, Mumbai will have 2 international ports and 2 international airports. The rising connectivity between these ports and the rest of the country will surely benefit the exporters, but they have to take advantage of this development well in time. The aspiring entrepreneurs should study the process of Import-export as early as possible. My dream is to guide hundreds of young aspirants to make them successful businessmen</em>.”</p>



<p>The delegation included Amit Jain, Director, Solapur Garments Manufacturers Association; Dr. Rajesh Gurani, CEO, Udyam PAHSUI Foundation; Alpesh Sanklecha, Vijay Patil, Yash Jain, Pradeep Jain, Anand Zaad, and Chandrashekhar Jadhav.</p>

<p><strong>DUBAI, UAE:</strong> Fox Petroleum Group, a global leader in energy, infrastructure, and media, held its Annual Board of Directors Meeting and Financial Session on April 18, 2025, in Dubai, UAE. Under the dynamic leadership of Chairman and Managing Director Dr. Ajay Kumar, PhD, the company unveiled a visionary roadmap, leveraging its $12.5 billion valuation and $4.5 billion cash reserve to drive transformative projects across 23 countries.</p>



<p>In a powerful address, Dr. Kumar paid tribute to the late Mr. Steev Jacob Reed, a pivotal figure in Fox Petroleum’s journey, whose integrity and vision continue to inspire the organization. Honoring his legacy, Dr. Kumar announced the induction of Mr. Johny Steve Reed, Steev Reed’s son, as a nominee to the Board of Directors, ensuring the Reed family’s values endure. Additionally, a charitable trust or NGO partnership was proposed to transform lives in memory of key figures like Mr. Reed, Mr. John Fox, and Engr. Bertoli Maclain, Sabiha Ma’am, and Dr. Kumar’s brother, former Group CEO Amit Kumar.</p>



<p>Financially, <strong>Fox Petroleum Group</strong> reported exceptional performance for the fiscal year 2024–2025, navigating global economic volatility with a net profit of $8.75 million from 1.798 million barrels of refined petroleum products and a total comprehensive income of $11.25 million. The company’s crude oil division delivered a gross profit of $3.79 billion, while the LNG division achieved a net profit of $63.1 million. With a monthly inventory valuation of $4.62 billion—comprising $1.2 billion in crude oil, $1.91 billion in LNG, and $1.51 billion in refined petroleum products—Fox Petroleum solidifies its position as a global energy powerhouse.</p>



<p>Dr. Kumar outlined strategic investments of the $4.5 billion cash reserve, fueling <strong>Fox Construction’s</strong> infrastructure projects, including bridges, hospitals, and smart cities, and expanding Fox Global Times into a global media leader. Two new ports and a pipeline will build on the success of the $5.6 billion Oman-India Multi-Purpose Pipeline and $2 billion Karnataka LNG FSRU, enhancing energy connectivity and generating $434 million annually from investments in 46 companies.</p>



<p><strong>Fox Construction Group</strong> announced a landmark deal, monetizing a 430-acre township in Maharashtra for ₹714 crores (approximately USD 85 million), and is preparing to subcontract civil amenities for Australia’s Goulburn project. The division’s work value is projected to reach $2 billion over the next two years, with projects spanning Australia, South Africa, the UAE, and India, including an Industrial Logistics Park near Jewar Airport in collaboration with a German contractor.</p>



<p>In media, <strong>Fox Global Times</strong> India will lead global operations, ensuring journalistic integrity and legal compliance. Strategic alliances with a Russian news channel and a Malaysian network are in advanced stages to bolster Fox Global Times UAE. <strong>Dr. Kumar</strong> emphasized a commitment to ethical media, stating, “<em>We must stand as a transparent, resilient institution, rising above controversy</em>.”</p>



<p>Addressing governance, Dr. Kumar requested support from key stakeholders—Mr Victor, Mr. Naseer, Mrs. Taylor, and Mr. Zhaou—to secure a 5% equity stake in the Central Bank of India’s disinvestment, urging action by August 15, 2025, to meet regulatory requirements. He also appointed Dean and Dabash to lead Fly Fox operations and announced a 26% salary hike for employees below managerial level and a 5% hike for managers, alongside promoting four Associate CEOs to full CEOs.</p>



<p>Dr. Kumar’s address blended resolve and candor, warning against inefficiency while reaffirming his commitment to a “<strong>Family First Leadership</strong>” ethos. He introduced “<strong>Fox Family</strong>” initiatives, empowering youth and honoring veterans, and declared, “<strong>We are not just building pipelines and profits—we’re building people</strong>.” For the first time, new directors from Fox Global Times will join the board, with Dr. Kumar requesting their adherence to company protocols.</p>



<p>The meeting concluded with operational directives: all documents, including debit notes and grievance letters, are to be submitted by April 25, with dividends disbursed in early May. Dr. Kumar will become the primary signatory for the company’s 47 active bank accounts, streamlined from 119.</p>



<p>“<em>Welcome to the new era of Fox Petroleum—where power walks, results speak, and history listens</em>,” <strong>Dr. Kumar</strong> concluded. “<em>We rise together, or not at all</em>.”</p>

<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><em>Skill Leap Project in Bihar aims to bridge</em> the <em>Digital Divide</em></li>



<li><em>Initiative to Empower 2,700 Students in Bihar, India</em></li>
</ul>



<p><strong>PATNA:</strong> Kavin Khanna, a 17-year-old, Dubai-based student from Jumeirah College, has partnered with KCS Foundation India to launch the Skill Leap Project—a transformative digital literacy initiative that has already empowered over 2,700 underprivileged students in rural Bihar. The project aims to bridge the digital divide and foster digital empowerment by setting up advanced computer labs and delivering a future-ready curriculum.</p>



<p>The first Skill Leap lab was inaugurated in September 2023 at Village Kaina, District Samastipur in Bihar, equipped with 20 state-of-the-art computers and supported by three full-time local teachers. The initiative is run in collaboration with the KCS Foundation, a community-focused non-profit registered under NITI Aayog (DARPAN). The foundation provided ground-level support in identifying the school, staffing, and sustaining the program.</p>



<p>Kavin, who leads the initiative remotely from Dubai, conducts weekly interactive online sessions with students and visits the Bihar center in April 2025 to engage with teachers and students through workshops and motivational sessions. His efforts have been supported by nearly $10,000 in fundraising from global contributors.</p>



<p>What sets Skill Leap apart is its structured, future-focused curriculum, designed by Kavin in consultation with educators and technologists. Students are trained in digital literacy, computer operations, coding, artificial intelligence (AI), and practical financial literacy. The curriculum blends foundational skills with real-world applications—preparing students not only to participate in the digital economy but to thrive in it.</p>



<p><strong>Reflecting on his mission, Kavin Khanna</strong> said, <em>“Skill Leap is more than a project—it’s a movement fueled by belief in the power of equal opportunity. Watching over 2,700 students from rural Bihar step into a digital classroom, many for the first time in their lives, has been deeply humbling. We’re not just teaching students how to use technology; we’re showing them they are part of a larger world, full of possibility. If we can spark confidence in just one child to dream bigger and pursue a different future, then every effort has been worth it. This is just the beginning—we’re building a foundation for lifelong change.”</em></p>



<p>The Skill Leap curriculum covers digital literacy, basic computer operations, coding, artificial intelligence, and financial skills, designed to equip students with the knowledge needed to succeed in today’s tech-driven world.</p>



<p><strong>Pankaj Jha, Founder of KCS Foundation</strong>, added, “<em>When a young changemaker like Kavin joins hands with a grassroots organisation like ours, real impact unfolds. His vision, energy, and unwavering commitment have helped us bring digital education to the corners of Bihar that are often forgotten. The transformation we’re witnessing is profound; children who had never touched a computer are now learning to code, explore AI, and think critically. This initiative is bridging more than just the digital divide—it’s restoring confidence and hope in these communities. We are proud to be partners in this journey of empowerment.”</em></p>



<p>With expansion plans underway, the Skill Leap Project aims to replicate its impact in other underserved regions of India. By uniting the energy of youth leadership with grassroots expertise, the project stands as a compelling model for scalable and sustainable change in education.</p>

<p><strong>DUBAI, UAE:</strong> Puravankara Limited, one of India’s leading real estate companies, has announced the &#8216;Purva NRI Home Fest,&#8217; a special event designed to showcase its projects to Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) in Dubai. The two-day event will take place at the Shangri-La Dubai, from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM on Saturday, 28th September, and Sunday, 29th September 2024.</p>



<p>The Purva NRI Home Fest presents an opportunity for NRIs to explore over 4,000 homes across 20+ prestigious projects in five major Indian cities—Bengaluru, Chennai, Kochi, Mumbai, and Pune. This event will showcase an array of luxury apartments, world-class villas, and villa plots, providing potential buyers with diverse property options to suit their investment needs.</p>



<p>Purva’s NRI Home Fest will showcase a comprehensive range of property options. Prospective buyers will have the opportunity to explore a diverse portfolio that includes 1-5 BHK apartments, penthouses, villas, and villa plots, with sizes ranging from approximately 600 sq. ft. to 5,000 sq. ft.</p>



<p><strong>Abhishek Kapoor, Group CEO of Puravankara Limited</strong>, said, “<em>Post Covid,</em> <em>there is a definite interest among NRIs in purchasing a property back home that they can return to. This is evident in the numbers as money flowing into NRIs’ deposits rose by 84.4 percent from $6.40 billion to $11.8 billion between April 2023 and February 2024.

<p class="has-text-align-center" style="font-size:24px"><em>Visionary initiative unveiled as Dubai welcomes a record 2.46 million overnight visitors from India in 2023, marking a 34% YoY growth</em></p>



<p><strong>KOLKATA: </strong>Dubai welcomed 2.46 million overnight visitors from India between January and December 2023, according to the latest data from the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET). This marks a significant increase from the 1.84 million tourists in 2022 and crucially, surpasses the pre-pandemic figure of 1.97 million visitors in 2019, demonstrating a remarkable 25% growth compared to the pre-pandemic era. With an exceptional 34% YoY growth, India continues to deliver the highest number of international visitors from a single market. This robust influx of Indian tourists contributed significantly to Dubai&#8217;s record-breaking tourism performance in 2023.</p>



<p>The growth aligns with the goals of the Dubai Economic Agenda, D33, launched just over a year ago by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to further consolidate Dubai’s position as one of the top three global cities for business and leisure, and the best city to visit, live and work in.</p>



<p>As India stands as the top source market for Dubai, DET is actively participating in SATTE 2024, India’s leading trade exhibition. The event helps showcase Dubai&#8217;s offerings to attract new and repeat visitors and provides a platform for the Indian travel trade to connect with Dubai stakeholders including airlines, destination management companies, hotels and resorts, and attractions in Dubai, fostering valuable partnerships.</p>



<p>Dubai introduces a&nbsp;<strong>Five-Year Multiple-Entry Visa</strong>&nbsp;to further bolster travel between India and Dubai, underscoring its commitment to fostering sustained economic collaborations and encouraging tourism and business ties. This visionary step ensures that the visa, issued within two to five working days upon receiving and accepting the service request, allows its holder to stay in the country for 90 days, extendable once for a similar period, with a total stay not exceeding 180 days in one year. Through this significant initiative, tourists can leverage multiple entries and exits, providing operational flexibility for business engagements, leisure travel, and seamless connectivity.</p>



<p><strong>Bader Ali Habib, Regional Head of Proximity Markets, Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism, </strong>said: &#8220;<em>Dubai values its long-standing relationship with India, and our inbound visitation from the market in 2023 was outstanding, contributing to a record-breaking performance by our tourism sector.</em> <em>As a key market for Dubai, India will continue to play an integral role in enabling us to achieve the goals of the D33 Agenda, further reinforcing Dubai’s position as a hub for business, investment,</em> and tourism. The five-year multiple entry visa initiative signifies a strategic step towards deepening our already existing ties with India. This historic milestone will not only open doors to a longer and more enriching experience for Indian tourists but also provide a platform for increased economic collaboration. It is also a testament to Dubai&#8217;s commitment to India and the infinite possibilities that can be explored between the <em>UAE and the sub-continent. With exceptional flight connectivity and our ongoing commitment to the Indian market, we are confident that our upcoming initiatives will further amplify awareness about Dubai&#8217;s diverse offerings, multicultural setting, and abundance of hotels and attractions, continuing to make it the top travel choice for Indian tourists.”</em></p>



<p>Dubai welcomed more tourists than ever before in 2023, attracting 17.15 million international overnight visitors over the year, according to the latest data published by DET. Representing a 19.4% YoY growth over the 14.36 million tourist arrivals in 2022, last year’s figure also exceeded the previous record of 16.73 million visitors registered in 2019.</p>



<p>As a testament to Dubai&#8217;s diverse offerings and excellence in hospitality and dining, as well as its commitment to safety and security and providing exceptional service at all touchpoints, Dubai was recognized for the third consecutive year as the No.1 global destination in Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Best of the Best Destinations Awards 2024. This milestone is based on millions of global travellers&#8217; reviews between 1 October 2022 and 30 September 2023.</p>



<p>UAE and India stand as key economic partners, with a relationship deeply rooted in centuries-old cultural exchanges, diplomatic cooperation, and significant trade ties. The diverse Indian market allows Dubai to attract a broad range of travelers, catering to various preferences such as luxury shopping, cultural experiences, family-friendly attractions, and business conferences.</p>

<p class="has-text-align-center" style="font-size:24px"><em>The African Development Bank has pledged to quadruple its financing for climate adaptation to reach $25 billion by 2025 through promoting climate-smart investments</em></p>



<p><strong>DUBAI:</strong> Heads of multilateral development banks attending the 2023 global climate change conference, COP28, have committed to scaling resource mobilization to close the nature and water sector financing gap. The banks shared their views on what can be done differently to ensure that the world delivers on water, nature, and climate agendas. The high-level panel was moderated by Lord Zac Goldsmith, former UK Minister for Climate and Environment, and speakers included representatives from the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), the Asian Development Bank, and the African Development Bank.</p>



<p>The IDB President, Ilan Goldfajn, shared the institution&#8217;s CLIMA pilot program, an innovative financial tool that provides grants to incentivize borrowers to achieve nature and climate objectives. The President of the Asian Development Bank, Masatsugu Asakawa, reinforced the need for the development community to lead in mobilizing partnerships that can generate new and additional financing. Dr. Beth Dunford, Vice President of Agriculture, Human and Social Development at the African Development Bank Group, urged urgent action to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 6 of &#8220;clean water and sanitation for all.&#8221;</p>



<p>Globally, water resources are dwindling, and impacts are intensifying due to increasing temperatures. By 2030, a quarter billion people will grapple with water scarcity, and by 2050, climate impacts could cost Africa $50 billion per year. Since 2010, the African Development Bank has invested an estimated $7.4 billion in water supply and sanitation services delivery, benefitting about 90 million people in Africa.</p>



<p>The African Development Bank has pledged to quadruple its financing for climate adaptation to reach $25 billion by 2025 through promoting climate-smart investments. The Bank will encourage private-sector funding, particularly for water treatment, recycling, and other components in the water value chain. It will also consider strategic debt relief programs like debt-for-nature swaps in return for a commitment from regional member countries to invest in climate-resilient infrastructure.</p>



<p>The meeting affirmed that there can be no sustainable future without urgent, systemic, and collective attention to the inextricable links between climate change, water crises, and biodiversity loss. Safeguarding water resources and biodiversity should be prioritized as they are crucial in climate strategies. Dr. Johan Rockstrom, Director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and the co-chair of the Global Commission on the Economics of Water, delivered a keynote on &#8220;Rethinking the Financial Architecture for Water and Nature.&#8221; He called for collaboration in mobilizing finance advancing a conceptual framework and restructuring the overall financial architecture for climate, water, and nature.</p>



<p>The commitment of multilateral development banks to close the nature and water financing gap is a significant step towards achieving sustainable development goals. The African Development Bank&#8217;s pledge to quadruple its financing for climate adaptation is a welcome development that will promote climate-smart investments. The urgent, systemic, and collective attention to the inextricable links between climate change, water crises, and biodiversity loss is crucial in safeguarding water resources and biodiversity, which are fundamental supports to human well-being and economies.</p>
