Hyderabad: Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone (RAKEZ) wrapped up a week-long roadshow across key Indian cities, including Hyderabad, Mumbai, and Pune, further advancing its long-standing collaboration with India. Led by RAKEZ Group CEO Ramy Jallad, the delegation aimed to deepen business ties and foster strategic relations with Indian investors and enterprises.
According to Emirates News Agency, Jallad emphasized the significance of India as a key market and acknowledged the deep-rooted connections established through years of continuous engagement. He highlighted the importance of India as a home to one of RAKEZ's strongest investor communities and expressed pride in being a hub for thousands of Indian companies expanding into the UAE and beyond. The roadshow was part of RAKEZ's ongoing commitment to enabling Indian investors to thrive globally from their base in Ras Al Khaimah.
The delegation commenced its visit in Hyderabad at the Expand Middle East event hosted by international business advisory firm TConsult. Here, RAKEZ signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the World Telugu Information Technology Council (WTITC). The MoU, signed by Jallad and WTITC Chairman Sundeep Makthala, aims to bolster cross-border collaboration, particularly empowering the Telugu business community to access global opportunities.
In Mumbai, RAKEZ joined the UAE-India Start-up Series' launch at the Mumbai Start-up Sundowner, an initiative by the UAE-India CEPA Council to identify and support high-potential Indian startups. The team engaged with the UAE Ambassador to India Dr. Abdulnasser Alshaali, CEPA Council Director Ahmed Aljneibi, and Bombay Industries Association President Hitesh Shah to explore further economic cooperation.
RAKEZ is already home to over 9,500 Indian investors, making India the top contributor to its community of over 35,000 companies. Major Indian enterprises like Mahindra, MSSL, Dabur Naturelle, Ashok Leyland, and Xpro Dielectric Films have found success operating from RAKEZ, which supports a broad spectrum of industries.
With cost-effective set-up options, strong connectivity to markets, and tailored support for startups, SMEs, and industrial players, RAKEZ stands out as a preferred destination for Indian businesses. Partnerships with major Indian industry organizations further reinforce its commitment to empowering Indian enterprises to scale globally.
