Dubai has become one of the favored destinations for Indian companies due to its tax advantages, business-friendly culture, and prime international location. Startups as well as long-established conglomerates are finding it increasingly appealing to establish themselves in the UAE, leveraging the emirate’s first-rate infrastructure and global connections.
One of the most appealing benefits for Indian investors is the 0% corporate tax in free zones, in addition to no personal income tax—providing a cost-efficient base for growing internationally. Dubai also has quick business registration, low bureaucracy, and easy access to financial and banking services.
The city’s access to international markets via top-of-the-line ports and airlines contributes to its popularity. As a launchpad to Europe, Africa, and the Middle East for Indian businesses that want to scale, diversify, or find new partnerships, Dubai plays an important role.
Industry players believe that opportunities in real estate, fintech, hospitality, and e-commerce are especially attractive. With India and the UAE increasing bilateral ties, this booming corridor of business is only expected to get stronger in the years to come.
