Dubai, UAE—The Pakistani community in the UAE recently celebrated a major achievement. The social media group “Pakistanis in Dubai” (PID) reached 200,000 members. To mark this milestone, PID hosted a special business summit in Ajman. The event brought together community leaders, business owners, and government officials to discuss working together, new ideas, and how to grow businesses in the UAE.
PID: A Powerful Network for Pakistanis in the UAE
Pakistanis in Dubai (PID) is the largest group of Pakistani expats in the Gulf region. What started as a social media platform has grown into a key network for the community. The group has earned recognition from Meta for its important work in bringing people together. PID helps Pakistani expats by organizing networking events, supporting business growth, and creating opportunities for collaboration.
At the summit, Hussain Mohammed, the Consul General of Pakistan in Dubai, praised PID for its role in connecting people. “PID has changed from just a social media group into a powerful platform that brings the Pakistani community together to work and grow,” he said. He also suggested creating a data bank to help the community connect even more easily.
Strengthening Business Ties Between Pakistan and the UAE
One of the highlights of the summit was the signing of an agreement between PID and the Pakistan Business Council Sharjah (PBCS). This agreement will help businesses in the Pakistani community by offering more support and resources. Nasir Bangash, the founder of PID, said, “This summit shows how strong and united our community is. Together, we can create many new opportunities for success.”
The summit also included talks from business leaders, such as Iftikhar Hamdani, General Manager of Bahir Ajman Hotel, and Arshad Mahmood from Abu Ali Contracting Group. They discussed important topics like sustainability, economic growth, and how businesses can continue to grow in the UAE.
Key Takeaways for Growing Your Business
The summit gave several important lessons for businesses looking to succeed in the UAE. Here are some key points:
- Networking is Important: Go to community events to meet new people and find business opportunities.
