My article about the Transformation of Dubai to a Global Tourism Destination posted in the Newsletter of INMECC (Indo Gulf & Middle East Chamber of Commerce)

Mukul Anand

I wrote down this piece after witnessing heavy rainfall and its impact on normal lives in Dubai. Looking at the pace of recovery, everything will be normal in the next couple of days. However, I am taking this as an opportunity to remind ourselves that sustainability has to become the new normal, and everyone has to play a role in it if we want to coexist with nature more harmoniously.

Sustainability: The New Normal - Why, How, and When?

This post is all about appreciation towards Sachin Acharya, who runs the Be Your Own Boss Podcast, mainly focusing on SME sectors. Through it, he tries to capture entrepreneurs' journeys by asking probing questions related to their pre- and post-entrepreneurial experiences. I am highly thankful to him for featuring me in the same podcast, which gave me an opportunity to talk about my (Our Team's ) story R3 Factory for the first time on such a platform. It was a totally unscripted video where questions were very natural, and I must say it was a wonderful experience that made me reflect on my past and present. I feel every entrepreneur, irrespective of their stage, should get in touch with Sachin and let their story be told to the world. He posted my interview in two parts in less than two weeks; combined, the views are around 33K++, which I feel is massive for a humble story like mine. The story of R3 Factory is an outcome of relentless hours of combined effort from our wonderful team and a high level of commitment to creating a sustainable future, which requires collaboration from all stakeholders. Thanks Sachin 🙏
