Dubai, UAE; April 26, 2015

For the third consecutive year, Forbes Middle East prepares to celebrate the achievements and far-reaching impact of the Top Indian Leaders in the Arab World. Over centuries, India and the Middle East have forged strong ties that bind not only their economies, but cultures and societies too. In recognition of these formidable bonds and the invaluable role that the non-resident Indian (NRI) community plays in shaping the economies and skylines of the GCC, Forbes Middle East will host an evening of celebrations on 28th April 2015.

In addition to leisurely networking and a sumptuous dinner, the event, which will take place at Jumeirah Emirates Towers, Dubai, will center on an exclusive award ceremony to acknowledge Indian leaders at the top of their game, including both company owners and outstanding executive management.

The coveted awards are based on Forbes Middle East's Top Indian Leaders in the Arab World ranking, which this year includes 150 inspirational individuals who have not only carved their own success, but contributed to that of the Arab nations they call home.

At the prestigious event, the ranking along with the cover stories of this special issue of Forbes Middle East, English and Arabic, will be revealed for the first time.

The evening of fine dining and celebrations will be attended by some of the most respected and admired businesspeople on the corporate scene.

Commenting on the upcoming occasion, Khuloud Al Omian, Editor-in-Chief, Forbes Middle East, said:

"The fact that we are hosting this special event for the third year running attests to the ongoing and hugely valuable impact that the Arab World's NRI community makes on the economies of the region. With each of our the top Indian leaders still playing an active role within their businesses and societies, our event presents a rare opportunity for the NRI elite to gather, alongside their Arab counterparts, under one roof. At Forbes Middle East, it is an honor to be the driving force behind such a gathering."

Forbes Middle East's valued partners for the evening include: Travel and tourism group Al Tayyar Travel Group Holding, travel and tourism companies Elegant Resorts, Elite Executive Services Company (EES), automobile partner Nissan Motor Co. Ltd., and media partners Zee TV, &TV and Radio Mirchi.
