"Dubai is always a land of Opportunities." - Abdulla Noorudhin.

Abdulla Noorudhin, expatriate businesman and the chairman of DSD group, states that Dubai is always a land of opportunities. Dubai has always provided him with enough chances through which he has become what he is now, and also taught him to be the same in attitude always.

Abdulla hails from Thalassery, Kannur, from a family with no business background. His father was a professor, and he is an engineering graduate. He had reached Dubai in a visiting visa in the onset of 1990s, in search of a job. He started his career as a site engineer and consultant in a private firm. In his career he always wanted upliftment, and hence during this period he got in contact with many people in 3 years. After that period he got appointed Dubai municipality and worked there for almost two years. The problem he faced in that job was there was no appraisal in the salary. Due to this he shifted himself to a job in Etisalat, with double salary. Later he also worked with Free Zone Airport Authority.

During his days at the Airport Authority, his thoughts regarding some novel business ideas in connection with airports blossomed.

Along with his partners and friends, he started a small scale business of baggage wrapping , baggage collection and so on. In 12 years, that establishment grew up to having 12 branches. He acknowledges the role of local people in his growth. He states that they were really welcoming and friendly. Their help as well as his proficiency in language has helped him to achieve better. He has also tried a hand in agriculture and has grown fruits as well as vegetables in his garden. He says that amidst his busy schedule it is really calming and stress releasing to have a stroll in his garden.

In the light of covid-19 UAE has witnessed many of the expatriates going back to India in a view of settling there. But Abdullah states that majority of these people are definitely in a mind to come back. These people who are used to the facilities in UAE for doing a business are not at all comfortable with the systems of our home country. It is not a problem with the attitude of the people, but of the system. "According to the chief minister of Kerala Shri Pinarayi Vijayan, expatriates coming back to Kerala will get enough opportunities in their home country, but I don't think it will be possible to the fullest extent." - these are Abdulla's views. He also adds that if won't have enough skills he can always come to UI for this nation always have new opportunities for them. He considers the post pandemic period as a period of boom or more number of chances in all the fields.

Abdullah Noorudhin is a man of optimism and he advises the people who are thinking to start new business to follow the same. He also states that the main reason for failure in any business is lack of attention. If proper care is placed in every fields, any business can be a success. He also says that instead of starting in a large scale, better find the smallest possibilities that you can, and start your business from there. Then gradually build upon it. Also start with what you have in your hands and never go for loans in business. Never think that you will be a grand success at first, always prepare for failures, but never lose hope. He also things that the most important quality that businessman must have is his attitude when he have nothing as well as when he have everything. Even when you stand at the peak of success, you must acknowledge each and every person who have helped you to reach greater heights. His establishments have a well prepared plants for the forthcoming days and hope that each and every one of them will become a grand success.
