Dubai’s status as a global hotspot for innovation, investment, and entrepreneurship continues to draw high-impact individuals to its shores. Among the latest is Anosh Ahmed, a Pakistan-born, US-raised physician, investor, and philanthropist who has officially expanded his diverse portfolio of ventures into the UAE.
With its strategic geographic location connecting Europe, Asia, and Africa, Dubai gives businesses access to over 2.5 billion people within a four-hour flight. For Anosh Ahmed, this unique positioning played a central role in his decision to grow his operations in the region.
“Dubai is more than just a city — it’s a gateway to global markets,” Ahmed noted. “We see tremendous potential here, both in terms of innovation and economic contribution.”
Dubai’s tax-free environment for many sectors adds to its appeal. With zero corporate and personal income taxes in most industries, entrepreneurs enjoy an environment that fosters financial growth and business stability.
Dubai offers world-class infrastructure that enables businesses to scale efficiently. From state-of-the-art airports to specialized business zones like Dubai Healthcare City, the city provides a robust foundation for growth.
For Anosh Ahmed, whose focus spans healthcare, real estate, and media, this infrastructure is key.
“Whether it's cutting-edge medical services or smart real estate developments, the support systems here are exceptional,” he explained. “The ability to scale quickly and access world-class facilities is what sets Dubai apart.”
The UAE has made significant strides in creating a pro-business ecosystem. With simplified licensing procedures, investor-friendly reforms, and long-term visas, the government ensures that entrepreneurs have the security and flexibility they need to thrive.
Anosh Ahmed emphasized the importance of this support. “Dubai offers the kind of political and economic stability that entrepreneurs need. The commitment to transparency and investor protection here is unmatched.”
In particular, Dubai’s strong legal framework protects intellectual property and business interests, making it an ideal destination for forward-thinking enterprises.
Another driving factor behind Ahmed’s move is Dubai’s multicultural, highly skilled workforce. The city attracts professionals from around the globe, creating a vibrant, collaborative environment.
“The diversity of talent available here aligns perfectly with our multidisciplinary approach to business,” said Anosh Ahmed.
Beyond the professional benefits, Dubai’s high quality of life — including modern infrastructure, diverse culture, and a strong emphasis on sustainability — adds to its appeal for both executives and their families.
Looking ahead, Anosh Ahmed has ambitious plans to introduce disruptive technologies and community-oriented projects to Dubai. In healthcare, his team is working on bringing innovative telehealth solutions to the region. In real estate, the focus will be on sustainable, community-driven developments. And in media, Ahmed plans to support platforms that amplify meaningful stories and social change.
“We’re not just here to do business,” he stated. “We’re here to create impact — in how people access healthcare, how communities are built, and how stories are told.”
He also plans to leverage Dubai’s global events and expos as a platform to form new partnerships and accelerate growth.
