The awards, now in their 11th cycle, are under the patronage of and in the name of H.H.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Yusuffali said, “On behalf of the LuLu Group, I am honoured to receive this award which I consider as a recognition in the name of one of the world’s greatest business-statesman, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Vice President and Prime Minister, and Ruler of Dubai, who continues to set the pace for national development that has transformed Dubai and made it a centre of global enterprise and excellence. This Award strengthens our commitment to always be a partner of progress in the UAE’s bright future.”
Mr. Yusuffali further added that the LuLu Group was proud of its foundation as a UAE enterprise, which has spanned the world with a rich portfolio of associated businesses and said that he was looking to lead the post-pandemic period of growth. The Group is geared towards aggressive expansion in Dubai and other Emirates.
