An Indian business family's 100-year journey in Dubai

The UAE is a land of opportunities under the wise leadership and if one has an innovative mindset and passion then no one can stop him from being successful, said Deepak Bhatia, an Indian expatriate and member of a prominent business family.

Deepak Bhatia, managing director of one of Dubai’s oldest establishments Uncle’s Shop, will celebrate his 50th birthday next month on August 10. He is the son of Vijay Bhatia, the first Indian film distributor in the UAE who launched several successful businesses apart from maintaining his family establishment, Uncle’s Shop, a trading venture he set up with his father, Utamchand Bhatia, in the 1930s.

With its legacy of 100 years in Dubai, the Bhatia family first stepped on Dubai shores when Deepak’s grandfather, Utamchand Bhatia, came with his uncle in 1920 as an 11-year-old boy. “Our roots are in Rajasthan, India but my ancestors moved to Thatta, Sindh (now a small city with fishing business in the Sindh province of Pakistan),” he said while talking to Gulf Today.
