Chairman’s Message
Paras Shahdadpuri is a former diplomat with the Indian Foreign Services and has served in various Indian diplomatic missions in China, the US, Saudi Arabia, and Libya. In 1987, he took an unconventional decision of quitting his diplomatic career in favour of entrepreneurship with his initial foray into business in the UK. It was sheer coincidence that he happened to visit Dubai on his way to London and he experienced love-at-first-sight for the amazing city. He soon decided to move to Dubai. He has now been in UAE for 35 years.
Presently he is the Chairman of the Nikai Group of Companies with business interests in electronics, appliances, food, FMCG products, staffing & outsourcing, 3PL logistics and Digital Transformation and Digital Twin solutions. With offices in UAE, Oman, China, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Georgia, and other countries, the Group employs around 6500 employees.
Recently in late 2022, Shahdadpuri was elected as the Chairman of The Electronics Group representing the electronics industry, a vertical group set up under the aegis of Dubai Chambers.
Under his Vision - To represent, interact and advise various regulatory authorities on policy advocacy and to develop The Electronics Group as a catalyst body to be a strong voice of the Electronics Industry, and to dynamically evolve, support and add value to its members by providing high-quality products at competitive prices to the end consumer. – The group endeavors to stay relevant and play a vital role in an industry that contributes over 15 billion AED to the UAE economy.
