Mumbai - India, 7 March 2018: In a bid to strengthen ties with overseas clients, Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone (RAKEZ) has inaugurated its new office in India at the strategically important Bandra Kurla Complex in Mumbai. The opening of the office, which was witnessed by His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saqr Al Qasimi, RAKEZ Chairman, VIP government representatives and senior industry leaders, reflects RAKEZ’s extremely important and growing role as a leading investment destination for Indian companies. Nearly 3,000 Indian firms have already chosen RAKEZ because of its cost-effective environment, simplified processes, superior logistics and global connectivity.

This will provide a huge competitive edge they believe, to the Indian companies to compete with international markets as the cost of operations on set up as Ras Al Khaimah Economic would be reduced anywhere from 25 to 50 percent. Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone (RAKEZ) is fast emerging as the world’s fastest growing free and non-free economic zones providing a metropolitan culture for living and working in addition to all the facilities required to set up the industry.

Speaking at the launch event in Mumbai, RAKEZ Chairman, said “For a long time, India has been an important market for us -20% of the companies at RAKEZ are from India. Standing here today, I can see how incredibly dynamic the Indian business community is, right here in the vibrant Bandra Kurla Complex. That’s why we’ve chosen to open our new office here – because it brings us closer our clients and to the exciting diversity of businesses in this region, which I very much hope will soon join us and become part of the RAKEZ family.”
