00:00I've been into business since 1980 myself.

00:03This is actually our fourth generation into business.

00:06My grandfather came into Dubai in 1958 when there was no electricity, no water.

00:11Even UAE was not formed and it was under British rule.

00:15So my father came from Dwarka, shipped to Karachi and then to Dubai.

00:19They started their career as a goldsmith.

00:22They used to work for one of the jeweller family in Bur Dubai.

00:28So there was no gold shop in Dera in those days.

00:32Only two or three stores were available in Bur Dubai which is just next to the water taxi, Agra we call it now.

00:40When you are in Dubai and the country is booming, I don't think there is some big challenges you have to face.

00:47The only thing you need is your focus, concentration and hard work.

00:52I am the fourth generation as my father said.

00:56I started working in the family business since 2013.

01:01Now that the pandemic has hit the entire world, a lot of changes have happened.

01:09There are less tourists of course.

01:11But if we still compare with last year, around March or April,

01:18everybody was fearing that there will be loss of business and we will face many difficulties.

01:26But I think Dubai has bounced back.

01:30We can hope and we can see that there will be some improvement shortly.

01:36There won't be a major change in our strategy as such.

01:40But definitely we will have to put more focus into our existing business

01:46and making sure we keep our clients happy.
