Indian SMEs Thrive in Dubai’s Free Zones - A Platform for Global Expansion
Dubai’s free zones - such as DMCC, DAFZ, JAFZA, and Dubai Industrial City - are proving to be essential launchpads for Indian small and medium enterprises targeting global expansion. These zones offer a potent mix of benefits: fast-track licensing, 100 percent foreign ownership, zero income tax, full repatriation of profits, and state-of-the-art digital and logistics infrastructure.
With Dubai Chambers actively engaging in Mumbai and Bengaluru, and smart services like DAFZ’s digital clinic and AI‑powered supply‑chain platforms, Indian SMEs can scale without substantial capital outlay while maintaining operational lean‑ness.
For Dubai viewers, particularly within the business and entrepreneurial ecosystem, this underscores the city’s strategic role as a bridge for regional enterprises to build globally competitive models - from homeground to world reach.
