Success Stories of Entrepreneurs in the UAE
Rizwan Sajan started his company in the UAE with a few thousand dirhams in 1993; today its revenues total AED 5.13 billion.
Sajan moved to Dubai in 1993 and began working in a hardware store. The same year, he founded Danube as a small trading firm. His clear vision helped the business grow, and today it has a large customer base across the Gulf, Asia and Africa, with a presence beyond the UAE in Bahrain, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, India and China.
"The UAE was, and will remain a land of opportunity, and has attracted international talented professionals and entrepreneurs from all over the world. This has helped us foreigners not only develop ourselves, but also contribute to the UAE's society and economy," says Sajan.
As part of the company's corporate social responsibility plans, Sajan founded the Danube Welfare Society, which provides free training courses to help unskilled workers improve their language skills and develop their careers. Learn more about Danube's journey.
