While the majority of us abide by the maxim that patience is a virtue, managing director of Zuri Hotels and Resorts, Bobby Kamani couldn’t disagree more! “Zuri is a Group that has found great value in the virtue of impatience - the impatience to be the best and to explore newer territories and approaches with a die-hard dedication to make it work. The future will see us continuing with the same intent - 2010 and beyond…” he says.

Splitting his time between Bangalore and Dubai, he can see many similarities between his Middle Eastern home and his progressive hospitality brand, “Dubai is buzzing, trendy and young – a lot like brand Zuri. My life here is hectic, challenging yet exciting all at the same time!” Citing the cosmopolitan society of Dubai as a major plus point to living in the Emirates, Bobby is also impressed by the multicultural nature of the city: “The UAE has been blessed with visionary leaders who have unified the country and put it on the right path towards diversification and competitiveness. The best part of my job is working with various organisations and individuals from different spheres in life, business, industry, culture and background.” This is good news for the man whose friends describe him as “super social, extremely outgoing and larger than life!”

“My father always told me to make a decision - right or wrong. If you were right, all well and good. If you were wrong, you will learn from it. Making no decision is the worst!”
