Mohammad Alabbar, founder of the famous company Emaar, which built the world’s tallest building ‘Burj Khalifa’, has expressed his respect for Indian professionals. During a recent summit held in Abu Dhabi, Alabbar praised the work ethics and unwavering dedication of Indians and explained why Indians remain at the top of his company’s top hiring list.

“The Indian spirit picks up the phone even at 1 in the night.”

Alabbar talked about the way Indians work in a very interesting manner. He said, there is no dearth of talent in the world, but the hard work and discipline that Indians have has no match. If you call an Indian employee for work even at 1 o’clock in the night, he is ready to answer with full energy.

He stressed that ‘discipline’ and ‘hard work’ are more important than ‘smart work’. Giving his own example, he said, my IQ may be average, but my hard work is the best in the world. This same spirit is also seen in Indians, which I call ‘Positive Paranoia’ i.e. a positive passion towards work.

India: A unique confluence of talent and stability

For Mohammad Alabbar, India is not only a source of workforce but also the world’s most emerging market. Referring to the global economy, he said, is there any other country in the world today which is bigger, more stable and continuously progressing than India? The answer is – absolutely not.

Sharing the strategy of Emaar Group, he said that his company is now recruiting talent by directly connecting with Indian universities. He said that when talent stops working, only ‘hard work’ leads to victory, and Indians are number one in this matter.

Indian talent remains steadfast even in crisis

Citing the example of the global recession of 2008 and the recent Corona period, Alabbar said that in difficult times, Indian professionals have proved themselves with their mental agility and ability to learn technology. He said that this is the biggest reason why Indians play an important role in every major project of Emaar, from Dubai to Europe.
