Dubai, UAE | November 13, 2026

DANA Group is pleased to share that Dr. Ruchi Dana, Board Member of DANA Group, has been featured in Khaleej Times as part of its special editorial series, “Global Indians of the UAE: The Bridge Builders.”

The feature, titled “From Medicine to AI, Reshaping a Family Business,” explores Dr. Ruchi Dana’s professional journey, her transition into the business world and her role in shaping the next phase of a family enterprise built and headquartered in the UAE.

An Indian-origin family with longstanding roots in the UAE, the Dana family has been part of the country’s business landscape across generations. Today, DANA Group operates from the UAE, serving international markets and exporting to more than 80 countries worldwide.

The Group’s business interests are centred around three core industrial sectors: steel, cooling and chilling solutions, and lubricants and greases.

Its steel operations focus on flat steel and value-added steel products, while its cooling division provides cooling and chilling solutions for a range of applications. Through its lubricants and greases business, the Group also serves customers across diverse international markets.

Dr. Ruchi Dana’s journey reflects the evolution of a family business that continues to adapt, expand and explore new possibilities while remaining grounded in its UAE roots.

The Global Indians of the UAE series celebrates Indian-origin individuals who have made meaningful contributions to the UAE’s business and professional landscape. Under the theme The Bridge Builders, the feature recognises people whose journeys connect communities, industries and generations.

For DANA Group, being part of this recognition is particularly meaningful. It reflects not just an individual’s professional journey, but also the story of a family that has built its business and life in the UAE while establishing a presence across global markets.
