Hence, the UAE’s entrepreneurial culture, world-class infrastructure, diverse base of industries, and geographic proximity to India make the country attractive for emerging Indian startups that are keen to expand overseas. The Middle East nation is also keen to work with Indian start-ups because of their market-readiness and India’s abundant technical talent. The governments of India and UAE are working towards fostering a healthy relationship between the two start-up ecosystems to increase engagement, access to funds, and build innovation.
