Emaar’s Mohamed Alabbar Shares Why He Likes To Hire And Work With Indians

• The founder of Emaar Properties recently made headlines after sharing why he prefers hiring Indians… and his answer came down to one thing: work ethic.

• Speaking at the Make it in the Emirates summit in Abu Dhabi, Alabbar spoke about resilience, discipline, and what it really takes for businesses to survive tough times. But one particular line from his talk instantly caught everyone’s attention online.

• “Hard work beats talent when talent fails to work hard… and this is why I like to hire Indians, because they answer the phone even at one o’clock in the morning.”

• According to him, success isn’t just about intelligence or talent… it’s about showing up, staying disciplined, checking your work constantly, and pushing through challenges even during uncertain times.

• Some people agreed with his point about discipline and hustle culture, especially in high-pressure industries where responsiveness matters. Others debated whether being available 24/7 should really be considered the benchmark.

FACT CHECK: Officials Dismiss Media Claims Of UAE-Based Indians Evacuating Through Fujairah Port

• A recent report by an Indian media house claiming that Indians in the UAE will be helped by being evacuated through Fujairah port has officially been shut down by India’s Ministry of External Affairs.

• And the government didn’t mince words either; they called out the misleading report as “false and baseless”.

• The report suggested there was an agreement already being discussed behind the scenes, where India and the UAE were allegedly working on a plan to evacuate Indian expats through Fujairah port.

• Once the report started circulating, India’s Ministry of External Affairs Fact Check team were quick to shut it down.

• They stated through a public post on X that there was “no basis in fact” to the reports and confirmed that no evacuation process is being planned for Indians living in the UAE.

• They also urged people to avoid sharing unverified information online.
