DP World chief executive officer Mohammad Sharaf, the company's senior vice president and managing director for the South Asian region Ganesh Raj and senior vice president for corporate communications Sarah Lockie were in the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel when it was attacked.

The company said they are now safe and asked that "their privacy is respected as they reconnect with their families and loved ones."

"DP World condemns the attacks, which targeted entirely innocent people, and we extend our deepest sympathies to the victims and their families," it said in a statement.
