From playing key roles in launching newspapers, radio stations, magazines, digital websites and staging marquee events, Rajeev Khanna – a growth strategist – was extremely fortunate to get a ringside view of the launch of several iconic businesses such as Emirates Airline, Dubai Duty Free, The Internet City, Dubai Shopping Festival and several others during this era of super growth in Dubai.

Rajeev Khanna, Managing Director of Dugasta Properties, says, “As Dugasta Properties charts a new growth strategy, we are dovetailing ourselves with the greater vision of Dubai Government’s D33 strategy”.
“The vision is to make Dugasta the first name that comes to mind when thinking of safe Real Estate investments, the objective is to develop into an investment platform that property owners prefer for best returns. Moving forward, we will create a network of happy residential communities, well located and affordable with all modern amenities”.
Dubai continues to be one of the most vibrant cities in the world, economically robust with a world class infrastructure and socially buoyant. The city lays strong emphasis on security for its residents, this is a feature which has been rapidly attracting families relocating to Dubai from across the globe. The city’s unique multicultural outreach has made it a natural magnet for investments and long-term residents, who now view Dubai not just as an alternative home but as a permanent home.
The government has made it abundantly clear that the population of Dubai needs to double in ten years. If one takes circa 2008 as a benchmark, Dubai doubled it’s population over the past 15 years to current date at phenomenal growth rates (2008-2023), imagine further doubling this base of 2023 in the coming ten years! If you do the math the expected growth by 2033 will be truly amazing!
We at Dugasta look forward to an exciting journey ahead”.
