We are providing NRIs an opportunity to realize their aspirations.” Sharing his views on India Property 2006, Gulf, Mr. Nainesh Shah, Chairman, International Exhibitions, MCHI, said, “Indians in the Gulf have a high per capita income and a strong propensity towards saving and investments.

This properly exhibition gives them the perfect platform of fulfilling their dreams as well as making a sound investment decision” added Mr. Shah.
