Emirati Jiu-Jitsu stars win 23 medals, athletes grab 11 medals, and People of Determination excel with 14 medals
"I am fortunate to live in a country like the UAE, which is home to nearly 200 nationalities. It is the most secure and peaceful place in the planet, a country of compassion and tolerance, and a harmonious meeting place of all religions in the world," said Shamsudheen.
During the virtual event, Emirati columnist and researcher Sultan Sooud Al Qassemi; Indian businessman and philanthropist C J George; and Dr Azad Moopen, chairman of Aster DM Healthcare, all praised Shamsudheen for his contributions towards the financial and social growth of the UAE.
The social worker was also the founder and director of Barjeel Geojit Securities LLC, and founder and chairman of Pravasi Bandhu Welfare Trust, an NGO registered in India, working for the financial education and welfare of non-resident Indians (NRIs).
Besides his successful career, Shamsudheen has been known as the go-to expert of people who had been stuck in debt.
"He has actually saved nearly 300 debt-ridden expats of different nationalities from the brink of suicide," said Indian expats at the virtual thanksgiving. The people Shamsudheen has mentored now run successful businesses and are completely debt-free.
"My ambition to set up a trustworthy brokerage house in the UAE was materialised when Barjeel Geojit Financial Services LLC was born in the year 2001."
Today, the company has grown to a successful investment house with over 200,000 investors. In the same year, Shamsudheen opened Pravasi Bandhu Welfare Trust, a registered NGO in India. "Since then, I have counselled countless NRIs on the importance of having a systematic investment plan," he said.
Throughout his career in the UAE, KV Shamsudheen has challenged several economic and welfare reforms made by Indian government bodies, which he believed would have a negative impact on NRIs. His tireless efforts have reversed reforms relating to the Indian passport, the Aadhar card, the PAN card, and NRI voting rights.
