- 5:05Dubai as your colleague was I was
- 5:07speaking to your colleague you was
- 5:08saying like the the focus is is moved
- 5:11from France as the fashion Capital now
- 5:13it is becoming Dubai and I want to hear

- 5:38supportive support to the business
- 5:41community and Beauty World is one of the
- 5:44venue and D all also they did very best
- 5:49I think they they are doing very best
- 5:51not good but best to support to the
- 5:53perfumer industry now from low price to
- 5:57high price it is a requirement of the
- 5:59the market
- 6:00correct 300 products is not easy job it
- 6:05means every day you have to produce one
- 6:07product if you're going to produce 300
- 6:10products it means every day remaining 50
- 6:1365 days is a holidays so I don't count
- 6:15those holidays I count 300 working days
- 6:18so every day one product development is
- 6:21is a challenge again Almighty bracing
- 6:24but passion should be there and I have a
- 6:27passion so I'm I'm continuing and I I'm
- 6:31I'm planning for another 500 products
- 6:33for
- 6:342025 and I'm sure next year you will see
- 6:37the result and except Market is Big
- 6:41earlier the GCC was the only market now
- 6:44the people from America Latin America
- 6:47Canada EUR European countries are
- 6:50targeting Beauty World targeting the GCC
- 6:54manufacturing products and that's why
- 6:56Market is booming and now the standard
- 7:00has changed before there was no
- 7:02telephone today we have
- 7:05iPhone so today there was only oils at
- 7:09today now the this become a fashion this
- 7:12become nothing but
