Mumbai’s rapidly evolving skyline framed the backdrop this week as the Dawoodi Bohra community inaugurated the fifth edition of the Saifee Burhani Expo at the Bombay Exhibition Centre.
The three-day event drew thousands of visitors and marked the community’s second major trade gathering in Maharashtra this year, following a strong turnout in Pune.
“This expo reflects a long partnership,” said Taikhoom Mohiyuddin, Head of Economic Development Department of the Dawoodi Bohras.
Progress Across the SBUT Sectors
Abizar Patanwala, Group CFO, Saifee Burhani Upliftment Trust (SBUT), said, “The programme spans nine sectors, with two sectors completed and multiple sectors, including Sectors 4, 5, 6, 7 and 9, currently under development.”
Bridging the Local and Global
Murtaza Jasdanwala, Business Development, Economic Development Division of The Dawoodi Bohra Community, said, “As India’s economy becomes increasingly outward-looking, our objective is to encourage entrepreneurs within the community to engage international markets, explore new geographies and build long-term partnerships grounded in trust, transparency and shared value.”
Rahul Narwekar, Speaker of Maharashtra Legislative Assembly, Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA) Maharashtra, said, “Saifee Burhani Expo (Construction360) plays a critical role in strengthening the construction and real estate ecosystem by bringing together developers, manufacturers, suppliers and innovators under one roof.
As Mumbai and Maharashtra continue to evolve as global hubs for infrastructure and urban development, such forums enable collaboration, knowledge exchange and sustainable business growth across the value chain.”
