Jewellery and diamond entrepreneur Sneh Binny shares a special connection with Dubai. He travels there quite a number of times for work and also to meet friends and relatives.
“I was not born and raised in Dubai. I keep going there for work and such related activities or sometimes it’s a leisure trip, especially for shopping. I have relatives and friends in the city as well. Dubai is considered a happy place to live and shop because there is everything you need there. There are endless things that you can do there. You can taste multiple cuisines from across the world, travel, do some high adrenaline activities,” he says.
Rules and regulations in Dubai are strict and Sneh feels that it’s another plus of the city. “People think twice before going against the law. I think that’s what rules are meant for, and that’s how a place like Dubai that has so many different cultures can get along with respecting each and every culture and person there. They are all living in peace, maintaining sanity,” adds the co-owner of Delhi Binny’s Brigade, a part of the Tennis Premier League (TPL).
About the places he loves the most in Dubai and would also recommend someone who is visiting the city for the first time, Sneh mentions the name of Jumeirah Beach Residence or JBR first.
“Whenever I am in Dubai, I try to stay there. That area is always lively. There are a lot of people there. It’s touristy and there’s a beautiful beach where something or the other is happening every day, day and night. That area is definitely fun. Other than JBR, Palm Jumeirah is also beautiful. One can also visit Burj Khalifa, the beautiful malls, try desert safari etc. People think Dubai doesn’t have mountains but it does. I would also recommend visiting Hatta, where you can experience beautiful mountains and fields. One should also try all the fun activities there,” he says.
Migration to Dubai from all over the world is the maximum. When asked why does that happen and what are the advantages in living in the city, Sneh explains, “I think that’s because Dubai has everything you need in terms of luxury, food, quality of life and so on. It’s not so expensive to buy a house or a car or whatever things that you’d need compared to India or any other country as they don’t really have taxes. They just have VAT so that’s what keeps things cheap. They are heavily based on technology, so everything is quite easy there. Dubai is open to immigrants and has favorable laws for them.”

Sneh Binny shares that he started planning his career when he was in 10th grade. However, things didn’t go exactly the way he had imagined it to work out.
“My career rather turned out to be better than what I expected out of it. Things came up that I never imagined would and it all turned out to be great. I feel grateful,” says the entrepreneur, who started Binny’s World, Binny’s Jewels UAE and also co-owns Delhi Binny’s Brigade (the tennis team that is a part of Tennis Premier League) along with actor-director Divya Khosla Kumar.
Sneh agrees that luck is very important and often determines one’s success. “It can make things go with the flow and if you’re lucky enough, it can make worse time turn into a jackpot. I believe in luck. I don’t have an answer, why, but I do. It is just the cherry on the top, and if it clicks at the right time, it makes everything work. The other thing that helps is having a mentor. I have many mentors from around the world. They help me out whenever I face a block,” he adds.
Speaking about his career goals, he continues, “I am currently working on a start-up that will soon be launched. For me, it’s the most important goal to achieve now. I need to be on the Forbes list of 30 under 30. This start-up has a potential to become bigger than Binny’s… I want to do a lot more. Five year down the line I see myself as one of the top entrepreneurs in the country. I am already a serial entrepreneur (WHAT DOES HE MEAN BY THIS??).”
Amid all these, Sneh says that this pandemic has taught him a lot. The way it affected the world economy and several careers, many have started rethinking about that profession. “If the pandemic wouldn’t be around, I wouldn’t have been working on this start-up called SaveEat. These times have taught us a lot and changed the way we look at things,” he says.

When it comes to success, it always better to learn from people who have achieved it on their own terms. One such success stories is of Chris Hall. He is not only an expert in the field of Information and Technology but he also loves to learn new things especially in the world of web development and leadership.

That’s not all, as one of the most amazing things about Chris is that he takes over organizations that are struggling with their current situation and helps them to realise their full potential.

On the surface, it might appear that Chris always had this immense amount of confidence and talent but the truth of the matter is he has worked hard on himself every single day to live the life that he is living today.

While many people blame circumstances for their lives, Chris always knew that he had to try hard to become what he wanted to be. For that, he had few important life lessons in his mind that help him to become who he is today.

According to Chris Hall’, “I created a personal mission statement that I try to live by. It includes, . Every morning I repeat it to myself and hold myself accountable for the previous day. Most days I do very well. But I’m not perfect, and I forgive myself and promise to do better the next day.”

He adds, “My mission is to let the first act of every morning be to make the resolutions, to be generous with both my time and my love, fear only God, learn, as well as teach, not bear ill will toward anyone, stand up to injustice, wherever it may be found.”
