The event, to be held on November 29, is a global leadership platform that convenes annually in the UAE and showcases Asia's best business enterprises and initiatives by bringing together leading business leaders from three key regions of the Asian juggernaut - the Gulf, India and South-East Asia.
"The relationship between India and the UAE is one of mutual respect and friendship, and knowledge forums in the UAE where India is well presented, create the right atmosphere to further facilitate bilateral co-operation," organisers of the event said.
Notable Indian leaders from various sectors including Industry, Infrastructure, Energy, Healthcare, Education, Technology and Finance have been invited to this platform.
Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani, one of India's top infrastructure and energy conglomerates, said, "We are committed to the potential of Asia, investing in the West Asian region and leveraging the India-UAE relationship, hence our endorsement for the ABLF initiative since 2011."
