The multinational firm, based in Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), specialises in offsite manufacturing technology in several industries, including healthcare, education, sports and agriculture.

In 2016, the company revealed plans to open a $100m manufacturing plant in Dubai’s Jebel Ali. In the same year, it announced the launch of its first fully integrated manufacturing offsite park in India. It is safe to say, then, that Kottikollon made the right decision in stepping away from the family business.

Kottikollon is not a bad boss either, reportedly investing $5m in a community centre in Ajman dedicated to his staff.
