Crescendo Worldwide & SCCI: Driving UAE–India Trade Growth Through Strategic Partnerships

The UAE–India trade corridor continues to evolve as one of the fastest-growing bilateral trade relationships in the world, fueled by the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA). At the heart of this growth is the Sharjah Chamber of Commerce & Industry (SCCI), which has been actively fostering investment opportunities through targeted trade missions and business forums. In July 2025, the Sharjah–India Business Connect brought key investors, SMEs, and industry leaders together in Mumbai to explore new possibilities.

Crescendo Worldwide, a global business advisory firm, partnered with SCCI to ensure seamless event execution, from strategy and matchmaking to sector-focused insights—bridging opportunities for both Indian and UAE companies.
