Entrepreneurship isn't just about making money; it's also about giving back to society. Some are working out ways to contribute to different causes, while others are already doing that. When there's a mention of leading philanthropists, the names that come to our mind are Warren Buffet and Bill Gates. However, when we think about the Emirati billionaires and millionaires, the first name that comes up is Obaid Belresheed, the founder of Belresheed Group. This multi-billionaire businessman is known for his generous donations to charity and is often listed in the category of world's most philanthropic entrepreneurs. And yet again, Belresheed has turned the spotlight towards himself by donating a whopping Dh 1 million to the UAE government. 

In a recent move, Belresheed was recently honored for his commendable contribution towards UAE's Year of Giving Initiative, established by President His Highness Shaikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan. Through this donation, Belresheed aims to amplify UAE's developmental progress and empower the national workforce needed to attain sustainable growth to provide a better future for the generations to come. Not only that, but the Emirati entrepreneur has also put a foot forward to participate in strengthening and supporting all the major public initiatives by the UAE government. 

In fact, among other things, Belresheed, in the recent past, also hit the headlines for all things right, when he was found being involved in building several schools across UAE and not to forget, a mosque in Sharjah, as a way to dedicate his passion and love for construction and development. Tracing his roots to the Emirati royal family, Belresheed's work through his business as well as social initiatives have not only played an important role in the development of the country but has employed more than 1700 people of different nationalities. 

Belresheed's commitment to tackling social issues do not stop here. Owing to the devastation caused due to the coronavirus pandemic, the UAE-based entrepreneur even pledged thousands of lakhs of PPE kits to support the relentless efforts taken by frontliners to combat the outbreak. In his personal view, the success of any business lies in its people and trust created with the customers, not money or fame. And the same people and trust built over the years help him face the challenges head-on believes Belresheed. 

To this, he further added, "Right when I started Belresheed Group, I was keen on forming an extended family, not team, where talent is nurtured, and cultures are valued. I have employees and clients from all across the world, with different backgrounds and nationalities. However, that doesn't stop us from coming together to work towards a common purpose. Same goes with charity work - it doesn't matter whether a crisis has hit my country or another. As far as my contribution makes the world a better place, I'd never think twice before doing it. Not just now, in the near future too, I'll always look forward to giving back to society in some or the other form."

Through his exceptional business acumen and drive to become successful more than he already is, Belresheed has managed to expand wide and tall into almost all the sectors. It is no surprise then that he is considered the most respected, generous, and successful Emirati businessman plus philanthropist.
