Nithij Arenja, MD of Qi Lifecare in Mumbai, said, "This is the time to invest. u00a0 Dubai is not just a market on its own, but also a gateway to the Middle East. This is a huge opportunity." However, there are some who disagree. Vijay Kalantri, chairperson, All India Association of Industries, said, "Now is not the time to invest in Dubai. Many people are leaving Dubai, so I am not optimistic." Added Nikai group chairperson and president of the Indian Business and Professional Council in Dubai, Paras Shahdadpuri, "Dubai remains an attractive option for investors though interest may shift to Abu Dhabi. Dubai's construction boom between 2005 and 2007 has reduced in the last year, whereas projects in Abu Dhabi have picked up."
