Dugasta Properties proudly marks a defining moment from the Icons of the UAE event, where Mr. Tauseef Khan, Chairman and Founder of Dugasta Properties, was honoured with the distinguished “Icon of the Decade” award. The award ceremony was hosted by NKN Media, in media partnership with the India Today Group, and took place at Taj Exotica Resort and Spa, The Palm, Dubai. The event brought together the UAE’s influential leaders and changemakers to celebrate excellence across sectors.

The Icons of the UAE event celebrates individuals whose influence has extended far beyond a single milestone. It recognises leaders who have built credibility through consistent contribution and who have shaped meaningful change within their industries and the nation. Being named “Icon of the Decade” was not simply a moment of applause for our Chairman and Dugasta Properties. It stood as a powerful statement of legacy, shaped by vision, sustained through consistency and resilience, and proven through real impact that has earned trust over time.

For Dugasta Properties, the recognition carried deep significance as it reflected the values and journey that have guided Mr. Tauseef Khan’s path for more than three decades. With his extensive experience, he has led with clarity through shifting market cycles, evolving investor expectations, and changing industry demands. His leadership has reflected disciplined decision-making, long- term thinking, and a steady commitment to building not only for the present, but also for the future.

The honour also reflects the principles that have shaped Dugasta Properties into a name associated with trust, transparency, and value-led development in Dubai’s real estate landscape. Under Mr. Tauseef Khan’s leadership, the company has remained anchored to a core belief: real estate has never been only about structures; it has always been about people. Reflecting on this philosophy, he shared, “When I founded Dugasta, I did not just dream of buildings. I dreamt of communities, of futures where families could thrive, and a city that would stand as a global icon.” His words capture the spirit behind the recognition, leadership that has gone beyond projects and portfolios, and has stood for progress, contribution, and responsibility.

For Dugasta Properties, the recognition has also reaffirmed what the brand has consistently stood for as a Dubai-based developer. Leadership has mattered most when it has strengthened trust, placed transparency at the centre of every promise, and created progress that has been sustainable rather than temporary. These values have guided how Dugasta has built,ncommunicated, and delivered long-term value across every touchpoint, from investor confidence to community experience.
