Entrepreneurship is quite a unique profession in the Arabian Gulf. It requires great courage to risk one’s own money, future career prospects, and even one’s freedom, for a goal that is difficult to attain, writes new BusinessWeekly columnist Mohammed Fakhro.

A Business Administration graduate of Stanford University, Mohammed Fakhro is involved in different capacities in dozens of family business ventures, which include Yellow Chilli, GAC, Suncity Ventures, Gloria Jeans Coffee, Vapiano and many others.
