Shyam Bhatia

Alam Steel Group, which began as a modest building materials trading outfit in 1979, has evolved into a major player in steel distribution and processing across the UAE under the stewardship of Bhatia. In recent years, the group has expanded its manufacturing footprint, opening a steel fabrication facility in Dubai and a rebar plant in Abu Dhabi, with capacities up to 300,000 tonnes annually. A passionate cricket aficionado, Bhatia also established the Cricket for Care Foundation and a private cricket museum in Dubai, using sport as a vehicle for philanthropy and community engagement.
