Bharat Bhatia

Bhatia’s entrepreneurial journey began in 1983 when he moved to Dubai at the age of 18. He started his career as a pickup driver and salesman, earning a modest salary of Dhs1,500. Inspired by Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan, Bhatia was determined to create his own identity and eventually established his own trading firm in 1988. His hard work and perseverance led to the establishment of Conares, a testament to his entrepreneurial spirit and vision. Since founding the company in 1988, Bhatia has transformed it from a modest trading firm into a leading steel producer.

Under his leadership, Conares manufactures steel rebars, pipes, and colour-coated coils, contributing to major UAE projects, including Etihad Rail and Expo 2020.

Beyond steel manufacturing, Bhatia has business interests in the food and beverage and real estate sectors.
