Skandha Media Services expands MENA presence with new office in Dubai
The regional base will enhance client relationships, strengthen partnerships and provide executive-level support. Skandha Media Services, a provider of cloud-native media operations and broadcast solutions, has inaugurated a new office in Dubai Media City, strengthening its commitment to the Middle East and North Africa's rapidly evolving media landscape. This move follows the company's growing regional momentum, including the appointment of Neha Modi as Managing Partner – Product and Growth in 2024, and addresses the rising need for scalable, cost-efficient media services powered by cloud technology. The Dubai office is designed as a consultative hub where Skandha can engage more closely with clients and partners. The company aims to foster deeper collaboration and provide in-person support, which is increasingly vital for media organisations that are embracing agile, digital-first strategies. Skandha's operational backbone remains its Global Media Capability Centres (GMCCs) in India, which deliver AI- and machine learning-enabled managed services across playout, ad tech, and content workflows. By combining this global delivery infrastructure with a local presence, Skandha is enhancing its ability to deliver strategic value to MENA media enterprises. Yogesh Salian, founder and CEO of Skandha Media Services, said: 'With strong regional interest and growing demand for flexible delivery models, this office is an important step toward being locally available while globally capable. Combined with the scale and reliability of our GMCCs, we're ready to help MENA media businesses thrive in a platform-first future.' Skandha's services leverage advanced cloud infrastructure, automation, and artificial intelligence to empower broadcasters, OTT platforms, content owners, rights holders, and brands with reliable, scalable solutions. Its portfolio includes dynamic playout systems and centralised resources designed to meet the commercial and operational demands of modern media operations. The Middle East's surging investment in sports infrastructure and major events such as Formula 1 and the FIFA World Cup has fueled demand for live streaming and content monetisation. Industry analysts expect the region's sports sector to grow by 8.7% by 2026—more than twice the global average—creating new revenue opportunities for aggregators, rights holders, and advertisers. As interest in Arabic-language content and niche sports continues to expand, Skandha will help clients navigate new monetisation models and implement data-driven audience strategies. The company's established relationships and in-depth market knowledge provide a strong foundation for impactful partnerships. 'Having a physical presence in Dubai Media City allows us to crystallise deeper, face-to-face relationships with our clients and partners across the region,' added Neha Modi. 'It's a consultative space—built to support collaboration, strategic planning, and a shared vision for media innovation.'

Chestertons Unites Global Network in London to Reinforce Cross-Border Real Estate Momentum
Chestertons, the 220-year-old global property consultancy, recently convened its international network in London in June for a two-day showcase of cross-border opportunity, technological advancement, and real estate leadership. Bringing together partners, clients, and affiliates from around the world, the Chestertons Global London Summit and the London Roadshow offered a comprehensive view of the group's global progress while reinforcing its unique role as a connector between the UK and Dubai property markets. Championing Innovation Held across two dynamic days in Mayfair on the 9th,10th and 11th of June, the dual events reflected the brand's efforts to advance its global partnerships and facilitate impactful dialogue between investors and market experts. The Chestertons Global Summit served as a strategic platform for international affiliates to share updates, achievements, and future plans, while spotlighting key developments in the group's innovation and impact agenda. Meanwhile, the London Roadshow, hosted by Chestertons MENA, focused on delivering high-value investment insights to high-net-worth clients and prospects interested in UAE's flourishing property market. Chestertons' Global Summit At the heart of the Global Summit was Chestertons' commitment to continuous innovation, highlighted by the announcement of two significant technology integrations. One of these, a newly announced partnership with Kendal, introduces an AI-driven WhatsApp integration on the Chestertons Global website—enabling 24/7 client engagement, instant responses to property inquiries, and more efficient lead conversion. Together, these platforms mark a pivotal moment in Chestertons' digital evolution, enhancing client service while streamlining agent workflows. 'The Global Summit was an opportunity to align with our global partners and showcase our innovation, growth, and the value we deliver to clients across borders,' said Mohamed Mussa, Head of Chestertons Global. 'With Dubai and London both representing key pillars in our network, this event enabled us to demonstrate how we're actively bridging those markets for the benefit of our investors and clients.' The London Roadshow Running concurrently with the Summit in a separate room at the same venue, The London Roadshow was tailored to UK-based investors exploring opportunities in Dubai's dynamic residential and commercial sectors. Sessions covered Dubai's economic trajectory, the strength of its off-plan market, the advantages of the golden visa scheme, and holistic support services including banking, asset management, and long-term planning. Attendees also benefited from personalised consultations with Chestertons' Dubai-based specialists to explore tailored investment strategies. Adding further depth to the event, key representatives from the Dubai office — Rahma Bacha (Director of Residential), Ziman Li (Property Consultant), and Marwan Tayara (Associate Director – Off Plan) — were in attendance, offering on-the-ground perspective and regional expertise. According to Mania Merrikhi, Chief Operating Officer and Managing Director of Chestertons MENA, 'There is a clear two-way appetite for investment between Dubai and London. UK-based investors are increasingly looking to Dubai for its strong rental yields, tax advantages, and growth potential, while we also see sustained interest from GCC investors in London's prime and super-prime sectors. Our role is to facilitate that flow of capital and provide clients with expert guidance and global insight.' Chestertons' Recent Initiatives The Summit also highlighted Chestertons' social impact commitments, with a dedicated session on the Chestertons Foundation and its ongoing support of the Sand Dams initiative in southeast Kenya. With a goal to raise £40,000 to build a new sand dam in Makueni County, the initiative aims to deliver year-round access to clean water for over 500 people, empowering communities with long-term resilience and security. The Foundation also encouraged attendees to get involved through donations, fundraising challenges, client-gifting campaigns, and social advocacy. 'As a brand with over two centuries of heritage, we know that our future depends on how well we adapt, connect, and lead,' added Mohamed Mussa. 'Through our various efforts, we aim to build a future that reflects our values of trust, clarity, and global impact.' Looking ahead, Chestertons will continue to deepen its presence across key global markets, champion innovation that enhances client experience, and foster cross-border investment flows that benefit both individuals and communities. With upcoming activations planned in the UAE, Europe, and the Caribbean, and a continued focus on digital transformation and sustainability, the momentum sparked in London marks only the beginning of an ambitious new chapter for Chestertons on the world stage.
