The BR Shetty story: How one of UAE's most successful entrepreneurs went bust! When BR Shetty landed in Abu Dhabi in the 1970s, he came with big dreams and just $8 in his pocket. He went on to create the healthcare giant NMC Health and Finablr, a financial services firm, both of whom listed on the London Stock Exchange. But that is only half the story. How could such a massive empire go bust? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqbMJ7ihZaY

BR Shetty and the Missing Millions This is a story of a financial scandal, of fortunes won and lost and political collusion in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) that goes right to the heart of Emirati business and politics. At the centre of it is a self-made Indian billionaire - Dr BR Shetty. As founder of New Medical Centre Health (NMC), Shetty built relationships with the UAE's all-powerful sheikhs that appeared to open doors. Business was booming and, in 2012, NMC was the first Abu Dhabi company to be listed on the London Stock Exchange. The Initial Public Offering (IPO) raised $186m and raised NMC's market value to more than $8bn. The first rumblings of financial trouble, however, came in December 2019 when an American investment firm published a damning report on NMC's finances. NMC's shares plummeted by 48 percent, wiping $1.5bn off the Shetty family fortune. In April 2020, NMC Health went into administration in the United Kingdom for insolvency. Later that month, the UAE Central Bank ordered the seizure of all of Shetty and his family's assets and Shetty left the country. He now sees himself as the victim, claiming alleged fraud and misconduct within NMC - and has promised to clear his name and restore his business reputation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQzLFmIxHlw

Flooding Issues in Mumbai The Urban Design Research Institute (UDRI) delves into the recurring flooding issues in Mumbai and the MMR, and the lack of the city's response i.e. flood mitigation measures/ provisions, to address the same, especially in low-lying areas. Each year, Mumbai, the ‘unstoppable’ city, is brought to a grinding halt by the monsoons. Originally seven islands, Greater Mumbai today, largely sits on reclaimed land, and the city is riddled with low-lying areas, susceptible to water-logging. Our storm water drainage system is over a hundred years old, not designed to deal with the large amounts of rainfall and surface run-offs that we have witnessed over the past two decades. Each year, the flooding greatly impacts Greater Mumbai’s suburban railway network, the city’s main lifeline, the working of the financial capital is disrupted and it witnesses enormous economic losses with stories of people stranded in trains, wading through waist-deep waters amidst floating cars or staying back in their offices. This year on year flooding has not receded, in fact, it encompasses a larger area each year with several parts of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region also facing severe flooding for the past decade. However, there are hardly any planning initiatives taken to mitigate the impact or to start building resilience. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mW9CPF2hHTU
