New Delhi [India], August 13: In a groundbreaking achievement, H.E. Zeenat Kureshi has become India’s first woman to be appointed as the GCC–India Trade Commissioner under an international chamber of commerce. This historic appointment places her at the forefront of strengthening luxury diplomacy and economic cooperation between India and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) nations.
Representing a major milestone in bilateral relations, Zeenat Kureshi is pioneering the role of Trade Commissioner in the luxury sector—a domain that blends high-value commerce with cultural exchange. Her work will focus on building strategic alliances between premium Indian industries and the GCC’s expanding luxury markets.
The GCC, comprising Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, remains one of India’s most influential trade partners. However, the luxury trade segment has largely remained underdeveloped. Zeenat Kureshi aims to bridge this gap by facilitating high-level collaborations, introducing luxury brands to new markets, and supporting cross-border trade policies that enhance economic growth for both regions.
