Dubai, UAE, May 8, 2016:  Joy Alukkas has been recognized as one of the top leaders in the Arab world by Forbes Middle East.

Joy Alukkas is no stranger to accolades in his 29 years at the helm of one of the world’s most successful business conglomerates.

“When I embarked on my journey 29 years ago, I had a simple goal: to offer the very best. Each award the Group and I have received since affirms our goal and motivates us to aim even higher moving forward. I express my heartfelt gratitude to the over 8,000 men and women in the Joyalukkas Group workforce whose day to day efforts to give our customers the best shopping experience ever have been invaluable to our growth and success,” said Joy Alukkas, Chairman & MD, Joyalukkas Group.
