Ankur Aggarwal and Vivek Anand Oberoi have established BNW Developments as one of the fastest-scaling real estate firms in the Middle East, with over AED 22 billion in assets under developments.
Aggarwal, a Chartered Accountant who transitioned from finance to real estate in 2021, serves as Chairman and Founder, while Oberoi, globally recognised as an actor and entrepreneur, is Co-Founder and Managing Director. Their portfolio includes design-forward projects such as Taj Wellington Mews, Aqua Arc, FashionTV Acacia, and Orvessa. Recognised as the largest private developer in Ras Al Khaimah, BNW operates with a 400+ strong team and zero-backlog track record.
“The visionary governance of the Emirates and the region's progressive leadership have created a business environment where innovation isn't just encouraged, it's systemically supported,” said Aggarwal.
“For us, real estate isn't just about construction, it's storytelling. It's legacy-building. We wanted to develop spaces that don't just function, but inspire,” Oberoi added.
