We have all been such sincere aspirants of Western influence and their ideas of luxury, that we often tend to forget our roots. In order to celebrate, appreciate and live in the rich heritage of our country, the students of MGLuxM, April 2017 had the honor of visiting the glorious Taj Falaknuma Palace.

Truly celestial in its being, the name is rightly derived from the works “Falak” (sky) and “Numa” (like). The students experienced a day in the life of the Royals by being escorted by a horse chariot and welcomed by a shower of rose petals. They went ahead to admire and live in the truly inspiring and pioneering Indian luxury. From the Scorpion shaped layout, to quintessential Italian architecture, the cohort experienced luxury in its Indian primitive form.

The cohort also encountered the backbone of this splendid palace, being the HODs of Operations, Sales & Marketing, Customer Relations and Hospitality which assisted them in gaining relevant insights to ensure excellence in the field of luxury. Accompanied by the royal palace team for high-tea, our students surely did benefit largely from their expertise and knowledge.

The city has historically been an international hub for the physical trade, not only for gold, but also many other commodities. Hence, a visit to the Dubai Gold & Commodities Exchange (DGCX) was a must for the students of PG Global Finance & Bachelor of Business Economics - to understand its role and process in the UAE with regional and international contexts. The visit happened on 23rd March 2017.

Established in 2005, DGCX was the region’s first commodity derivatives exchange and has today become the leading derivatives exchange in the Middle East. Students learnt that DGCX is a subsidiary of Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC), a strategic initiative of the Government of Dubai, with a mandate to enhance commodity trade flows through the Emirate. It does so by providing the appropriate physical and financial infrastructure, market, and services required. The Management team of DGCX comprises senior personnel from the commodities, securities and financial services industries, bringing a wealth of experience and expertise to ensure the success of DGCX.
