A prolific and deeply researched author, Dr. Ram Buxani is the author of two books – Taking the High Road and SindhisGod’s Gift to Global Economy.

Taking the High Road, first published in 2003 has now successfully completed three editions and has been translated into seven languages, including in Arabic.

This fascinating hardcover takes readers on a journey to the early days of his own life and through the story of Dubai’s remarkable transformation from a small trading post to a global business hub.

Charting 50 years of Dr. Buxani’s corporate career as well as his early years, the book is regarded as a modern classic on the life of expatriate Indians in the UAE as well as a rich source of historic information on Dubai.

Sindhis – God’s Gift to Global Economy is a compelling portrait by Dr. Buxani on the travails endured by the Sindhis, and how despite all odds, they succeeded, underlining that ‘success is not built on success, it is built on failure, it is built on frustration, sometimes it is built on catastrophe.’ It is indeed, a vivid description of the community that holds the Indian flag high across the world.
