Aurion Fest 2026 brought together Aurion Business Consultants’ leadership, guests, employees and partners to recognise two decades of the firm’s operations in corporate advisory services. Dr Omar Almarzooqi, ambassador extraordinary, attended as chief guest, while Ahmed Saleh inaugurated the event as special guest of honour.

The opening included a ceremonial lamp lighting by the guests alongside Aurion founder and managing director Syam P. Prabhu, executive director Karan Syam and Dr Natasha Syam.

Investor services and digital transformation

In his anniversary address, Syam P. Prabhu described corporate service providers as an initial point of contact for overseas investors seeking to establish companies in the UAE. He said such providers need sufficient knowledge of company-related decrees, regulations and rules.

He also highlighted Aurion’s digital transformation efforts, including the adoption of AI-based software and applications, which the company views as a way to improve service efficiency and quality.

Karan Syam linked the company’s 20 years as a business advisory firm to its contribution to the UAE economy.

Employee and partner recognition

The event included golden recognition awards for long-serving employees, strategic partner awards for associates, and thanksgiving and loyalty awards for supporters and well-wishers.

“These awards are a token of gratitude from Aurion to our associates and supporters for their trust and encouragement,” Syam P. Prabhu said.

A musical performance by a Filipino band formed part of the anniversary programme.
