BOHO GROUP: A Women-Led Conglomerate Emerges as a Notable Presence in Dubai's Business Landscape
The group's journey began with the launch of Meraki Ladies Beauty Lounge in Karama, envisioned as a dedicated space for women's self-care. The lounge gained recognition for its attention to detail in atmosphere and service, reflecting a focus on providing an inclusive environment.
Expanding beyond beauty services, BOHO GROUP introduced Boho Cafe in Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC). The cafe garnered international notice after setting a Guinness World Record for serving the most expensive Karak tea, infused with 23k pure edible gold. The concept juxtaposes premium offerings with accessible pricing, aligning with the founders' philosophy of creating communal spaces that welcome diverse patrons.
The hospitality portfolio further extended with Jimmydixs Restaurant and Lounge, situated within Barcelo Hotel, Al Jaddaf. The venue combines dining and live entertainment and has also secured a Guinness World Record for the world's highest-priced mocktail. Jimmydixs integrates various cultural elements and entertainment formats, catering to Dubai's cosmopolitan community.
Most recently, the group inaugurated Annas & Bhaijan Idli Restaurant in Dubai Investment Park 2 on June 16, 2025. The opening was attended by distinguished guests, including Mr. Iqbal Habtoor and dignitaries from the Private Office. The restaurant features a menu drawing on South Indian, Pakistani, and Chinese cuisines, and includes a monthly tiffin service designed to accommodate working professionals and local families.
In addition to its hospitality ventures, BOHO GROUP has outlined further expansion plans. These include additional branches of Meraki Ladies Beauty Lounge, new outlets for Boho Cafe, and the development of a food bank initiative in Jebel Ali, anticipated to commence by the end of 2025.
Diversification into healthcare is underway, with the planned launch of Aaryan Clinic and Pharmacy, providing services in general medicine, dentistry, orthopedics, and gynecology. The group also aims to establish Urvashi Mini Mart by early 2026 to serve local communities with a curated selection of consumer goods.
Reflecting on BOHO GROUP's trajectory, Dr. Sucheta Sharma acknowledged the leadership of Dubai's rulers as a source of inspiration for the conglomerate's vision. She emphasized the importance of building enterprises anchored in integrity and long-term value.
BOHO GROUP continues to develop initiatives that integrate cultural narrative, operational sustainability, and community engagement, contributing to Dubai's diverse and evolving economic landscape.

Shopping for school supplies becomes a summer activity as families juggle technology and tariffs
NEW YORK — Feeling nostalgic for the days when going back to school meant picking out fresh notebooks, pencils and colored markers at a local drugstore or stationary shop? The annual retail ritual is both easier and more complicated for today's students. Chains like Walmart generate online lists of school supplies for customers who type in their zip codes, then choose a school and a grade level. One click and they are ready to check out. Some schools also offer busy parents a one-stop shop by partnering with vendors that sell premade kits with binders, index cards, pens and other needed items. Yet for all the time-saving options, many families begin their back-to-school shopping months before Labor Day, searching around for the best deals and making purchases tied to summer sales. This year, the possibility of price increases from new U.S. tariffs on imports motivated more shoppers to get a jump start on replacing and refilling school backpacks, according to retail analysts. Retail and technology consulting company Coresight Research estimates that back-to-school spending from June through August will reach $33.3 billion in the U.S., a 3.3% increase from the same three-month period a year ago. The company predicted families would complete about 60% of their shopping before August to avoid extra costs from tariffs. 'Consumers are of the mindset where they're being very strategic and conscientious around price fluctuations, so for back to school, it prompts them to shop even earlier,' said Vivek Pandya, lead analyst at Adobe Digital Insights, the research division of software company Adobe Inc. Miami resident Jacqueline Agudelo, 39, was one of the early birds who started shopping for school supplies in June because she wanted to get ahead of possible price increases from new U.S. tariffs on imported products. The teacher's supply list for her 5-year-old son, who started kindergarten earlier this month, mandated specific classroom items in big quantities. Agudelo said her shopping list included 15 boxes of Crayola crayons, Lysol wipes and five boxes of Ticonderoga brand pencils, all sharpened. Agudelo said she spent $160 after finding plenty of bargains online and in stores, including the crayons at half off, but found the experience stressful. 'I am overwhelmed by the need to stay on top of where the deals are as shopping has become more expensive over the years,' she said. A lot of the backpacks, lined paper, glue sticks — and Ticonderoga pencils — sold in the U.S. are made in China, whose products were subjected to a 145% tariff in the spring. Under the latest agreement between the countries, Chinese goods are taxed at a 30% rate when they enter the U.S. Many companies accelerated shipments from China early in the year, stockpiling inventory at pre-tariff prices. Some predicted consumers would encounter higher prices just in time for the back-to-school shopping season. Although government data showed consumer prices rose 2.7% last month from a year earlier, strategic discounting by major retailers may have muted any sticker shock for customers seeking school supplies. Backpacks and lunchboxes, for example, had discounts as deep as 12.1% during Amazon's Prime Day sales and competing online sales at Target and Walmart in early July, Adobe Insights said. Throughout the summer, some of the biggest chains have are advertising selective price freezes to hold onto customers. Walmart is advertising a 14-item school supplies deal that costs $16, the lowest price in six years, company spokesperson Leigh Stidham said. Target said in June that it would maintain its 2024 prices on 20 key back-to-school items that together cost less than $20. An analysis consumer data provider Numerator prepared for The Associated Press showed the retail cost of 48 products a family with two school age children might need — two lunchboxes, two scientific calculators, a pair of boy's shoes — averaged $272 in July, or $3 less than the same month last year. Numerator, which tracks U.S. retail prices through sales receipts, online account activity and other information from 200,000 shoppers, reported last year that households were buying fewer notebooks, book covers, writing instruments and other familiar staples as students did more of their work on computers . The transition does not mean students no longer have to stock up on plastic folders, highlighters and erasers, or that parents are spending less to equip their children for class. Accounting and consulting firm Deloitte estimates that traditional school supplies will account for more than $7 billion of the $31 billion it expects U.S. parents to put toward back-to-school shopping. Shopping habits also are evolving. TeacherLists, an online platform where individual schools and teachers can upload their recommended supply lists and parents can search for them, was launched in 2012 to reduce the need for paper lists. It now has more than 2 million lists from 70,000 schools. Users have the option of clicking on an icon that populates an online shopping cart at participating retail chains. Some retailers also license the data for use on their websites and in their stores, said Dyanne Griffin, the architect and vice president of TeacherLists. The typical number of items teacher request has remained fairly steady at around 17 since the end of the coronavirus pandemic, Griffin said. 'The new items that had come on the list, you know, in the last four or five years are more the tech side. Everybody needs headphones or earbuds, that type of thing, maybe a mouse,' she said. She's also noticed a lot of schools requiring clear backpacks and pencil pouches so the gear can't be used to stow guns. For consumers who like to research their options before they buy, technology and retail companies have introduced generative AI tools to help them find and compare products. Rufus, the AI-powered shopping assistant that Amazon launched last year , is now joined by Sparky, an app-only feature that Walmart shoppers can use to get age-specific product recommendations and other information in response to their questions. Just over a quarter of U.S. adults say they use AI for shopping, which is considerably lower than the number who say they use AI for tasks such as searching for information or brainstorming, according to an Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll in July . Before the pandemic turned a lot more people into online shoppers, schools and local Parent Teacher Associations embraced the idea of making back-to-school shopping easier by ordering ready-made bundles of teacher-recommended supplies. An extra fee on the price helped raise money for the school. Market data from Edukit , a supplier of school supply kits owned by TeachersList parent company School Family Media, shows that about 40% of parents end up buying the boxes, meaning the other 60% need to shop on their own, Griffin said. She noted that parents typically must commit no later than June to secure a bundle, which focus on essentials like notebooks and crayons. Agudelo said her son's school offered a box for $190 that focused on basics like crayons and notebooks but didn't include a backpack. She decided to pass and shop around for the best prices. She also liked bringing her son along for the shopping trips. 'There's that sense of getting him mentally prepared for the school year,' Agudelo said. 'The box takes away from that.'

Trump's Trifecta: Leveraging tariffs and energy dominance for industrial renewal
President Trump's trade and energy policies are recalibrating the global economic order — and not by accident. Under his leadership, trade is no longer simply about moving goods. It is a tool of strategic policy — one that drives industrial revival, and shapes strategic, economic and national outcomes. Trump's approach is disruptive but methodical. Tariffs create negotiating power, leading to trade agreements that reduce deficits and rewire supply chains. When combined with U.S. energy exports and capital markets, this strategy doesn't just rebalance trade — it reinvigorates American industry. As a senior negotiator on the U.S.-China Phase I Trade Agreement in Treasury during Trump's first term, I saw firsthand that what critics dismissed as 'erratic', 'chaotic' and 'unpredictable' was, in fact, deeply strategic. President Trump's instincts, honed by decades of high-stakes dealmaking, informed a broader strategy. He approached policy like a grandmaster playing three-dimensional chess: every tariff, handshake and message was a calculated move to reassert American economic leadership. Just as in Trump's first term, this administration began by confronting structural imbalances. The 2024 U.S. goods trade deficit hit $1.2 trillion — its highest in history. In response, Trump used executive authority to impose reciprocal tariffs — not as an end in themselves, but as tools to bring others to the table. Starting in early 2025, Trump's targeted tariffs compelled negotiations to rebalance trade relationships and repatriate supply chains. Japan agreed to reduce average industrial tariffs from 25 percent to 15 percent and pledged $550 billion in U.S.-bound investment. The European Union followed suit, agreeing to a framework that includes a baseline 15 percent tariff on industrial goods, expanded market access for U.S. energy, semiconductors, and pharmaceuticals, and a commitment to $420 billion in foreign direct investment into the U.S. And, most recently, the United States also reached a trade agreement with South Korea: Seoul will face a 15 percent duty, reduced from a threatened 25 percent, in exchange for a pledge to invest $350 billion in U.S.-owned projects and purchase $100 billion in American liquefied natural gas and energy products. Indonesia and the Philippines opened markets for U.S. agriculture and energy, while committing to major purchases, including 50 Boeing aircraft. Vietnam accepted 20 percent tariffs and tighter controls on transshipped Chinese goods. Negotiations continue with India, Taiwan and others. Together, these countries now account for $809 billion — or 67 percent — of the 2024 U.S. trade deficit. Once deals with India and Taiwan are finalized, that coverage will exceed three-quarters. A mere 5 percent improvement across these relationships could slash the annual deficit by up to $95 billion. Beyond deficit reduction, these agreements reset incentives. They punish transshipment, enhance transparency and support rules-of-origin provisions that favor North American manufacturing. The result? Companies are investing in new U.S. production — auto components, semiconductors, specialty steel and energy systems. And job creation follows capital. Analysts estimate that up to 1.5 million advanced manufacturing jobs could be brought back to American soil over five years — a far cry from Barack Obama's declaration that some U.S. manufacturing jobs were gone forever. Trade reform paves the way for yet another explosion in growth: deploying U.S. energy and capital into newly aligned partner markets. Programs like America Crece and Asia EDGE, flagship infrastructure growth initiatives during Trump's first term, demonstrated the power of this model. This programming identified and unlocked growth opportunities in our partner countries using American energy exports and American equipment, employing American workers, and financing through American capital markets. In Latin America alone, we identified over $300 billion in infrastructure projects with U.S. private capital in the lead. In Vietnam, we identified $8 billion in near-term energy exports and $50 billion in longer-horizon infrastructure investments. Before the Biden administration ended this programming, we executed on $2.5 billion in transactions in Panama, backed a $3.5 billion facility in Ecuador and laid the groundwork for more than $4 billion in liquefied natural gas-based investment flows into Vietnam. Japan and Taiwan are now adopting this U.S. liquefied natural gas-driven model. Their national priorities — liquefied natural gas security and grid modernization — create natural demand for U.S. energy exports and financing partnerships. Trade deals open the market; energy and infrastructure partnerships deliver the substance. Our capital markets are unmatched in size, efficiency and depth. Trump's tariff leverage opens doors. Energy exports and U.S. financing flow through them — fueling global infrastructure while anchoring demand for American industry. This energy multiplier also advances a core tenet of Trump's economic agenda: U.S. energy dominance. American liquefied natural gas, coal and refined products are now strategic assets — tools of both commercial strength and geopolitical influence. Trump's approach fuses trade, energy and finance into a cohesive doctrine. It turns deficits into investment. It transforms market access into industrial revival. And it leverages the full might of U.S. capital to strengthen allies abroad and jobs at home. If the goal is to bring back U.S. manufacturing, secure energy markets and make capital markets work for working Americans — this is the model. The chessboard is set. And America, once again, is playing to win. Mitchell A. Silk served as assistant secretary for International Markets at the U.S. Treasury during Trump's first term. He was the senior Treasury official on U.S.-China trade negotiations and helped design America Crece and Asia EDGE. He is the author of ' A Seat at the Table: An Inside Account of Trump's Global Economic Revolution,' to be published in September 2025.
