Expo 2020 has been a popular buzzword for a while now. How big is it? Is it really a bigger event than the Oscars when it came to the business world? What is the Expo all about and how is it conducted?

Mr. Khosla further shared what the expected footfall is for an event of this stature, what expectations people have from this Expo, and what opportunities it would open to the people of the UAE. “There will be many iconic structures coming up for the Expo, including the Expo site itself that would have iconic buildings like the Sustainability Centre, The UAE Pavilion inspired by the Falcon, and many more,” he shared.
When asked about his advice to students about their first job, he said, “Once you get in, you need to connect and be fully committed to it.”
