IThe man behind the work
Dhawal Laheri.
An independent mind.
More than two decades of building businesses.
An ambition that has never belonged to one industry.
An introduction can become a network. A match can bring a community together. An idea on a page can become a business.
Dhawal has spent more than twenty years working with possibilities like these. His interests have taken him across technology, sport and digital finance. The businesses are different. The instinct is familiar: look beyond what is in front of you, and consider what it could become.
He is drawn to the point where an idea begins to acquire a life of its own. The first product. The right partner. The moment a conversation turns into a decision. His work is as much about bringing those elements together as it is about the idea itself.
Based in Dubai, with an outlook that crosses borders, he continues to build around a belief that has shaped the portfolio: a worthwhile ambition deserves people prepared to see it through.
IIHorizon Studio
First, imagine it.
Then, give it form.
A world on a screen begins with someone willing to build every detail.
A character needs a story. A game needs a reason to return. A digital experience needs to feel considered from the first interaction. Horizon Studio brings the creative and technical disciplines behind that work together in one Dubai-based development and publishing company.
Its interests extend beyond the screen. A game world can become a collectible. A character can take physical form. An idea can find another life in an immersive environment. Each asks different things of the people making it.
Dhawal’s role is to connect that creative ambition with the decisions that make a venture possible: product direction, visual identity, commercial purpose and the right partnerships. The work begins in imagination, but it has to earn its place in the world.
IIITap Tap Go
A small gesture.
An open door.
Every relationship starts somewhere.
You meet someone. You share a few words. What happens afterwards is where the possibility lies.
Tap Tap Go begins with that very human moment. A gold-finished card opens the fuller picture of a person: their work, their projects and the ways to stay connected. Their story can evolve while the card stays the same.
Dhawal sees a wider opportunity around that first exchange. Profiles, team tools, events, commerce and financial access form the direction of the Success Network. The object is small enough to carry in a pocket. The ambition reaches much further.
It is a revealing example of the way he approaches a business. Start with a familiar experience. Notice what is missing. Build around the relationship that experience makes possible.
IVWorld 11 (W11)
The match ends.
The connection stays.
Ask a fan about their team, and a conversation rarely stays small.
There is the selection they would have made. The player coming into form. The game they still remember years later. Sport gives people a shared language, often long before they know anything else about one another.
World 11 brings that energy into a venture built around cricket, football, fantasy play and fan communities. Choosing a team gives the next performance a personal stake: you have made your judgment, and now the match puts it to the test.
For Dhawal, the opportunity reaches beyond a single fixture. He is shaping the direction, brand and commercial relationships around an experience that gives supporters more reasons to participate, return and stay connected.
A shared passion.
A world of belonging.
VNexora
A life across borders.
Money that follows.
An ambition shaped by the way people already live.
The opportunity may be overseas. The payment should still make sense.
A client pays from another country. A supplier invoices in another currency. A business grows beyond the place where it began. Each is an ordinary part of working internationally, yet each can interrupt the flow of the day.
Nexora is being developed around the whole journey: receiving money, holding it, understanding a conversion, then sending or spending it. Personal and business experiences have their own needs. A founder paying a team needs a different view from someone managing their everyday money.
Dhawal’s ambition is to make those experiences feel connected. The programme is in development, with capabilities planned in phases and through licensed providers. The guiding question is practical: what does someone need to understand before taking their next step?
VIThe company you keep
Great possibilities.
The right people.
An idea travels further when people decide it is worth their time.
Founders bring urgency. Specialists bring judgment earned through practice. Partners bring capabilities a business cannot build alone. The strongest relationships grow around a shared direction and a clear contribution.
Dhawal is drawn to people with something of their own to offer. A considered point of view. A skill that matters. The resolve to stay involved when the work becomes demanding.
The portfolio will continue to evolve. New opportunities will arrive from unexpected places. The invitation remains personal: if you see something worth building, and have something extraordinary to bring to it, there may be a conversation to have.
