Motiwala cultivates an untapped digital gold market in Southeast Asia

Published

on

Ever since the outbreak of Covid-19, investors worldwide have turned to transfer part of their assets into gold investment to avoid market uncertainties and take advantage of gold’s reliable store of value. Investors have always cited gold as a safe haven when market uncertainties intensify, and the events in 2020 further confirmed the established correlation between gold and market risk levels.

Since January 2020, the gold price has zipped up 25% by the end of the year, even hitting a record high of over $2,000 per ounce at one point for the first time in history.

Along with the growth of demand for gold-related investments, supply grows too. A Dubai-based precious metal supplier known as Motiwala caught sight of the growth in demand and is determined to make use of this opportunity to become a world leader in the precious metal industry.

How Motiwala accumulated sand grain into mountain

Motiwala Jewellers LLC is a certified precious metal refinery, gold processor, bullion manufacturer, and precious metal supplier based in Dubai. Renowned for its complete and diversified rare metal business network, Motiwala Jewellers is one of the top 5 gold merchants globally and one of the largest refineries in the Middle East region.

But Rome wasn’t built in a day. It takes a lot of passion and hard work to build such a spectacular precious metal empire. Its founder, Iqbal Bhai from Pakistan, founded Motiwala 40 years ago and has been in the gold industry since then. He started as a gold and jewellery wholesaler in his home country and later found success when he filed a patent for the international gold market fair in Dubai after discovering its undeveloped gold market.

Through several decades of development, Motiwala Jewellers established subsidiary companies to further diversify the range of services it provides and as an effort to complete its supply chain. It is now the holding company of Motiwala Gold Trading, Motiwala Gold & Precious Stone Industry, Motiwala Gold & Metal Laboratory, Shaheen Exchange.

Since then, the company’s businesses have expanded to cover gold mining, processing, jewellery design, jewellery retail stores, physical gold trading, gold and metal laboratories, precious stones & diamond retail stores, and currency exchange.

With its refinery and an ISO 17025 certified in-house laboratory, Motiwala can produce gold bullion at the finest quality and allow investors to purchase gold bars ranging from 1 gram to 100 grams in size at a competitive price in its physical stores, thus allowing all investors to start investing in gold regardless of their capital size.

Southeast Asia has a bright future as a digital gold haven

The gold market in Asia, Southeast Asia in particular, are underdeveloped, but experts are confident that Southeast Asia has a bright future as a digital gold haven in the near future as Southeast Asia has one of the fastest rates of digital payment adoption and more than 400 million internet users. The strong tech foundations were laid by the appealing regulatory landscape and strong government support that has escalated the growth of innovation and healthy competition in this region.

In response to the year-long pandemic crisis, part of the gold and jewellery retailers in Asia are moving their retail businesses onto the internet to reach online consumers and combat the highly contagious virus simultaneously. With robust governance and regulations, digital gold has been gaining much traction in the Southeast Asia market.

Tapping into Southeast Asia’s growing digital gold landscape

Envisioned to become the world leader for dealers and traders from across the globe and to achieve sustainable quality growth, Motiwala co-founded Moti Investment Capital (MIC) in 2018 to expand its global presence in the capital trading sector. The establishment of MIC will enable investors to achieve low-risk, sustainable returns using Motiwala’s unique set of the gold supply chain.

As the first step to globalize its operation, Motiwala has tapped into Southeast Asian countries, providing a wide array of services to the new countries, including asset management, physical gold trading and more. With Motiwala’s supply chain and diverse line of services, it will allow investors to purchase physical gold even if the investors are located outside of Dubai.

In 2018, member countries in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) had consumed 309 tonnes of gold, making Southeast Asia the third-largest market for gold in the world. With the combination of rapid digital adoption, the cultural importance of gold in the region, and low expansion costs, it makes Southeast Asia an ideal region as the first step in Motiwala’s globalization.

MOTIWALA announces partnership with BIS

Motiwala has recently announced its partnership with BIS to expand its global presence. BIS Holding is the first of its kind asset management firm to provide unique investment opportunities for investors, allowing clients to have the privilege to participate in the markets like a real corporate level liquidity provider.

“We are excited to partner with BIS,” said Iqbal Bhai, Founder of Motiwala group. “Through this strategic partnership, Motiwala and BIS can form a clear win-win relationship to provide more value to your existing customers. It would also bolster the long-term partnership between Motiwala and BIS as both firms continue to seek opportunities to achieve business expansion.”

Steven Lash San Diego: Patent Holder and Thought Leader Champions Business Model Innovation and Sustainability at Industry Forums

Published

on

San Diego, CA, 14th May 2026, ZEX PR WIRE  Steven Lash San Diego entrepreneur, independent consultant, and patent holder, is continuing to elevate industry conversations on business model innovation, sustainability, and entrepreneurial thinking through ongoing participation in industry forums, advisory engagements, and professional communities including the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM).

Recognized as an accomplished thought leader with three decades of leadership in operations, advising, and restructuring, Steven Lash San Diego has built a reputation for translating entrepreneurial insight into practical strategy. His perspective consistently centers on the idea that forward thinking organizations need more than incremental change. They need scalable operational models, visionary leadership, and a willingness to rethink the underlying business model itself.

That perspective is shaped, in part, by his own work as an innovator and patent holder. Steven Lash holds business method patents that reflect his long standing commitment to innovation and forward thinking problem solving, and his consulting practice draws directly on that hands on experience with building something new from the ground up.

A distinguished graduate of SUNY Binghamton (BS in Business) and the University of San Diego (MBA), Steven Lash brings academic rigor and real world entrepreneurial experience to every advisory engagement. As an independent consultant, he advises founders, boards, and leadership teams on marketing strategy, organizational transformations, restructuring, and the design of scalable operational models built for transformative growth.

At industry events and industry forums, Steven Lash San Diego is increasingly known for connecting two themes that often get discussed separately: innovation and sustainability. He has argued that long term organizational health depends on treating sustainability not as a compliance line item but as a source of business model innovation in its own right.

“Sustainability and innovation are not two different conversations. They are the same conversation,” said Steven Lash. “Organizations that build sustainability into their operating model from the start tend to discover entirely new categories of value. That is where transformative growth actually comes from.”

His ongoing work with innovative entrepreneurs and forward thinking organizations continues to reflect that view, blending entrepreneurial thinking, marketing strategy, and operational discipline into engagements designed to position clients for long term resilience.

Ukrainian Parents in Denmark Receive Guidance at Church of Scientology on Education

Published

on

Community seminar in Copenhagen focused on integration, education and support for displaced families adapting to life in Denmark

Brussels, Belgium, 14th May 2026 — Ukrainian parents living in Denmark gathered in Copenhagen for an educational seminar aimed at helping families better understand the Danish school system, child development approaches and the social integration process facing many displaced families since the outbreak of the war in Ukraine.

The seminar was organized by the Church of Scientology Denmark and held in Copenhagen, bringing together Ukrainian mothers seeking practical guidance on how to support their children’s adaptation to Danish educational culture while maintaining stability within the family environment.

The initiative was reported by MyNewsDesk Denmark, highlighting the growing need for community-based educational support programs for refugee and migrant families across Europe.

The seminar was led by Marianne, an experienced educator and founder of a private kindergarten with nearly 30 years of professional experience. During the session, she explained key aspects of the Danish educational philosophy, including the importance placed on independence, social interaction, play-based learning and close cooperation between schools and parents.

Participants discussed the differences between educational expectations in Denmark and those common in Ukraine. One example that generated considerable discussion involved the Danish emphasis on exploratory outdoor activities for children, even when that means children return home with dirty clothing after a day of learning and play. According to attendees, the example helped illustrate broader cultural differences regarding childhood development and education.

The seminar also addressed practical concerns that many Ukrainian parents experience when interacting with Danish institutions, including communication with teachers, pedagogues, speech specialists and municipal educational services.

Questions surrounding parental authority and cooperation with schools were discussed openly. Organizers explained that the Danish system encourages active parental participation while also providing professional support structures designed to assist children with language acquisition, social integration and academic development.

One participant, identified as Iriny in the report, described the seminar as “interesting and practical,” noting that it provided valuable insight into how Danish educational institutions cooperate with families and support children adapting to a new cultural environment.

The event forms part of a broader pattern of local initiatives organized by Scientology communities across Europe focused on education, social betterment and humanitarian support. Churches, missions and affiliated groups regularly host activities connected to drug prevention, volunteer assistance, literacy, human rights education and community support programs.

These initiatives are inspired by the humanitarian principles and social philosophy developed by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, whose writings on education, communication and social responsibility continue to influence many Scientology-supported social programs worldwide.

Ivan Arjona, representative of the Church of Scientology to the European Union, the OSCE, the Council of Europe and the United Nations, commented on the broader significance of such community initiatives in Europe:

“Successful integration is built through understanding, access to information, mutual respect and the active participation of families within society. Community initiatives that help parents understand educational systems and social structures contribute positively to social cohesion and to the well-being of children adapting to new environments.”

Organizers indicated that additional seminars and educational activities are being considered in the future, including further discussions on cultural adaptation and the integration of children into Danish society.

The Church of Scientology, its churches, missions, groups and members are present across the European continent. Scientology Europe reports a continent-wide presence through more than 140 churches, missions and affiliated groups in at least 27 European nations, alongside thousands of community-based social betterment and reform initiatives focused on education, prevention and neighbourhood-level support, inspired by the work of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard.

Within Europe’s diverse national frameworks for religion, the Church’s recognitions continue to expand, with administrative and judicial authorities in Spain, Portugal, Sweden, the Netherlands, Italy, Germany Slovakia and others, as well as the European Court of Human Rights, having addressed and acknowledged Scientology communities as protected by the national and international provisions of Freedom of Religion or belief.

Paris Human Rights Mobile Exhibit Brings Civic Education to a Busy Public Space

Published

on

On Europe Day, volunteers distributed 1,500 educational items on human rights and their history, drawing steady public attention in the French capital.

Brussels, Belgium, 14th May 2026 — A mobile human rights exhibit held in central Paris on 9 May brought a visible public education initiative to one of the city’s busy pedestrian areas, where residents and visitors were invited to learn more about the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the long history of human rights ideas.

The exhibit, set up in a highly visible tent, drew the attention of passers-by throughout the day. Around 15 volunteers took part in the initiative, distributing approximately 700 flyers inviting people to visit the stand and 800 educational booklets presenting human rights and their historical development in accessible language.

The activity coincided with 9 May, widely marked across the European Union as Europe Day, a date associated with peace, cooperation and the civic values that shaped post-war Europe. In that context, the Paris exhibit placed human rights education at street level, offering short conversations, printed materials and visual displays to people of different ages and backgrounds.

The mobile exhibit presented human rights not as an abstract legal concept, but as a practical subject connected to daily life, dignity and civic responsibility. Visitors were able to view panels, receive booklets and speak with volunteers about the origins and meaning of fundamental rights, including the importance of education in making those rights understood by younger generations.

The initiative forms part of the broader human rights education work supported by members and groups of the Church of Scientology, inspired by the writings of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, who placed strong emphasis on human dignity, moral responsibility and the role of education in improving society. In France and across Europe, Scientology volunteers have taken part in public information activities focused on human rights, drug prevention, literacy, moral values and community support.

The Paris event also reflected the wider civic education approach promoted through Scientology Europe’s EU Values campaign, which presents European values such as human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, rule of law and human rights as principles that require understanding and practical application in daily life. By placing educational materials directly in a public space, the Paris exhibit connected the universal language of human rights with the European civic framework in which those rights are protected and discussed.

“Human rights become meaningful when they are understood by ordinary people, not only by institutions,” said Ivan Arjona, representative of the Church of Scientology to the European Union, the OSCE, the Council of Europe and the United Nations. “An exhibit like this in Paris reflects a very European idea: that dignity, freedom of conscience and responsibility belong in public life. It is also fully aligned with the spirit of Europe’s values, which depend on citizens who know their rights, respect the rights of others and take responsibility for building more inclusive communities.”

The Paris volunteers reported that the tent’s visibility helped bring a constant flow of people past the exhibit. Some stopped briefly to take a flyer, while others entered the tent, asked questions or received booklets. The format allowed the materials to reach both local residents and international visitors passing through the area.

The booklets distributed during the day presented the development of human rights through history, including the modern understanding reflected in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1948. By using simple language and visual presentation, the exhibit aimed to make the subject accessible to people who may not usually engage with formal legal or institutional documents.

For the volunteers, the activity was also a practical expression of civic participation. Human rights education campaigns often depend on direct contact with the public, particularly in urban spaces where people from many cultures, languages and social backgrounds meet. In Paris, a city closely associated with the history of rights, citizenship and public debate, the mobile exhibit provided a setting where those themes could be presented in a direct and approachable way.

The Church of Scientology has long supported educational and social betterment campaigns carried out by its churches, missions and volunteers. These initiatives include human rights awareness, drug prevention, disaster response through Volunteer Ministers, and moral education based on common-sense principles. While each activity is adapted to local circumstances, the common emphasis is on prevention, education and individual responsibility.

The Paris exhibit reflected that approach. Rather than focusing on ceremony or speeches, the event relied on visibility, printed educational materials and one-to-one engagement. The presence of volunteers throughout the day allowed people to receive information at their own pace, ask questions and continue on their way with materials they could read later.

The Church of Scientology, its churches, missions, groups and members are present across the European continent. Scientology Europe reports a continent-wide presence through more than 140 churches, missions and affiliated groups in at least 27 European nations, alongside thousands of community-based social betterment and reform initiatives focused on education, prevention and neighbourhood-level support, inspired by the work of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard.
