Motiwala cultivates an untapped digital gold market in Southeast Asia
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.”

William Castro’s Korean War memoir, From Paradise to Hell, recounts the experiences of young Hawaiian soldiers who left island life for the front lines in Korea, preserving a personal history of friendship, courage, sacrifice and survival.
United States, 9th Sep 2026 – At eighteen years old, William Castro left the Big Island of Hawaii with a group of young men who had grown up surrounded by the ocean, family, and the traditions of island life. Within months, they would find themselves fighting on the frozen mountains of Korea.
That journey is at the heart of Castro’s new memoir, From Paradise to Hell: Tales of a Group of Boys Who Became Men and One A Giant Under Fire, a firsthand account of friendship, military service, sacrifice, and survival during the Korean War.
When the Korean War erupted in 1950, the conflict quickly became personal for communities across Hawaii as casualties from Hawaii’s own military units began returning home. Castro and other young men from across the islands made the decision to enlist and serve. Most were teenagers, and some had barely begun adulthood.
Among them was Leroy Kauhini, a seventeen-year-old from Oahu whose story becomes one of the book’s most powerful threads. Too young to sign his own enlistment papers, Leroy needed his mother’s permission before joining the group.
Together, the young recruits traveled from Hawaii to Japan and eventually into South Korea, where the war they had heard about in newspapers and on the radio became a terrifying reality. Castro recalls arriving in a country devastated by conflict and encountering civilians fleeing the fighting before being sent toward the front.
The young soldiers were eventually assigned to the 15th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Infantry Division, and introduced to the harsh realities of frontline combat.
Among the most dramatic episodes in the memoir is the battle for Hill 717, where Castro witnesses Leroy Kauhini advancing through intense enemy fire. The battle becomes a defining moment – not only in the war, but in Castro’s understanding of the courage and character of the young men beside him.
Yet From Paradise to Hell is more than a chronicle of battles.
Castro brings readers inside the lives of the men behind the uniforms – their jokes, fears, friendships, memories of Hawaii, and the bond that developed between soldiers who had entered the Army as boys. Humor becomes a means of surviving the unimaginable, while memories of home provide an emotional counterpoint to the violence surrounding them.
The book ultimately asks readers to look beyond military statistics and historical timelines and remember the young people who lived through them.
“This is the story of the boys who went to war,” Castro writes – not simply as soldiers, but as sons, cousins, friends, and brothers whose lives were permanently changed by their service.
The memoir is dedicated to the young men who volunteered and traveled with Castro to South Korea on January 1, 1951, as well as to the men and boys from Hawaii who answered the call to duty and made the ultimate sacrifice.
With From Paradise to Hell, Castro preserves a personal chapter of Korean War history and gives readers an opportunity to experience the conflict through the eyes of the young Hawaiian soldiers who lived it.
