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.”

Coffee Journal Launches South African Coffee Map for Roasters and Cafes
Coffee Journal, an independent South African specialty coffee publication founded in 2026, has launched its new Coffee Map,
Randvaal Meyerton, Gauteng, South Africa, 28th Aug 2026 — Coffee Journal, an independent South African specialty coffee publication founded in 2026, has launched its new Coffee Map, a digital resource designed to help readers discover specialty coffee roasters and cafes across South Africa. The map expands the publication’s mission of documenting the country’s coffee scene by giving coffee drinkers, home brewers and travelers a more practical way to explore businesses by location and category.
According to Coffee Journal, the platform was created to provide a more centralized starting point for people looking to find noteworthy coffee destinations beyond major urban centers. The specialty coffee map already features roasters and cafes from multiple regions, including Sasolburg, Bloemfontein, the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands, Gqeberha, George, Dullstroom, Howick, Jeffreys Bay and Hoedspruit. By organizing listings in one place, the tool is intended to make South Africa’s specialty coffee landscape more visible and easier to navigate.
Coffee Journal describes itself as an independent publication that reviews roasters, tests water, publishes brew guides and maintains a transparency-based trust-score system without roaster funding or brand partnerships. That editorial positioning gives the new coffee discovery platform added relevance for readers seeking information from a publication that emphasizes independence rather than paid placement.
“The goal of Coffee Journal has been to build a central home for South Africa’s specialty coffee scene,” said Bibi Burness, founder of Coffee Journal. “The Coffee Map is a practical extension of that work because it helps readers move from reading about coffee culture to actually discovering the cafes and roasters shaping it.”
The map launch comes at a time when specialty coffee communities increasingly rely on digital discovery tools to find local roasters, destination cafes and regional coffee experiences. For South African consumers, that need is especially relevant because standout coffee businesses are often spread across provinces and smaller towns rather than concentrated in a single market. Coffee Journal’s South African coffee guide positions the map as part of a broader effort to make the country’s coffee ecosystem more accessible to both enthusiasts and newcomers.
In its current form, the Coffee Map presents a mix of roasters and cafes in a directory-style format, with individual listing pages available for selected businesses. The tool highlights the diversity of South Africa’s coffee scene, from established roasteries to destination cafes in smaller towns and tourism corridors. That geographic spread may help readers identify new coffee stops for travel, weekend trips and regional exploration, while also increasing visibility for independent operators outside the largest metros.
The launch also supports Coffee Journal’s broader editorial strategy. In addition to the map, the publication offers brew guides and coffee-focused articles intended to help readers learn more about making and understanding coffee. The addition of a map creates a stronger link between education and discovery by giving readers a way to connect written content with real-world coffee experiences.
As an independent platform founded in 2026, Coffee Journal has framed its brand around curiosity, transparency and learning. The publication’s “coffee amateur” perspective, as described on its website, is aimed at documenting the South African specialty coffee scene in an accessible way rather than speaking from a purely industry-insider position. That tone may help the new map appeal to a broad audience that includes casual coffee drinkers, home espresso users and more experienced specialty coffee followers.
Coffee Journal said the Coffee Map is intended to keep evolving as the publication continues documenting the South African coffee landscape. Readers interested in exploring featured cafes and roasters can visit the Coffee Journal website or browse the Coffee Map directly.
