Welcome to BILD!
British Asians Living in Dubai
Hello, I’m Truna, the Founder of BILD. What started as a simple idea bringing people together so no one ever feels alone in a new city has grown into a warm, close knit community that feels like family. BILD is now a space where anyone who connects with our British Indian spirit can feel at home, whether you have lived in Dubai for years or have just arrived.
BILD is all about belonging. We laugh together, support each other, celebrate our cultures, and create moments that feel special. From lively socials and family friendly activities to meaningful conversations and unforgettable events, there is always something that brings us closer.
More than anything, BILD is built with heart. It is a community where kindness leads, friendships grow naturally, and everyone is genuinely welcomed.
I am so glad you are here.
Welcome to BILD, your people, your place, your Dubai family.
Truna,
Founder of BILD
Connecting British Indians in Dubai.
BILD (British Indians Living in Dubai UAE) is a not-for-profit community created exclusively for individuals of British Indian heritage — or those married to someone who is—living in the UAE. We welcome those of Indian origin who were born or raised in the UK and identify with both British and Indian culture.
​
BILD connects members through cultural celebrations such as Diwali, social meet-ups, family-friendly activities, and opportunities to support and grow British Indian businesses, professionals, and entrepreneurs in the UAE. While we embrace all faiths, BILD remains centred on the unique experiences of British Indians living abroad.
Our Mission
We recognise the richness of the broader South Asian community and appreciate the many other groups in the UAE that reflect different backgrounds. BILD provides a secure space for the British Indian voice and experience to thrive, and we encourage members to invite friends, enhancing the value and shared experiences within our community.
Our Vision
To ensure smooth integration, all members are asked to introduce themselves to the group. Anonymous joiners who do not provide their identity will be removed.
​
As a not-for-profit, all funds raised go towards organising activities, covering licensing and operating expenses, and creating more opportunities for our members to connect. Running BILD is a serious commitment that requires considerable time, energy, and financial contributions from the team. We rely on the support of members to sustain and grow the community. By attending events, spreading the word, and getting involved, you help build a space that benefits everyone.
Together, we can build a thriving community.
