Hi, I’m

Dinesh Bhatia

Dubai,UAE
Dinesh Bhatia

Summary

Production Director with over 20 years of industry experience working amongst the top Event and Production Agencies in the Middle East. Core skills lie in breaking down the entire concept, creating line wise budget elements and estimation of costs to then sourcing relevant suppliers (both local or international depending on requirements) and delivering the final project on site. I have in-depth understanding of PROCIM as the industry budgeting standard software and have extensive knowledge in creating Gantt Charts and XL sheets.


I am adept at working with teams during the pitch stage to provide production and budget advice, and ensure that when tasked to deliver the project, I take complete control and work with teams and external suppliers to deliver large scale events, festivals, activations and exhibitions. The final outcome and success for me is measured by a happy client experiencing a seamless event and delivered to the highest standards following all HSE norms.
