For someone who grew up in India, the Taj has long been a creator of memories, shaping our aspirations for timeless luxury. Becoming a part of that legacy today feels incredible to me and my partner, Ankur Aggarwal. This collaboration is a deeply meaningful partnership built on shared values and a commitment to excellence. For IHCL, a brand synonymous with luxury and legacy, to choose Al Marjan Island for their inaugural Ras Al Khaimah branded residences is a testament to the trust and synergy we’ve cultivated.”
