The man, identified as Gavrav, recorded the clip while sitting inside his car. In the video, he can be heard saying, “An 8 crore car here, another 8 crore car in front, a 4 crore car right next to it, and another one beside it worth around 2 to 2.5 crore. There’s one more parked there, easily worth 3 to 4 crore. And I am talking about the value in Indian rupees.”

He added that he was standing at just one red light and could see cars worth more than 30 crore to 35 crore around him. “Even behind me, there are a couple of cars worth 4 to 5 crore each, because they are all BMWs and Mercedes. This is Dubai, bro,” he said.

‘How will you not grow here?’

In the video, Gavrav said that Dubai offers a kind of exposure that can push people to think bigger. He said, “So tell me, how will you not grow here? They say you become the average of the five people you surround yourself with. This is the kind of environment you get in Dubai.”

He also spoke about how seeing wealth around him had normalised bigger financial goals. Recalling a recent visit to a property office, he said, “At the same table where I was sitting, a man was signing papers for a villa worth 10 million dirhams, which is around 25 to 26 crore. And it felt so normal.”

The text overlaid on the clip read, “It’s only possible in Dubai.”
