June 26, 2025: Having single-handedly established and expanded Gourmestan from Mumbai to the Middle East, Shivani Sharma is all too familiar with the many challenges and the incredible opportunities that the process entails. This is what inspired her to launch QUICKK PRO Services, her new venture that will enable other forward-minded Indian entrepreneurs to trace their footsteps from India to Dubai. QUICKK PRO Services will offer a comprehensive suite of services that addresses every step of the process—from setting up the right bank accounts to obtaining the necessary licenses to even securing their residence visas.
As a single mother, Shivani encountered numerous challenges when setting up her first venture, Gourmestan, which was inspired by her son’s struggles with gluten and her own passion for clean eating. Starting out with a cloud kitchen, her brand rapidly grew into a name synonymous with clean treats and developed a loyal following. Subsequently, Shivani decided to expand to the UAE, where she met Alvita J Dsilva, CEO of PRO Deskk, who shared Shivani’s passion for enabling others like her and had the necessary expertise to bring this vision to life. This sowed the seeds of the new venture, which—as fate would have it—is created by women to empower women. The venture has kicked off with a capital investment of AED 500k.
“Dubai is the city of tomorrow. It is the perfect destination for entrepreneurs who dream big and have the passion to make their dreams come true. I was one such entrepreneur when I first arrived here. And, having figured out the entire process by myself, I want to now extend that support to others who have the fire in their bellies but don’t know where to begin. QUICKK PRO Services will help them with every step of the process. It is a completely streamlined, online process that can be availed by anyone who wants to set up or expand to the Middle East,” said Shivani.
“When Shivani and I discussed this venture, I was moved by her genuine desire to help Indian entrepreneurs, especially women, discover financial freedom in Dubai. Both of us believe firmly in women securing their independence and pursuing their ambitions, which brought us together and inspired Shivani to invest in this project. We hope that our collaboration will further QUICKK PRO Services’ reach and connect us with as many people as possible, and that we can play a small but important part in their success stories,” shared Alvita J Dsilva.
