Trescon is marking its 10-year milestone, reflecting on a decade of growth that has positioned the company as one of the Middle East and wider MEASA region’s most trusted partners for government-backed business platforms.
Founded in 2016 in Bengaluru by Mohammed Saleem (Founder & Chairman), alongside Mithun Shetty (Vice Chairman) and Swarnavo Roy (Managing Director), Trescon began as a startup with a clear focus on building future-focused leadership platforms. In 2021, the company opened its UAE office, establishing Dubai as its regional headquarters in a strategic move aligned with the emirate’s ambitions to lead globally in finance, artificial intelligence, sustainability and future industries.

Over the past decade, Trescon has evolved into a delivery partner trusted at the highest institutional levels. In addition to its own signature events, the company now manages four core events within Dubai Future Finance Week, organized by DIFC: the Dubai FinTech Summit, Future Sustainability Forum, Future Islamic Finance Forum and Reg3 Forum.
The Dubai FinTech Summit alone has scaled to more than 9,000 participants, positioning Dubai among the world’s premier fintech capitals.
Trescon has also contributed to major government initiatives including the World Police Summit by Dubai Police and the Dubai Future Forum by Dubai Future Foundation. These collaborations have reinforced the company’s standing as a partner capable of delivering platforms aligned with national priorities.
Trescon’s operating model centers on mid-to-large scale leadership platforms, typically convening between 3,000 and 10,000 senior stakeholders. The focus, the company says, is on tangible outcomes rather than exhibition optics.
Over ten years, Trescon has delivered more than 500 events across 10-plus countries, attracting over 250,000 attendees. It has facilitated more than one million curated business connections and engaged over 3,500 investors globally.
Its leadership team — including Madhukar Dudda, Ummer Shameem, Sanjiv Singh, Anil Kumar, Edward Maben, Christine Davidson, Vimal Bhat and Naveen Bharadwaj — oversees more than 250 professionals across international offices.
“Our philosophy has always been simple: if a government entrusts you with a flagship platform, delivery must be flawless. At this level, the organiser’s credibility and the government’s reputation are inseparable,” said Mohammed Saleem, Founder & Chairman.
With Dubai serving as its operational anchor and recent expansion to Riyadh, Trescon is accelerating its footprint across Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Malaysia and emerging African markets including Mauritius. These regions are investing heavily in digital transformation, artificial intelligence, fintech, future skills development and sustainability.

The company is currently developing new large-scale government-aligned platforms focused on artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, STEM and deeptech in major growth markets.
“Grateful to Dubai for providing the proving ground for our government-partnership model. As we enter our second decade, we are scaling that framework across high-growth economies aligned with future technologies, sustainability & capacity building,” said Naveen Bharadwaj, Group CEO.
As Trescon marks 10 years across its global offices, it positions itself not merely as an event organiser, but as an architect of economic platforms that convene regulators, investors, enterprises, startups and innovators under one strategic mandate.
With Dubai as its regional base and MEASA as its expansion corridor, the company enters its second decade focused on deeper institutional partnerships, new market launches and sustained alignment with national transformation agendas.
