Glasgow Valuation & Advisory Services opens for business in Dubai
Glasgow Valuation & Advisory Services launches to deliver independent real estate valuation and strategic solutions across Middle East and Africa.
Since its establishment in 2010, Glasgow Research & Consulting has delivered more than 1,500 assignments for over 500 clients, focusing on research-led advisory services to public and private sector stakeholders.
The firm’s new practice Glasgow Valuation & Advisory Services (GVAS) will provide real estate valuation, including plant & machinery valuation services and building consultancy support to financial transactions, investments and financial reporting, serving a broad range of clients including commercial banks, financial institutions, sovereign wealth funds, family offices, developers, investors, government entities, and high-growth enterprises across the region.
Dr. Vishal Pandey, Founder of Glasgow Research & Consulting, said the launch of the new business marks a strategic milestone for the group and comes in response to demand for valuations expertise that combines international best practices with deep regional expertise.
Divyansh Gupta, Partner at the consulting firm, added: “Our philosophy is anchored in independence, technical excellence, and objective analysis – delivering insights that enable confident decisions and sustainable value creation across industries and asset classes.”
The practice is co-led by Vishal and Divyansh, who together have more than three decades of experience. Both hold the MRICS designation and are Members of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.
A market-entry and real estate growth strategist, Vishal has experience across research, automotive, real estate, hospitality, and investment advisory throughout MENA and South Asia. Divyansh meanwhile is a RICS Registered Valuer with cross-industry experience across valuation mandates, investment analysis, acquisitions, and specialized assignments in diverse asset classes.
While the business will serve the broader Gulf region, its primary focus will be Dubai & UAE – the region’s leading capital markets hub. “Dubai’s emergence as a global centre for capital and investment is setting a new benchmark for valuation excellence, creating demand for advisors who combine technical rigour with deep market insight,” noted Vishal.
