Aspire, the latest entrepreneurial monthly in town, is a part of The Purple Stroke—a media production house founded in November 2016, which provides unmatched brand solutions to global companies, both in Dubai and around the world.
Aspire was launched in September of the momentous year of 2020. Its first issue published in October 2020, garnered tremendous responses across industries and company honchos.
Available both in print, as flip-format, and as web-articles on www.aspiremagz.com, Aspire aims at capturing the pulse of the multisector economy of the Middle East’s premier entrepôt, without missing out on the nuances of what makes the city such a vibrant and an undeniable melting pot of different trades, cultures and people.
So expect to find in the magazine a happy melange of stories on the latest trends across various industries, profile interviews that showcase inspirational journeys of not only companies but also the ones who make it so, pro views that add value to every individual desirous of scaling up, the flourish of cultural inquisitiveness through travel and food trails, events and happenings around the city and lots and lots more.
Here’s wishing you lots of happy reading!
