Building from Oman to regional markets, creating skilled jobs, and investing in local capabilities across maritime, fisheries, automotive, and aviation
Founded in Oman — Growing from Oman
Sindbad Group was founded in Oman and grows from Oman. Our long-term plans are naturally aligned with the country's economic direction under Oman Vision 2040, particularly its focus on a productive, diversified economy led by the private sector and open to international cooperation.
We translate these national priorities into practical commitments: building businesses from Oman to regional markets, creating skilled jobs for Omanis, and investing in local capabilities across maritime, fisheries, automotive fleets and aviation.
Our Perspective on In-Country Value
In-Country Value (ICV) in Oman is generally defined as the share of spending retained in the country that supports business development, builds human capabilities and increases productivity in the national economy.
For Sindbad, ICV is a strategic way of operating and creating long-term value.
