An Indian Expat Is Behind So Many Of Dubai’s World Records
It’s no secret that Dubai loves world records and if you search through them on the Guinness World Records website chances are that you’ll come across the name of Ramkumar Sarangapani again and again. He’s behind so many of Dubai’s unique records and some of these are actually pretty cool. No one in the UAE has more records than him, so we just had to tell his story.
The Indian expat has been living in Dubai for about 20 years now.
Ramkumar Sarangapani, a Dubai resident, entered the Guinness Book of World Records for the 19th time by making an 8.2 square metre giant pop-up greeting card. He now holds the most number of records by a person in the UAE & India. Heartiest congratulations!#WorldRecord #Indian pic.twitter.com/muUog5kVkd

From owning the smallest pack of playing cards to the largest license plate; the Dubai resident has got quite the records to boast of.

Did we mention that he owns the largest business card in the world too?
It would seem there’s pretty much a record for everything. The world record for the largest business card goes to Ramkumar Sarangapani, with the card measuring 6 m²! Now that’s definitely going to leave an impression. pic.twitter.com/yXAafnPsqm
