The Bureau
To our amazing Bureau Community,
Welcome to all you amazing women! We cannot wait to meet each and every one of you at The Bureau.
We are first and foremost sisters, lovers of lifelong learning, the third (& only female) generation of our family business, and most recently, business partners. Born and raised in the ever-evolving city of Dubai, the city has taught us the importance of embracing change, re-learning, and the power of a diverse community.
Being a professional, career-driven woman is not easy. We are constantly juggling our work commitments with the various responsibilities we have as community leaders, partners, mothers, and of course, to ourselves! We wanted to design beautiful workspaces which inspire us to build and achieve great things, an authentic space where we can wear sweatpants and be unapologetically ourselves while getting sh*t done, and a space to meet like-minded women who are bold, ambitious, and uplifting other women.
The conception of The Bureau brand began at different times for founders Nikita and Rhea Patel. Recently moving back to Dubai from the US, Nikita worked out of a coworking space designed for women in Boston. What originally felt like a new strange city, her workspace helped her find her tribe and most importantly, matched her vibe.
Rhea’s journey with The Bureau began after her move back from London Business School to Dubai. After working across media agencies in Los Angeles and New York City, Rhea drew inspiration from her unique workplaces and strong female leadership. She took a keen interest in the importance of building authentic work culture, beautiful workspaces, and fostering community in the workplace.
Why we started The Bureau:
- Need for more female support & energy in our careers
- Inspiring Workspaces inspire us
- Female Community > Individuality
- To bring back authenticity to our conversations
- Lifelong learning is the most powerful tool
Our workspaces, designed by women for women, cater to all different working styles. Beyond our workspaces, The Bureau represents a female community with a mission of supporting and propelling women in the UAE in their professional and personal lives.
Welcome to The Bureau Family!
Your favorite sisters,
Rhea & Nikita
