A Story Born From Leadership, Vision, and Unshakable Drive
Some people build careers. Others build legacies.
Shaikha Albadi belongs to the rare category of women who transform their passions into living, breathing experiences that touch people’s lives.
An Emirati woman with a global mindset, Shaikha often says she “makes memories for a living”—a simple promise that has become the foundation of her life’s work. Her journey began long before her entrepreneurial success, rooted in a passion for leadership that shaped her identity from a young age.
A Worldview Shaped by Global Exposure
Studying and working abroad opened doors that broadened both her professional ambition and her personal vision.
From Disney to Universal to Merlin Entertainment, Shaikha worked alongside some of the biggest names in experiential entertainment, absorbing world-class standards of creativity, management, and storytelling.
These experiences didn’t just inspire her—they unlocked a deeper calling.
She discovered her love for creating moments, memories, and emotional connections through sensory experiences.
A Leap of Faith That Sparked a Fragrance Empire
With three degrees, multiple awards, and six years of intense productivity work behind her, Shaikha was ready to build something of her own. What started as a small passion project from her home soon grew into one of the UAE’s rising homegrown brands—Sogat Colaba LLC.
In less than a year, the brand transformed from a passion to a phenomenon.
Today, Sogat Colaba is known across the UAE for its distinct perfumery, all-over body sprays, and deeply rooted oud blends that reflect Shaikha’s heritage and artistic identity. She is not just the founder—she is the creative force, the “nose,” and the soul of the company.
Her fragrances aren’t merely scents.
They are stories bottled into experiences.
They are memories—crafted by a woman who understands the emotion behind every note.
The Rise of a Social-First Entrepreneur
Shaikha’s philosophy is simple yet powerful:
“Create an opportunity and seize it.”
This belief guided her from the beginning.
Her social media presence, built with authenticity and intention, became the door she created for herself—and ultimately walked through—into the world of entrepreneurship and brand influence.
Today, thousands follow her journey not just for her brand, but for her mindset, her work ethic, and her ability to blend creativity with leadership.
A Modern Emirati Woman Leading With Purpose
Shaikha Albadi represents the future of the UAE—driven, creative, global, rooted in tradition yet forward-thinking. Her story is a testament to what can happen when ambition meets courage and a vision evolves into impact.
From global entertainment giants to founding a fragrance house embraced by an entire country, her journey is just beginning—and she is determined to become one of the leading entrepreneurial voices in the region.
