Dubai, UAE — Family, friends and members of the community are mourning the loss of Sonal Vara Parmar, whose passing has left those who knew her remembering a beloved and cherished presence.
Sonal was far more than a name in Dubai’s business world. She was the woman behind the Middle East’s entertainment boom — the CEO of IAM Entertainment, the region’s first female-led entertainment company. She played a pivotal role in transforming the region into a global entertainment hub, bringing world-class events, A-list artists, and unforgettable experiences to Dubai and beyond.
Her journey was as inspiring as her work. With a unique heritage and upbringing in Zambia, her path took her from London to New York and finally to Dubai, where she built a legacy that touched the entire entertainment industry. She was known for her work with global superstars including Beyoncé and for her vision, grace, and groundbreaking leadership in an industry she helped shape.
But to those who knew her personally, Sonal was beloved for more than her achievements. She was warm, brilliant, kind, and a cherished presence in the Dubai community. She uplifted other women, inspired young entrepreneurs, and was admired for her strength, elegance, and heart.
At this time, an official cause of death for Sonal Vara Parmar has not been publicly released by her family. As loved ones navigate this private and painful time, they have asked that the focus remain on honoring her life, her remarkable legacy, and the love she gave to so many.
News of her reported passing has prompted an outpouring of grief across Dubai, the UAE, and the global entertainment industry. Tributes have poured in from colleagues, friends, artists, and members of the community who remember Sonal as a trailblazer, a visionary, and a beautiful soul.
Her loss is felt not only in boardrooms and concert venues but in the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing her. She was a woman who turned dreams into reality and made Dubai shine brighter.
Funeral arrangements and memorial service information for Sonal Vara Parmar will be announced by her family at a later date. The family has asked for privacy, prayers, and continued support as they prepare to honor her life.
Our most heartfelt and deepest condolences go out to the family, friends, colleagues at IAM Entertainment, and all who knew and loved Sonal Vara Parmar.
Rest peacefully, Sonal. The woman behind Dubai’s entertainment boom, forever remembered, forever loved, and forever missed.
