Our Story
Our Founder, Mr. Mario Mascarenhas, discovered his passion for music at just 14. After moving to Dubai in 1992, he became the heartbeat of the city’s music scene—first with the award-winning R&B All Stars, winners of the Battle of the Bands in 1994, and later as the founder of Symphony, a band that graced countless prestigious stages and captured hearts with every performance. His creative journey earned him accolades across the globe.
But Mario’s passion didn’t stop at music. In 1993, he ventured into logistics, and by 1996, he fused his artistic soul with entrepreneurial grit to create Powerhouse—a boutique entertainment company built on authenticity, artistry, and family values.
What began as an entertainment dream has grown into one of Dubai’s most trusted names in event management and production. Today, Powerhouse is a full-service production house delivering immersive event experiences—from bespoke joinery décor to captivating themes—crafted with care, precision, and heart.
At its core, Powerhouse is a family. And like family, we treat every client with warmth, honesty, and unwavering commitment. For over 30 years, we’ve earned the trust of those we serve—not just by meeting expectations, but by exceeding them every time.
As Mario says:
“Business is not about money; it’s about promising and over-delivering.”
That’s the Powerhouse way.

As we are progressing across the CIO Summit series stops one after the other, leveraging the exclusive IDC Video created for CIO Summit Series 2019, I am pleased to let you know that it is being received very well both internally and externally by our audience. The entire look and feel of watching the video on the BIG screen with the AV effects at the Dubai stop looked extravagant. Thank you so much for making this happen! It has been wonderful to work with you all as a team and we look forward to collaborating with yourselves on newer projects in the near future!
