Success becomes even more meaningful when it follows hardships, and Satish Sanpal’s story is a testament to it. Growing up in the crowded streets of Jabalpur district in Madhya Pradesh, Satish faced numerous challenges from an early age. After leaving school in Class 8, many would have thought his opportunities were limited, but Satish had bigger dreams. Would you believe, at just 15, with only Rs 50,000, Satish embarked on his entrepreneurial journey by opening a small grocery shop. While his venture didn’t succeed immediately, it did set the stage for far greater achievements in future.
Who is this man and which company does he own?
Satish Sanpal’s life changed completely when his fate brought him to Dubai. His company, ANAX Holdings, made an impressive mark in the real-estate and stock-market industries in Dubai. Today, Satish Sanpal stands as a multi-billionaire, heading one of the most successful businesses globally, with a net worth estimated at Rs 8,000 crore. Here’s a look at his inspiring journey:
How did his journey begin?
Satish journey to being an entrepreneur started when he was just 15 years old. After dropping out of high school, Satish utilised Rs 50,000 that his mother had given him, to establish a small grocery store. After a total investment of approximately Rs 80,000, the business had to shut down within two years. But instead of giving up, Satish took valuable lessons of being ambitious, having the courage to work hard, and striving to achieve something greater than himself.
At the age of 20, he made a bold move, using the small savings he had and relocating to Dubai to seek better opportunities and turn his dream into reality. In Dubai, he initially worked as the intermediary between clients and brokers on the stock market. This role gave him an opportunity to learn and analyse the local market. Following this, he began working on other types of businesses as well. Satish founded ANAX Holdings in 2018, which has now grown into a large corporation. His total assets are estimated around Rs 8,000 crore.
Satish owns a residence in the iconic Burj Khalifa and several luxurious bungalows in Dubai Hills, showcasing his journey from humble beginnings to remarkable business success.
What assets does he own?
Earlier in June, Satish made headlines by gifting his one-year-old daughter Isabella, a Rolls-Royce for Father’s Day. Notably, the car was created especially for Isabella in the UK before being shipped to the UAE. On her birthday in February, Satish had showered his love by hosting a lavish party, attended by Bollywood celebrities such as Tamanna Bhatia and Nora Fatehi.
His LinkedIn bio reads as: “Satish Sanpal is the Chairman of ANAX Holding, a diversified $3B holding company comprised of various subsidiaries: ANAX Developments focused on sustainable luxury real estate and property development and ANAX Hospitality which owns premium resorts and restaurants, amongst others.”
“His entrepreneurial journey began at age 15 in his hometown in India where he sought to not only improve his own circumstances but others in need when he started a small business. He then ventured into stock markets, IT, gold trading, and property development in Dubai and around the world.

He and his team leverage deep local market knowledge and strategic timing to give ANAX Holding a competitive edge in securing and developing high-value sustainable properties and one-of-a-kind experiences. More recently, he has begun expanding into the luxury yacht sector,” the bio adds.
