Meet Satish Sanpal, the strategic mind behind ANAX Holding

As highlighted by Arabian Business, Satish Sanpal leads ANAX Holding with a sharp strategic mindset, focusing on innovation, sustainable growth, and creating long-term value across diverse business sectors.

Satish Sanpal, founder of ANAX Holding, charts a bold course across luxury real estate, global markets and philanthropy, with ambitions to rank ANAX Holding among the top holding companies in the region.

Satish Sanpal stands as one of the UAE’s most compelling entrepreneurial success stories – an Indian expatriate who transformed ambition into enterprise, and vision into global scale.

As Founder and Chairman of ANAX Holding, Sanpal leads a diversified group spanning real estate, hospitality and strategic investments, with ANAX Developments at the forefront of its growth trajectory.

Luxury real estate has become a defining pillar of ANAX’s portfolio. ANAX Developments recently unveiled ELLE Residences, a branded luxury residential project in Dubai that exemplifies the company’s commitment to design-led, lifestyle-driven living.

The launch signals ANAX’s intent to redefine contemporary urban experiences while responding to the evolving aspirations of global investors and residents.

Another landmark project by ANAX Developments launched earlier was V-Suites, an exclusive executive residence in the heart of Business Bay. Designed for professionals, entrepreneurs and high-net-worth individuals, V-Suites offers both a lifestyle upgrade and a business-friendly living environment.

Further projects are in the pipeline, reinforcing the group’s long-term confidence in Dubai’s real estate market and its role as a global hub.
