In July this year, Satish Sanpal, the founder of ANAX Developments and Indian billionaire living in Dubai’s Burj Khalifa, caused a stir on social media after he gifted his one-year-old daughter a custom pink Rolls-Royce. Sanpal, married to British-Pakistani woman Tabinda Sanpal, recently opened up about two crucial ingredients of success that fuelled his rise.
In an interview with Curly Tales’ Kamya Jani, Sanpal opened up about his early struggles and how he left Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, with just Rs 80,000 to start his business venture in Dubai at 15. However, initially, he was cheated by many. “My mom gave me Rs 80,000. I used to trust people and give them credit, and they wouldn’t return that money. I have been cheated a lot,” he said.
Highlighting the two important traits for the recipe of success, Sanpal emphasised that hard work is important than luck; however, luck is equally intrinsic. “If luck is on your side and if you’re working hard, so even luck will ask you to work harder and then it will eventually come to you,” he said. “Stay positive, think positive about everything. When a person faces disrespect, it actually pushes them forward a lot.”
He also revealed that he was once disrespected during his growing-up days, which pushed him to work hard. “There are many things in life that hurt you deep down inside. So that’s why it feels like you want to make money, you have got to do this or that.”

Sanpal now lives in Dubai’s tallest building, Burj Khalifa, and owns five custom-made Rolls-Royce. The billionaire, along with his wife and daughter, is set to move to Dubai Hills. Sharing about the house which is under construction, Tabinda Sanpal said, “The house has over 60 doors, and is built across 50,000 square ft.”
Founded in 2018, ANAX Holding is a Dubai-based DMCC investment company with a footprint across real estate and hospitality.
