From Jabalpur to Global: The Real Story of Satish Sanpal
Early Life in Jabalpur
Satish was born and brought up in Jabalpur. Life was not easy in his early days, but he always stayed positive. His family taught him to be honest, hardworking, and kind. These values became the base of his future success. Growing up, he saw how people ran small businesses. This helped him learn the basics of how business works.
Even today, Satish says that his hometown taught him many life lessons. He often shares how Jabalpur gave him strength, motivation, and discipline.
Big Achievements Abroad
Satish moved to Dubai and started his business journey there. With time, he became one of the top names in the nightlife and hospitality industry. In 2022, he was honoured with the 'Entrepreneur of the Year – Nightlife' award at the Emirates Business Conclave. This award is given to people who have done something great in business.
The event was held to celebrate 75 years of India's independence and 50 years of the UAE's formation. It was attended by many well-known people from India, UAE, America, Russia, South Africa, and other countries.
He received the award from Ahmed Elmetwally, a respected figure in the UAE. After getting the award, Satish said, 'This award is a big moment for me. It gives me more power to keep working hard and growing my business.'
Building ANAX Holding
Satish Sanpal is the man behind ANAX Holding, a group that includes two major businesses—ANAX Developments and ANAX Hospitality. These companies focus on real estate, nightlife, and hospitality in Dubai. Through these ventures, he has changed how people see business in this sector.
Whether it is building beautiful hotels or creating luxury entertainment spots, Satish's work always stands out. He follows strong plans, keeps quality high, and never settles for less.
Smart Thinking and Business Skills
One of the main reasons for Satish's success is his sharp thinking. He knows how markets change, what customers want, and how to take risks smartly. He is not afraid of change. Instead, he uses it to grow.
He also follows global trends. For example, when the CEPA (Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement) between India and the UAE was announced in 2022, he quickly understood how it could help his business. CEPA made it easier for companies in both countries to work together and save money through tax benefits.
Respected by Business Leaders
At the Emirates Business Conclave, Satish was joined by many famous guests, such as Chandrashekhar Bhatia, Shri Vivek Tankha, and His Excellency Bruce Ellsworth. These guests came to celebrate the rise of Indian entrepreneurs like Satish in the global market.
There was also a speech by Dr. Sahitya Chaturvedi, a Chartered Accountant, who talked about how CEPA is useful for business people in both countries. It was clear that leaders like Satish Sanpal are now playing a big role in connecting India with the world.
Staying Grounded and Humble

Satish supports young entrepreneurs and tries to guide them whenever possible. He says that anyone can succeed if they stay honest, work hard, and never give up on their dreams.
Helping Others Grow
Satish is not just focused on profits. He also believes in giving back to society. Though he doesn't talk much about it, he has quietly supported several causes, especially those that help youth and create job opportunities.
His story is an example that business can be done with heart. He believes that success should help not just one person but many people around.
A Message to the Youth
If there's one thing young people can learn from Satish's journey, it's this—you don't need to be born rich to become successful. What matters more is your attitude, your work ethic, and your will to keep going even when things are tough.
Satish always says: 'Believe in your dreams, no matter how small they seem at first. If you work for them every day, one day they will come true.'
Conclusion: A Journey Worth Sharing
Satish Sanpal's journey from a quiet corner of Jabalpur to the glamorous streets of Dubai shows us the power of vision and hard work. Today, he stands as a global businessman, but his heart still beats for his roots.
He is not just a businessman—he is a role model. Through his success, Satish has shown that dreams have no limits and backgrounds don't decide your future—your choices do.

Indian stock market: Nifty 50 tops 25,000 level. Can it climb further in short term?
Indian stock market: Indian benchmark equity indices - Sensex and Nifty - edged higher after a muted opening on Monday, July 21, buoyed by stronger-than-expected Q1 results from major players like HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, and Reliance Industries, which helped ease worries over global trade. By around 10 am, the BSE Sensex had gained 320 points, or 0.39 per cent, reaching 82,078, while the Nifty 50 advanced 77 points, or 0.29 per cent, to 25,043. On Friday, the Indian stock market wrapped up the week on a negative note, with the Nifty falling below the key 25,000 level. The Sensex declined by 501.51 points to settle at 81,757.73, while the Nifty dropped 143.05 points to close at 24,968.40. Global cues remained uncertain due to rising crude oil prices amid disruptions in Iraq and unclear signals regarding the U.S. Fed's rate stance, fueling inflationary concerns for oil-importing countries like India. According to Mandar Bhojane, Senior Technical & Derivative Analyst - Research at Choice Equity Broking Private Limited, the Nifty has now entered a crucial demand zone between 25,000 and 24,770, which is expected to act as immediate support. ' Any bullish reversal from this zone could lead to a fresh rally towards 26,000 and 26,400 levels in the coming weeks. Despite the price correction, falling volume suggests that the decline lacks aggressive selling pressure, which indicates that overall trend structure remains bullish. However, RSI at 56.53 is trending downward, reflecting short-term weakness and the need for a reversal signal before any fresh long positions are initiated,' Bhojane said. Support Levels: 24900-24800 Resistance Levels: 25200-25500 Bank Nifty turned positive on Monday, July 21, rose less than a per cent or 504.80 points, touching 56,787.80. Last week, the Bank Nifty index closed at 56,283, registering a 0.83% decline from the previous week's close. ' On the weekly timeframe, Bank Nifty is trading above all its key moving averages—including the short-term 20-day, medium-term 50-day, and long-term 200-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMA)—indicating an overall uptrend. However, the sustained selling pressure at higher levels and the inability to hold above the crucial 57,000 mark suggest that the index is entering a consolidation phase. Key downside support is seen in the 56,000–55,500 zone. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 61.16 with a negative crossover, signaling a sideways to mildly bearish bias. This consolidation phase could result in either a time-wise or price-wise correction as the index awaits fresh triggers for its next directional move,' Bhojane added. He further said that the Bank Nifty index is likely to face significant resistance in the 56,500–57,000 range. If the index continues to move higher, ICICI Bank from the private banking sector is expected to support the uptrend. Similarly, in the public sector banking space, SBIN is anticipated to show strength and contribute to any potential upside.

Indian furniture brand WoodenStreet aims to quadruple revenue in 3 years, mulls IPO, CEO says
India's WoodenStreet aims to quadruple its revenue over the next three years by expanding its mattress and modular furniture businesses, and opening dozens of new stores, as it positions itself for a listing, its CEO told Reuters. ADVERTISEMENT India's $34 billion furniture sector has been rapidly growing in recent years, with demand for sofas, recliners, wardrobes and beds climbing, as younger consumers with more disposable incomes splurge online and upgrade more frequently. "The idea is (to touch 10 billion rupees ($115.90 million) in revenue) and profitability in the next three years... and going public," WoodenStreet founder and CEO Lokendra Ranawat said in an interview last week. WoodenStreet reported sales of 2.55 billion rupees and net loss of 109 million rupees in fiscal 2024, marking its first loss in at least half a decade, data from business insights provider Tofler showed. To hit its target, WoodenStreet is aggressively expanding into the mattress category with its new "Penguin Sleep" brand, Ranawat said, tapping into post-pandemic consumer focus on wellness, while also making a strong push in modular furniture. WestBridge Capital-backed WoodenStreet, which late last year raised $43 million from Premgi Invest to boost its workforce and manufacturing, sells furniture, from sofa to decor, online and also runs 104 stores across India. ADVERTISEMENT Ranawat said WoodenStreet plans to triple its store count within 18-24 months, focussing on major cities, while also considering opportunities in smaller ones. WoodenStreet's rival Wakefit filed for an initial public offering last month, while Duroflex, which also owns the "Sleepyhead" mattress brand, said in April it was looking to go public in the next 18 months. ADVERTISEMENT When asked if WoodenStreet would consider a deal akin to Reliance's purchase of its peer Urban Ladder, Ranawat said: "The target is to make it a sustainable and long-term independent brand."
