ANAX Capital Makes Ambitious UAE Debut Under Tabinda Sanpal’s Vision for Transparent, Inclusive Trading
With a Dhs30 million capital base and a mission to democratize finance, ANAX Capital launches in the UAE to offer transparent, tech-driven trading backed by visionary leadership and global ambitions.
Backed by a Dhs30m capital base and a Category 1 SCA license, the firm launches with cutting-edge tech, global ambitions, and a mission to redefine client-first financial services in the region.
In a dazzling launch event at Dubai’s opulent Palazzo Versace, ANAX Capital officially marked its entry into the UAE’s dynamic financial sector. The event on Friday, May 23, was as much a celebration as it was a statement of intent—highlighting the firm’s operational readiness and future-forward vision under the leadership of founder and director Tabinda Sanpal.
With performances from international stars like Tiger Shroff, Myriam Fares, Nora Fatehi, and Sonu Nigam, the evening dazzled in glamour. But behind the spectacle stood a serious financial milestone: the launch of a Category 1 Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA)-licensed trading firm, designed to empower both retail and institutional investors with transparent, technology-driven tools.
“The launch represents months of hard work and belief in an idea that’s now come to life,” said Sanpal. “We’re entering the market with a strong foundation, backed by solid capital and a clear commitment to service.”
Sanpal, whose 15+ years of experience spans London’s FCA-regulated ecosystem and Dubai’s DIFC, envisioned ANAX Capital as a platform rooted in simplicity, trust, and accessibility. With a capital base of Dhs30 million and a licence (No. 20200000258), the firm promises clients seamless, secure access to global markets.
A Platform Built for Performance and Trust
Headquartered in Aspin Tower on Sheikh Zayed Road, ANAX Capital offers trading across forex, CFDs, spot commodities, international equities, futures, and options. Retail clients can access the intuitive MetaTrader platform, while institutional and professional clients are supported through the high-performance CQG system—designed for advanced and algorithmic strategies.
Mitul Kapadia, COO of ANAX Capital, emphasized the company’s holistic approach:
“We provide a one-stop solution with deep liquidity, competitive spreads, and professional tools, including FIX APIs for algo trading.”
Technology lies at the core of ANAX’s operations. Integrated AI systems—including chatbots and OpenAI-powered agents—enhance client onboarding and support, while global KYC processes are streamlined through smart automation.
Client-Centric at Its Core
The ANAX philosophy is simple yet powerful: empower the trader.
“Whether someone is an experienced trader or just starting out, we want them to feel supported and secure throughout their journey,” said Sanpal.
That ethos extends beyond just technology or product offerings. Strategic partnerships—such as with regulatory consultant Dexterity Management DMCC—have been integral to ensuring operational efficiency and compliance during the firm’s licensing phase.
The firm also benefits from the guidance of Satish Sanpal, chairman of ANAX Holding, and a central figure in the development of ANAX Capital.
“He’s been my unwavering support system,” Tabinda said, acknowledging her husband’s role in bringing the vision to life.
Dual Business Model and Community Engagement
With a hybrid model, ANAX Capital caters to both individual clients and institutional partners. Its hardware-as-a-service and cloud-based solutions offer tailored support for infrastructure deployment and high-frequency trading needs.
Kapadia noted that scalability and compliance are baked into their business logic:
“We’ve worked hard to ensure that our clients—whether trading manually or programmatically—are equipped with professional tools that grow with them.”
But ANAX Capital’s mission goes beyond trading platforms and data feeds. The company is keen on building a financial community, engaging with traders, partners, and regulators alike.
“To the wider community, ANAX Capital is committed to raising the bar in financial services—this is just the beginning,” Sanpal affirmed.
Global Vision, UAE Roots
Though proudly UAE-based, ANAX Capital’s outlook is global. Its compliance infrastructure, platform scalability, and deep market access are geared toward onboarding international clients while ensuring full regulatory alignment across jurisdictions.
“It had to be inclusive,” said Sanpal. “With the right tools and support, anyone with a vision and drive should feel like they have a place in the financial markets.”
The firm’s early growth will be fuelled by its Dhs30 million capital base—earmarked for liquidity provisioning and international expansion—as well as strategic partnerships in financial services and technology.
Looking Ahead
As ANAX Capital begins operations, its leadership remains focused on building a client-first, future-ready institution. The firm’s early success owes much to a team of seasoned professionals, drawn from global markets and regulatory backgrounds.
“To our team, I am grateful for your dedication. And to everyone who believed in this vision, thank you. The journey ahead is bright,” Sanpal concluded.
With bold ambitions, cutting-edge technology, and an unwavering focus on transparency, ANAX Capital is not just launching a trading platform—it’s redefining the standard for what financial services in the UAE can be.
