mid-day speaks to Satish Sanpal:
What made you to decide upon UAE and particularly Dubai for your ventures?
Being widely travelled and lived around the world, it is now an universal fact that there’s no place as comfortable and safe for entrepreneurs such as the UAE. As the eponymous capital of one of the UAE’s 7 emirates, Dubai is known for its riches, its glitzy and innovative development and architecture, and its shopping scenes and in particular, is a haven for its diversity, incredible transportation options, and well-developed infrastructure. This place doesn’t have any political interference or any skirmishes within different communities as compared to major well-known cities. There must be people of over 100 countries , and running a business is convenient and safe with equal opportunities for all,” he said, adding that the stringent rules and regulations further add to its attractiveness.
Like you mentioned, there is all round scope across sectors. Then what prompted you to initiate your corporate journey with a night club - VII Dubai?
We had planned our strategy simultaneously with this club and also are into construction. But things speeded up with VII Dubai and owning a club is something that I’ve always wanted, and I wanted to create a space that would give visitors different options to unwind. Dubai is such a diverse city that attracts tourists from all over the world, often looking forward to partying. As much as this area is all about business, and after a day’s work it’s always time to play.
It was one of the goals on my list that I wanted to achieve. I believe in law of attraction. If you really want something, set your goals and go for it.
What is it that sets VII Dubai quite apart from other clubs?
VII Dubai is divided into three parts – a terrace, lounge and club. Each section boasts of a different ambience, giving guests a one-stop destination for a memorable evening. We also have an exclusive VIP area that requires reservations. Each day it attracts a different audience – with R&B/Hip Hop tunes on Mondays, House and Techno on Wednesdays, Afrobeats on Thursdays, and Indian hits on Fridays.
It is the best in terms of quality, variety, the performers at our club and we have always brought in the best DJs to take over the stage. The presentation of food and beverages is impeccable. All this contribute to VII Dubai’s premium club status. I have been lucky to have a brilliant team onboard who understand each other and work together towards success.
Could you share some more secrets that have led it to such high popularity?
The club has had a full renovation with state-of-the-art matrix lighting. Most of them would satisfy themselves staying afloat amid intense competition of nightspots in the vicinity, while my motto is to be two steps ahead and that is the key to keeping VII Dubai high on the list of sought-after destinations is to stay motivated by challenges and constantly innovate, inspire and exceed expectations. The 27,000 sq ft premium club also undergoes regular renovations, further supported by its permit to operate 24 hours a day.
What are your future plans?
And now with VII Dubai’s stupendous success, our team does not rest on their laurels and continuously strives to promote the joint with exciting features. We also have plans to open another club in prime locations in the UK and USA. My club is setting high standards in Dubai. It’s down to my passion to be the best and having a great team around me to put my plans into action.
Do we expect such innovativeness in your construction projects of Sanpal Developments?
Surely. Rather than spelling out intricacies in both of our construction projects, its better that the buildings are completed and it would be nice to have by clients realize the uniqueness in our design, layout and we will be redesigning the definition of luxury living.
I want my clients to experience the landmark lifestyle of grandeur in the highly coveted location that will be an inspiration in luxury living, with apartments that are crafted with utmost precision using the rarest of rare materials with an immaculate design sense and a plethora of hi-end amenities. Very soon it will be a benchmark coveted for luxury living.
