Desi Bling, the Indian version of Dubai Bling, has arrived on Netflix, and at its centre is billionaire couple Satish Sanpal and Tabinda Sanpal. Satish proudly reveals that he arrived in Dubai with just one million dirham before finding massive success in the gold business.

Satish and Tabinda's ultra-luxurious lifestyle is on display through Desi Bling, including their 40kg gold collection, gold cutlery, and a customised pink Rolls-Royce for their daughter Isabella.

The couple's personal equation makes viewers uncomfortable, with moments of patriarchal mindsets and deeply unsettling behaviour. Satish invites his friends onto his party yacht, where they party and dance with female performers.

Satish Sanpal is the chairman of ANAX Holding, a conglomerate valued at nearly $3 billion. He quit school in the eighth grade to start a grocery shop business, which eventually failed. He then moved into stock market trading before relocating to Dubai and entering the gold business, where he found massive success.
