Saad Anwar, a 26-year-old Indian entrepreneur, secured his Premium Residency in Saudi Arabia in 2024, opening doors to significant opportunities for expatriates.
This residency allows individuals like Saad to work, own businesses, and invest in property without needing a local sponsor.
Saad’s journey is marked by resilience and ambition. Born in Lucknow, he moved to Jeddah with his family in 2003, quickly adapting to his new surroundings.
After completing his education, he began his career at 18, advancing through various roles until he launched his entrepreneurial journey in 2017.
By 2022, he fully acquired Senyar Arabian Trading, a contracting and manpower support company, and now serves as its CEO.
Since obtaining his Premium Residency, Saad has actively invested in and managed multiple ventures, contributing to the growth of Saudi Arabia's business sector. His entrepreneurial spirit has enabled him to introduce several foreign companies and international trademarks to the Saudi market, effectively bridging global businesses with the Kingdom.
Expressing gratitude for the Saudi government's efforts to foster a pro-business environment, Saad noted, "The government’s initiatives to support investors, encourage startups, and open up new sectors for growth have been instrumental in my success."
He highlighted how Vision 2030 has created valuable opportunities for entrepreneurs and foreign investors, transforming Saudi Arabia into a dynamic, forward-thinking business hub.
Beyond his business pursuits, Saad is dedicated to philanthropy. Through his investment company, he supports local small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) by providing mentorship and funding, along with contributions to social initiatives in education, healthcare, and community welfare.
Looking ahead, Saad plans to establish a holding company to manage his expanding investments in Saudi Arabia and internationally. His vision is to continue expanding his philanthropic efforts, exemplifying young, purpose-driven entrepreneurship in the region.
