Hi, I'm Satyam Kanabar Based in GIFT City, India

Building India's next global firm.

Partner at Befree Global and SuperRecords, our family business: 1,500 people, 3,000+ firms, offices across India and the Philippines. And when I'm not building teams, I'm building Bliss Horse Riding Club, my passion project in GIFT City.

The mission

Build an Indian firm that stands alongside the Big Four. Proof that Indian talent can power the world's finance teams, and our part in making India a developed nation by 2047.

Built in India

Our people in GIFT City, Ahmedabad and Chennai are the engine behind thousands of firms abroad.

Trusted by the world

3,000+ firms across Australia, the UK and the US rely on our teams every day.

Creating careers at home

Every new office and every new client means more world-class jobs for young Indians.

My story

Born into a business. Choosing to build it bigger.

I grew up inside a family business built on one promise: help accounting firms get through their workload with quality they can trust. Over 18+ years that promise turned into a global outsourcing partner for accountants, financial planners, SMSF specialists and mortgage brokers.

Now, at 24, I'm part of the generation taking it further. My work sits where the business meets people: winning new firms, especially US CPA practices, building and training our sales teams, and making the hires that decide where we go next.

In the last year alone we opened a delivery centre in the Philippines, moved Chennai into a much bigger home, and started moving into our new corporate office at GIFT City. We're just getting started.

My ACCA training means I understand our clients' side of the table: tax-season peaks, review bottlenecks and the constant pressure to do more with the same team.

Experience matters, but ownership matters more.

What I look for in every hire

My passion

Bliss Horse Riding Club

Horses are where I switch off and build something completely different. My brother Aditya and I started Bliss so kids, families and corporate teams could experience riding for themselves, 35 minutes from Ahmedabad, right by GIFT City.

What I think about

Ideas I keep coming back to

Hiring

Ownership beats experience

The right person doesn't just finish tasks. They raise the standard, create clarity and help everyone around them perform better.

Sales

Buyers changed faster than sellers

Clients now arrive having done their research. That's why we invest in training our sales team: the skills that got us here won't carry us forward on their own.

Economy

Reading past the headline numbers

I write about what Australian interest rates and inflation really mean for borrowers and brokers, beyond the headline figure.

Growth

Consistency over big ideas

Building something valuable takes patience when progress feels slow, the courage to make hard calls, and people who take ownership of the journey.

Travel

You learn differently when you watch people work

Time in the Philippines and Australia showed me how culture shapes speed, trust and service, and made me sharper at building across borders.

AI

Figuring out AI, together

On Instagram I share practical, hype-free experiments with AI tools and what they mean for finance and accounting work.
