Daniyar Zhanbekov

Daniyar Zhanbekov further diversified his portfolio by entering the media industry and founding Arai Media and Arai Production, which became one of Kazakhstan's leading private TV content producers. After selling this venture, he acquired Basel Insurance and recently departed from a lucrative partnership at Everest Capital Management, focusing on real estate development in Almaty. As of 2021, he remains the sole shareholder of Basel Insurance, a company noted for its robust financial health and strategic business expansion by S&P Global Ratings. Beyond his business ventures, Daniyar is deeply committed to mentoring young talent, particularly those from underserved communities. His mentorship programs provide career guidance, educational support, and financial assistance, empowering these individuals to build successful, independent lives. His efforts began in earnest when he hosted an Iftar dinner at an orphanage during Ramadan, realizing these children's profound desire for knowledge and guidance. Daniyar also initiated a student organization aimed at fostering religious understanding and tolerance following the September 11 attacks. This group is a vital forum for dialogue among students, spiritual leaders, and scholars, promoting peace and cultural respect. In his downtime, Daniyar Zhanbekov cherishes moments with his family and enjoys engaging in various activities, including soccer, table tennis, hiking, and swimming. His well-rounded lifestyle and dedication to his professional and personal life underscore his comprehensive approach to success and fulfillment.
