LASDAX is a global investment and intelligence firm founded in 2021 by Anup Reddy Perati. Originating in New York and rapidly expanding to Dubai and Europe, the company has built a reputation for high-growth equity strategies, AI-driven venture investments, and now defence-intelligence operations in Asia. In just a few years, LASDAX has established a presence across the United States, UAE, Switzerland, India, and Thailand, and is emerging as one of the most diversified firms in the strategic finance and intelligence sector.
Origins in New York
LASDAX was established in June 2021 in New York City as a specialized investment firm focused on high-growth equities. Despite volatile global markets, the firm delivered strong compounded annual growth rates, attracting UHNIs, family offices, and global private investors. With disciplined asset selection and risk-managed portfolio construction, LASDAX built investor confidence early in its journey.
Dubai as the Global Hub
Within months of launch, LASDAX expanded operations to Dubai—an emerging capital markets gateway and international business hub. Dubai quickly became the firm’s largest operational center, enabling access to Middle Eastern capital flows and global investor networks. The firm continues to advise billionaires and multi-millionaires, managing portfolios and building strategic investment structures.
Venture Capital and AI-Driven Investments
Beyond equities, LASDAX diversified into venture capital, targeting AI-focused startups and emerging technology ventures. According to the company’s 2025 filings, it acquired seven distressed startups; by mid-2025, six returned to profitability. This track record positioned LASDAX as a turnaround-focused investor capable of driving operational and technological value creation.
Entry Into Defence Intelligence: LASDAX Aegis StratOps
In 2025, LASDAX formally entered the defence-intelligence sector. The firm launched LASDAX Aegis StratOps, an ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) subsidiary approved to operate in Thailand—a rare milestone for a foreign entity in a regulated defence ecosystem.
Government Approval and Expansion Roadmap
Official defense operating approval in Thailand
Initial capital infusion: ~USD 20 million
Workforce target: ~40 specialists
Operational launch: June 2026
Recruitment start: February 2026
This initiative positions LASDAX at the intersection of intelligence solutions, defence technology, and strategic national capabilities in Asia.
Acquisition Strategy in Thailand
To strengthen on-ground expertise, LASDAX acquired SIRITECH Consulting and an additional undisclosed Thai intelligence-focused firm. These acquisitions reinforce LASDAX’s strategy to combine local domain knowledge with global ISR capabilities.
Strategic Divestment: USD 450 Million Deal Under Discussion
LASDAX is currently in discussions with a major Indian conglomerate to divest its equities and AI-startup division for an estimated USD 450 million, with the deal expected to close between April and June 2026. This includes the transfer of the Dubai office, while LASDAX continues operations from:
Zug, Switzerland
New Delhi, India
Bangkok, Thailand
The divestment aligns with the company’s transition toward defence, intelligence, and national-security technologies.
