It all started with a simple idea: to give people more opportunities. In 2018, our founding team launched leasing.express — a service that enabled people in Kyrgyzstan to lease cars without unnecessary bureaucracy. It challenged the established system: the young project immediately showed that innovation and an honest approach can drive entire industries forward.
From the very beginning, the fund chose a path of investing with the future in mind. Each new company in the portfolio became part of an ecosystem that was meant to change life around.
supporting education, culture, and healthcare
The stories of great deeds often begin with small steps. For Central Asia Capital, that step was the launch of leasing.express in 2018 — the first project in the field of auto leasing. In a country where many dreamed of affordable transport, the service quickly showed that modern financial instruments can change the lives of thousands of people.
The success became the foundation for the creation of an investment fund, which aimed to build an entire ecosystem. Thus, Central Asia Capital emerged — a fund that invests not only in business but also in the future of society.
The foundation began with what it did best — with finance.
A leasing company that has allowed thousands of Kyrgyzstanis to become owners of their own car. Today, the company is a market leader in auto leasing in Kyrgyzstan.

Central Asia Capital sees mobility as a symbol of freedom and progress.
For the foundation, business has never been an end in itself. Each company is a tool for change.
Since 2019, the fund has consistently supported orphanages, nursing homes, and inclusive centers, and has financed cultural festivals and educational programs. It helps establish new schools and clinics, while portfolio companies allocate a portion of their profits to social initiatives.
We are convinced that business must respond to the pressing challenges of society. This is why each investment of the fund pursues a dual goal: to create economic value and to generate social impact.
For Kyrgyzstan, this means supporting education and healthcare, protection of labor migrants, preservation of cultural identity and historical memory, development of new jobs and modern services.
In doing so, the fund turns economic projects into instruments of trust, cooperation and positive change. Our goal is for millions of people to feel the result not on paper, but in their daily lives: in their children's school, in their city's hospital, in the job they obtained, or in the services they use every day.
Behind each project of the foundation stands a team of professionals united by a shared mission — to create businesses that change the lives around. Anton Andreevich Sobin, the founder and chairman of the Board of Directors of Central Asia Capital, is the leader of this movement.
Anton Sobin — an expert in the field of strategic management, an investor, and an academic with many years of experience in Central Asia. Holding MBA and DBA degrees from the RANEPA and the German Academy of Management of Lower Saxony (DMAN), Anton is actively engaged in scientific activities in the field of strategic management, customer experience, and the financial sustainability of companies.
The main goal of the fund is to ensure that each project generates profit and becomes a step towards a stronger, independent, and fair economy in the region. 40,000 jobs, millions of clients, and hundreds of millions of soms for social projects annually — this is the plan for the coming years.
The fund does not rest on its laurels and is preparing to launch a new wave of businesses and initiatives that are meant to change the economic and social landscape of the region.
