Talal Al Ajmi, a Kuwaiti entrepreneur, is the founder and CEO of VI Markets. With a passion for financial markets and trading, he’s become a notable figure in Kuwait and the broader Middle East.
His journey began during university when he managed family businesses, and upon returning to Kuwait, he embarked on a career in investment. Gaining experience in financial companies, he eventually transitioned to entrepreneurship as a financial broker.
The launch of VI Markets
In 2010, he founded VI Markets in Kuwait; in addition to his current role, he is also a board member at One Financial Markets, VI Markets’ main partner. VI Markets collaborates with One Financial Markets, a London-based entity established in 2007, to offer tailored online trading services to Kuwaiti investors.

Promoting sustainable development through education
Steered by a goal to promote sustainable development through education, he established VI Markets with a focus to educate the people in Kuwait who are interested in trading and then let them start their own journey by managing their portfolios. Social media played a unique role in attracting both new and experienced traders in Kuwait and the Middle East.
He shared daily trades and offered educational content, strengthening his connection with the audience, and bolstering his success. Driven by the belief that education unlocks potential, he sought to empower women in the region who aspired to enter financial markets.
Therefore, he founded Yasmeen, an exclusive women’s forum providing tailored educational services, personal support, training, and trading solutions.
