Anand is your man-Friday kinda guy. He’s worked on strategy, branding, events, and direct marketing for a host of well-known national and international brands and retailers. Mothercare, Arrow, and Foodworld, to name a few. Before striking out on his own, he led the national retail operations team at Weekender & Weekender Kids, one of India’s first fashion chains. He’s also actively involved in the promotion of water sports and has organized several  national-ranking rowing, kayaking, canoeing, dragon boat and sailing championships and regattas. During his spare time, he’s learning to play the bansuri (in stealth mode), but a neighbour spilled the tea and called the cops on him for making a racket. Brutal.
