Kumar Anand

This budding manager?s...

Hard work and perseverance paid off when he received a call for the Mc Master Conference at Hamilton in Canada ?It was indeed an honour to represent India. The theme for the presentation was ?Managing intellectual capital in a growth organisation in the knowledge economy?. The competition was tough, but all?s well that ends well. I won the ?Most thought-provoking paper presentation? award in the future business leaders category,? said the final-year business management student of XLRI.

Give me a place...

To stand and I will move the earth?. This quote by Archimedes inspires him to excel in life. ?An interaction session with T.N. Seshan when I was in Class XI at DPS, RK Puram left an indelible mark on me.? But, if he has to idolise someone, it would be ?an amalgamation of three persons. Seshan, whom I met, Lord Mountbatten whom I have read about extensively and former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi.? says Anand.

The West...

Does not lure this guy. But he plans to spend a few years working abroad to broaden his horizon. ?I think if I work in different countries for a few years it will do me a world of good on the professional front. But I would certainly like to return to India. Nothing will make me happier than working in my own country,? said Anand. Here?s wishing him all the best in life.
