Anand’s path in sustainability started with a fundamental question: how can we create impact that transcends traditional boundaries? This question led him to the Indian Institute of Forest Management in Bhopal, where a growing interest in the social dimensions of sustainability evolved into a lifelong commitment.

At SAGE Sustainability, his intrapreneurial approach embodies a core belief that meaningful solutions emerge at the intersection of creative imagination and structured problem-solving.

Outside his professional work, Anand finds perspective through documentary work that amplifies community stories, and through wildlife videography and photography that deepens his connection to the natural world.
Physical challenges shape his approach equally. Whether representing his college in volleyball and cricket or undertaking demanding treks, Anand views physical resilience as inseparable from mental fortitude.

For him, true sustainability demands more than technical expertise, it requires emotional depth and strength of mind.

“Sustainability is a continuous journey of understanding the world around us as well as ourselves.”
