At the age of eleven, Anand moved to Chicago with his family, after his Aunt sponsored and convinced the family it was “better for the kids”. He credits his Mother for his constant desire to make others happy and in her own way preparing him for his “play the game to change the game” mentality. Furthermore, Anand credits his father for his disciplined ability to discern emotion from objectivity and to always be introspective. He likewise credits his older sisters for protecting him and being the other two mothers that he had growing up.
