This prestigious accolade facilitated his participation in the executive program "Leadership for System Change: Delivering Social Impact at Scale" at Harvard Kennedy School. Currently serving as the Chief Operations Officer at Study Hall Educational Foundation (SHEF), Anand continues to drive forward initiatives that promote equitable access to education and empower marginalised communities.
