Such a pleasure to learn about his childhood, particularly his father, who told him, \u201cNobody in our family has the brains to be an engineer\u201d, which inspired Anil to prove him wrong; why he left tropical Madras, India, for snowy Wisconsin to gain a master\u2019s in engineering, and while there, how he organized \u201ccredit\u201d to buy a 1966 Mustang Convertible. Later, his company would serve \u201cthe first pizza in China\u201d, but \u201cwe were ahead of the time,\u201d Anil tells; and why he \u201cdoesn\u2019t do despondent\u201d, his rationale for his bullish mindset on Asia, and the need for young people to be risk-takers, but \u201cnot bet the farm\u201d. Learn how his fruitful career led him to establish one of the first private equity firms in Asia, and of course, what led to him to cofound Aman Resorts, along with his passion for the wilderness and Arctic travels, philanthropy and volunteerism, and gender equality \u2014 to Pass The Power on to you.
