Late Sqd. Ldr. (Redt.) M. L. Anand B.E. - BITS Pilani The son of a Punjabi Immigrant from Pakistan, 'Manu' as he was fondly known amongst friends and family was the only sibling out of all seven to opt for a professional degree in college. After graduating as an Electrical Engineer from BITS Pilani, he soon felt the call of the nation seeing the looming clouds of military conflicts surrounding the country at that time. He joined the Indian Air Force as a Technical Officer and took an active part during the 1971 war against Pakistan as a Technical Support Officer with a Fighter Squadron.

After serving the Air Force for 15 years, he retired and sought to answer to his genetic calling as an entrepreneur. Anand Control Systems was the result of his dedication and perseverance and an industrialist was born! Initially supplying mainly power systems such as Diesel Generating Sets to the Air Force, he steered the company towards a leading manufacturer and power solution provider. Electrical Panels, distribution boards, bus-ducts and trunking, control desks, etc., were introduced by the company under his guidance.

His vision and strategic business planning led the group into the 21 st Century. His contribution to society and nation building is our guiding force even today.
