Get to know Anagh
What is one thing you can’t live without?
Music! I think life would seem a lot duller if we didn't discover our favourite songs along the way.
What’s the most impactful piece of advice you’ve received?
Growing up in a spiritually inclined family, I was exposed to learnings from the Bhagavad Gita early on as a child. The one quote that stuck with me the most was, ‘You have the right to perform your actions, but you are not entitled to the fruits of the actions’. It has helped me move on from failures, big and small, with critical learnings, and continues to be an important principle for me.
What’s your favourite invention or innovation?
The theory of probability! The real world is complex and unpredictable enough; I can only imagine how impossibly hard it would be to make any sense of it if we didn't have a way to represent it in numbers that we can actually understand.
