🎓 Early Life & Education
Sanjay Anand was born and brought up in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh — one of the most historically and commercially significant cities in North India. Growing up in Bareilly gave him an intimate understanding of the city’s educational gaps and aspirations, which would later shape his life’s mission.
He pursued his graduation from the prestigious Bareilly College between 1985 and 1987. During his college years, he developed a keen interest in commerce and entrepreneurship. His academic foundation, combined with his practical exposure to his family’s textile business, gave him a rare dual strength — academic awareness and real-world business understanding.
From an early age, Sanjay Anand demonstrated leadership qualities. He believed strongly that quality education was the most powerful tool for individual and societal transformation — a conviction that would ultimately lead him to build one of Bareilly‘s most recognised private education groups.
