Anand first learned about Mindful Littles during the Covid-19 pandemic when he was assessing his own mental health and self-care techniques: “It became clear very quickly that Mindful Littles is an organization I want to support, specifically because of the aspects of mindful service and education.” What started as curiosity soon grew into a position on the Mindful Littles board. Anand also serves on the board of The Street Smarts and is the Chair of The Penserra Foundation.

Anand holds a B.S. in Managerial Economics from UC Davis. As a Senior Vice President – Portfolio Manager for Penserra Capital Management, he and his team manage the day-to-day activities for 40+ exchange traded funds (ETFs), across multiple investment types.

When he isn’t working, you can find Anand practicing mindful minutes – brief breaks when he steps aways, does some push ups, takes a deep breath and gets present – hanging out in his new hometown of Oakland, California or pursuing his passion for golf (you should see his Zoom background).
