Comment: Alomost all the citations are about something else (e.g. UBS School), with brief mentions of Anand. The Economic Times article seems to be the only lengthy article that isn't an interview, but was discounted as 'clickbait' at last year's Articles for Deletion discussion Sionk (talk) 20:59, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
