The Beginning of a Larger Journey
Anup Kumar’s story is not one of privilege. He didn’t come from wealth.
Born into a well-known joint family in Changanacherry, Kerala, Anup faced significant challenges throughout his childhood and teenage years. Financial instability marked his early life, as his father struggled to maintain a steady income. Despite these hardships, Anup’s perseverance never wavered. After completing his education, he relocated to Chennai, Tamil Nadu, in 1997, where he began his career in Information Technology.
The Secret to Living is Giving Back to the Society
After gaining extensive international experience across Southeast Asia, Europe, and the United States, Anup returned to Chennai, Tamil Nadu. His life took a transformative turn in 2018 during the devastating Kerala floods. This event sparked a realization that led to the creation of the Krishna Hridhay Foundation—a charitable organization dedicated to giving back to the community. The foundation focuses on providing medical aid to senior citizens, supporting the education of underprivileged children, and offering shelter to those in need.
Today, Anup continues his work in Information Technology while managing multiple businesses in Karur, Tamil Nadu. He also serves as the Chairman of JCOM (Jaycees Chamber of Commerce) Karur Chapter, the business wing of Junior Chamber International (JCI). His guiding principle remains: “The Secret to Living is Giving Back to the Society.”
Anup’s mission is clear—he is committed to dedicating his life to a greater purpose, giving back to the community, and, most importantly, inspiring and empowering the young minds of India, especially, Tamil Nadu.
