Unique HR policies that support the balance of work and life have allowed us to emerge as an employer of choice.

ANAND is a front runner in leveraging technology-enabled green solutions to increase the pace of sustainable growth. We are frontrunners in driving sustainable mobility in our industry as India transitions to an electric vehicle ecosystem. Powered by global expertise and in-house manufacturing competence, we manufacture high performance EV products ranging from power trains to motors and controllers. The birth of ANEVOLVE, the complementary cleantech platform to ANAND, is a key milestone in our journey.
ANAND has, over the decades, developed an impact-focused environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) agenda. The Group has set ambitious targets to achieve carbon and water neutrality and Zero Waste to Landfill in its operations by 2025. Our philanthropic arm, the SNS Foundation supports communities and undertakes projects in education, skill development, health, hygiene, and community conservation, all in alignment with the UN SDGs.
Customer centricity is core to the ANAND’s business strategy. We aspire to be the first choice of the customers. We serve almost every original equipment manufacturer (OEM) present in India in every automotive segment with several of marquee names in the auto sector being our customers for decades. We have been recognised with prestigious customer, technology, and industry awards highlighting that ANAND remains steadfast in the pursuit of excellence.
ANAND offers initiatives spanning the spectrum of health and wellness to provide a supportive work environment. Our Group companies regularly organise yoga days and meditation sessions to help with employee well-being and stress management. Several ANAND campuses have facilities for tennis and indoor sports. In addition, through our Group-wide Employee Assistance Programme, Positive Pulse, our workforce has access to expert professional help and can seek one-to-one counselling support.
A Group as large and diverse as ANAND requires a process that encourages bonding among managers – across locations, companies and functions. With this objective, the ‘ANAND Retreat’ brings talented managers along with their spouses to an exotic SUJÁN location. While making friends with colleagues and having a relaxed time, the managers get acquainted with the ANAND leadership.
What sets ANAND plants apart from others is the sheer beauty and tranquillity of the environs in which they are situated. ANAND’s unique character is enriched by the greenery and well-manicured gardens, across locations. Adorned with seasonal flowers and over 10,000 trees, these properties reflect our commitment to build a green cover in the vicinity of our facilities.
The ANAND Group is spread across 11 states and clustered into five hubs, namely, Parwanoo, Gurugram, Nashik, Pune and Chennai. Each hub is known for its unique cultural flavour and diversity. All hubs regularly celebrate various functions and festivities and also encourage sports activities. All employees enthusiastically participate in these events and contribute to their success.
