Author Anu Pillai was born in a small village called Haripad at his maternal grandfather’s house. His paternal grandfather was one of the pioneers in processing In-Shell cashew and exporting Cashew Kernels from India more than a century ago. Thus the author inadvertently stumbled into his role as a third-generation entrepreneur. Growing up he had the good fortune of hearing the legends and personalities associated with the cashew business from its inception. As most of these stories emanated from family retainers a sense of exaggeration was a certain ingredient. This hoary past motivated the author to pen a book on these lines.
The author’s interests other than cricket and reading are mainly in the areas of Cashew and Renewable Energy in business.
