He listens to people, even if they challenge his viewpoint
Anil has made a habit of listening to people’s suggestions and acting on them. When an investor questioned Anil’s commitment to his personal health (at a time when the business magnate weighed a whopping 103kg), Anil completely changed his diet and exercise habits to lose weight. When Anil’s mother, Kokilaben, told him to take measures to ensure his investors didn’t lose money, Anil made the drastic decision to exit the wireless telecom business.
He has a strict routine
Anil sticks to his daily schedule. He shows up at work at 9:30am and leaves work at 9:30pm. He goes to bed at 10:30pm sharp every single night.
