Mr. Anil Jain began his business journey at the age of 16. As a student, he started working on a commission basis for a local printing press. During his B.Com. years at Narsee Monjee College, Mumbai, he set up a video cassette lending library in Malad with a loan of Rs. 17,000 from his father.

Inspired by his uncle’s similar venture in Kota, Anil created Malad’s first video library, called Manoranjan Video Library. Although it closed later due to the rise of cable TV, this venture gave him hands-on business experience.

He was also an active member of the Malad East Leo Club, organising quiz contests and funfairs across colleges in Mumbai. These experiences shaped his leadership and communication skills from a young age.
