In a country where the usual advice is to “focus on studies, forget the rest,” Atul Anand chose to listen to something deeper—his own heartbeat at the starting line.
From the lanes of Bihar to the corridors of World Wide Technology, Atul’s journey is not just about medals or milestones—it’s about never letting go of who you are, even when the world asks you to choose. He’s a national-level sprinter, a top-performing tech architect, a quiet motivator, and a man who is living proof that dreams don’t have to cancel each other out.
With six national championship qualifications under his belt, Atul is currently the fastest sprinter in his state—but that didn’t happen overnight. It took years of grit, hundreds of early mornings, and countless sacrifices, all made in silence. In parallel, his tech career bloomed. Within just 10 months at WWT, he was honored with the Top Producer and Passion & Ethics awards—an achievement rare even for industry veterans.
But perhaps what makes his journey most powerful is what’s beneath the surface: his refusal to give up. “There were times I had to pause athletics to prioritize academics,” Atul reflects, “but I always came back. Because the dream never left me.”
From golds and silvers on the track to building high-impact tech solutions, his story is a masterclass in self-belief. Now, he’s also channeling his energy into mentoring young athletes, building stealth-mode startups, and quietly shaping a new narrative for Indian youth: You can run both races, and you can win them too.
For Atul, the goal is bigger than glory. “If even one child looks at me and says, ‘I can chase both my dreams,’ that’s the win I’m really after.”
In a world obsessed with speed, Atul Anand is running his race with soul.
