Anand Retires!!

[Irenicus]

Question. Does Anand still own the site? Or is the site owned by some larger parent company?

If he is still the main owner, even if he is not part of the day to day operations, he is kind of still connected to the entire enterprise. He is the creator/founder after all. He's just moving into his Bill Gates phase.

 

[bradley]

Hmm... I just noticed the guy whose name is on this forum, also Anand. Coincidence? I think not.

 

[It's Not Lupus]

I am extremely proud of my fellow countryman, having built one of the most popular tech websites on the internet. Wish him all the best for his future!

If he was born in America, he's American.

Just because he's part ethnic Indian doesn't mean you share the same achievements. Living vicariously through someone is pathetic.

 

[Irenicus]

Anand needs an epilogue for his run at Anandtech.

The epilogue of star trek II the wrath of khan.

Fitting, Star Trek II was released in June of 1982, the same as Anands birth year/month, and it's a great and noble theme for a send out.

Anand, dude are we still on for steak and Lobster on your yacht on labor day??

 

[thecoolnessrune]

I definitely wish him well in the future. Few have had the fortune to pull off what he has so young in his life.

 

[Tsavo]

I heard he's moving to Prague to open an ESL school...called AnandCzech.

His parents are Indian and I'm sure their upbringing and values have a lot to do with his success. Why do you think he mentioned his parents in the article?


Just because you don't have anything to be proud of except overweight people and school shootings doesn't mean you can shit on others.

I'm guessing that there is a sale in the works. This is just a first step to distance the owner from the biz to get a better price. Investors like to see a business run it self without the creator behind it. It proves that it's a viable business. The move will probably double the value of the site or at least add a few mil more.

I came here due to the FS/FT forums and then never left. I rarely read reviews. But it's good to see someone that can decide when they just want to move on. Good luck!

Sorry to see him go, but best of luck to him in his future endeavors!

You're being too modest. Don't forget to be proud of this too.

Since anand isn't a member and hasn't ever posted he isn't part of this community at all. From what we have gleaned over the years is all he cared about was page hits . He's not involved in any way and frankly I don't give two shits about what he does at this point.


It's kind if sad that after all the revenue our netting has given him the least he could do is let jeebus do a ms paint portrait and come in here and say something .





I mean wtf at least say hello once a year. It's kind of dickish to never say hello.




Oh and I am now thinking that anand is stewox untill he proves us otherwise.

[OILFIELDTRASH]

If you were Anand would you claim this forum? Distancing himself from p&n and the likes was a very smart business decision.

 

[Engineer]

Thanks Anand and enjoy this next phase of your life!

 

[SandEagle]

Anand, if you get lonely after retirement, for a small fee you can come hang out with me. i'm a blast at parties.

 

[JEDI]

Most young millionaires don't retire but instead focus on being hundred millionaires, or billionaires. Congratulations to him to not being a slave to his incredible entrepreneurship and let it control him.

High net worth people are some of the most tortured, and depressed people I've ever seen, many of them could use an early retirement. I'm glad he has seen that.

he could have been a lot higher net worth is he didn't shoot himself in the foot in the Hot Deals section in the dot com hayday.

no coupon codes allowed whereas other sites (ie: chubby wallet) allowed it.
imagine if AT had all that traffic as well

I am guessing that your just guessing and actually don`t know a whole lot....

 

[Ryujin Jakka]

Wow i wish i could earn fortune before 30s and retire and just enjoy rest of my life

 

[norseamd]

Well lots of blessings and good luck in whatever Anand decides to do next in his life.

 

[Fenixgoon]

Congrats to Anand! All of your hard work has most certainly paid off. Good luck in the next adventure that waits for you! Can't imagine you're just going to sit on a beach sipping mai tais (at least not forever )
