Anil Kumar B
Managing Director
Al-Ansab Modern Bakery LLC, Oman
In the world of business, true success stories are often born not in boardrooms, but in the quiet struggles of determined individuals who dare to dream beyond their circumstances. Anil Kumar B, the Managing Director of Al-Ansab Modern Bakery LLC in Muscat, is one such story—an inspiring tale of grit, resilience, and transformation. From the quaint town of Nedumangadu in Kerala, where he was raised in a humble farming family, to building one of Oman’s most trusted bakery brands, Anil’s journey is a powerful reminder that with vision and relentless perseverance, anything is possible. His rise from a small-time salesman to a respected entrepreneur has not only reshaped his own life but has also created opportunities for dozens of others.
Anil Kumar was born on October 22, 1970, in Nedumangadu, in the Thiruvananthapuram district of Kerala. His father, the late Kunjan Baskaran, was a dedicated farmer, and his mother, the late Ambujakshi, was a homemaker who nurtured her family with love and simplicity. Anil’s formative years were shaped by the earthy rhythms of village life and the values of humility, perseverance, and compassion.
Having completed his SSLC education, Anil did not take the conventional route of higher studies. Instead, he chose the path of entrepreneurship early in life, driven by an inner calling to create something of his own.
In the early 1990s, with little more than grit and courage, Anil opened a small supermarket in Thiruvananthapuram, a modest venture that introduced him to the realities of managing a business. These years were instrumental in developing his instincts for trade, customer service, and operational know-how.
But Kerala’s opportunities were limited, and Anil dreamed bigger. In 1992, at the age of 22, he set foot in the Sultanate of Oman, seeking a better future not just for himself, but eventually for those he would go on to employ and uplift.
From 1992 to 1999, Anil worked tirelessly across various towns in Oman—Jala Abu Hassan, Deshkara, and Ibra—taking up whatever jobs came his way. These were years of struggle, spent learning the local culture, saving every rial, and absorbing the nuances of a new land. He did not shy away from hard work, and every job became a stepping stone in his growing understanding of the Omani market.
His break came in 1999 when he joined Al Fawaris Bakery LLC as a salesman. It was here that Anil found his true calling. As he moved through neighborhoods delivering bread and baked goods, he envisioned a future where he could bring innovation and quality to this staple trade. Over time, he began to see not just loaves and cakes, but possibilities—of building a brand, of creating jobs, and of feeding a community with heart and soul.
In 2012, after over a decade of experience and tireless groundwork, Anil launched the first unit of Al-Ansab Modern Bakery in Azaiba. What started as a small bakery quickly gained a loyal following for its quality, consistency, and community-focused approach. Another outlet in Al Ghubrah was set up soon after.
Success did not slow him down. In 2014, another unit opened in Al-Ansab, giving the company its name. The most significant milestone came with the establishment of a full-fledged factory in Falaj-Sham, which became the heart of the bakery’s production. Anil also set up another factory in Al Amerat later. With the opening of a unit in Iski, named Al Diya Bakery, Anil’s vision had become a reality—a robust chain of bakeries serving diverse communities across Oman.
Today, Al-Ansab Modern Bakery employs around 80 staff members, a team that Anil considers his extended family. His leadership style blends discipline with empathy, and he takes personal interest in ensuring that each employee thrives.
Beyond business, Anil Kumar B is a man deeply rooted in his cultural and social values. He is a passionate supporter of charity work, often extending a helping hand to those in need. His commitment to social welfare is evident in his active role as President of MNMA (Marunattil Malayali Association) and as a member of the Trivandrum Association in Muscat. These platforms have allowed him to stay connected with his roots while serving the larger Indian community in Oman.
Anil is married to Pinku Anil Kumar, who plays a key role in the business as both Accounts Manager and Director. Together, they form a dynamic partnership that balances business acumen with financial prudence.
The couple has two children. Their son, Abhinav Anil, is currently pursuing a B.Com degree at the College of Banking and Finance, affiliated with a UK university. Their daughter, Aavani Anil, a bright and ambitious tenth-grade student with aspirations that reflect the same ambition and promise that shaped her father’s journey.
From a farmer’s son in Kerala to a respected business leader in Oman, Anil Kumar’s story is one of quiet courage and unshakeable determination. His rise was not the result of shortcuts or privilege but of decades of sweat, smart decisions, and a profound sense of purpose.
Today, as the Managing Director of a thriving bakery enterprise, he continues to innovate, inspire, and give back—proving that success isn’t just about wealth or expansion, but about the legacy one leaves behind in hearts, homes, and communities. Anil Kumar B’s life is a testament to the power of humble beginnings, relentless hard work, and the will to dream beyond borders.
