An alumnus of XLRI (Batch of 1982), Kannan has had his grounding with organisations like Blow Past, Crompton Greaves, Hindustan Lever and the Murugappa Group. Kannan also runs a not-for-profit trust called Anuvikaz (www.anuvikaz.org). The objective is to educate and empower underprivileged sections of society by creating reading rooms, offering employment training/vocational guidance and workshops. Kannans latest venture is www.scooldudes.com (relaunched in 2013). This online platform hopes to be an after-school hangout for kids who can learn and develop their extra-curricular interests.

His love for the outdoors (treks, scuba diving, cycling and camping) is infectious and participants can expect an adventure.
