[3] Following his education, Anadkat worked in the United States, eventually starting his own corporate finance firm in Connecticut.
He returned to Malawi in 1992 and successfully applied for the country's first private banking licence in 1994, which was unexpected as the financial sector had been closed and largely state-controlled until that point.
Anadkat remains its principal shareholder, and serves as a non-executive board member of FMB Capital and its subsidiaries.
In 2007, Anadkat entered into a consortium with Press Corporation and Old Mutual that took over Malawi's main telecoms provider TNM.
Anadkat has publicly decried prison conditions and congestion in Malawi and faulted magistrates for giving disproportionately large sentences for minor offences.
