Later he changed his field of work to form a think tank with N. S. Rajaram in Bangalore.

Kindari Jogi

G. Anil Kumar has created ripples in Kannada journalism [3] by creating a unique educational magazine for school going children called 'Kindari Jogi', a Kannada name for famous 'Pied Piper'.

It was felt that children were not getting the required attention of the mainstream media, especially in Indian languages. In this era of celebrity-centric journalism, young students are not getting anything useful from the media. So, in April 2007 he started a special 8-page, all-color, attractive weekly educational supplement for the young readers.

From the day one, this Saturday supplement of Samyukta Karnataka has become a great hit beyond everybody's expectations. Unique content, catering to the specific needs of the students (in the age group of 9–16 years) with international quality and good design & printing are the hallmark of 'Kindari Jogi'.

Thousands of schools have welcomed it with great enthusiasm. [3] They are offering 'Kindari Jogi' to their students as a supplementary material to their regular textbooks. A simple, dedicated, concerned and, of course, tailor-made approach to kids' infotainment needs has now created a great revolution in Karnataka.
