Anjali has a background in music and philanthropic causes but seems to be moving towards a future helping to run a team.
Vivek Ranadive bought the Kings in 2013. The Kings have not made the playoffs since 2006. They just hired a new head coach following their latest change (no coach has lasted longer than three seasons since Rick Adelman in 2006).
