There are many ways to do this, depending on how robust you want to be about
error conditions, i.e. when A1 is none of those values.

Ignoring error conditions, you could write simply:

=choose(A1-510,"anil","sunil","amit","ritesh")

A little more bullet-proof:

=if(and(511<=A1,A1<=514),choose(A1-510,"anil","sunil","amit","ritesh"),"")

If you might have more than 29 names (the limit for CHOOSE), you might want
to set up a table in a range and use VLOOKUP.

Enter in B1

=LOOKUP(A1,{511,512,513,514},{"anil","sunil","amit ","ritesh"})
