Hi @Prashantanu Singh Rathore (Temp),

Thank you for reaching out to the community.

Indeed, it is possible to use stages as anchors.
Here's an example way to do it as mentioned in this other community post:

definitions:
  steps:
    - step: &just-a-step
        name: Do the thing
        script:
          - echo 'Doing the thing'
  stages:
    - stage: &my-awesome-stage
        name: My awesome stage
        steps:
          - step: *just-a-step

pipelines:
  branches:
    master:
      - stage: *my-awesome-stage

Hope it helps and let me know how it goes.

Regards,
Mark C

Thanks its working. I tried for paraller step exuection inside an stage. But it failed. Please verify the following config

stages:
   - stage: &continuous-integration-pipeline
        name: continuous-integration-pipeline
        steps:
           - step: *Install-Dependencies
            - parallel:
                   - step: *Unit-Test
                   - step: *E2E-Test
                   - step: *Build

Okay. this link says stage does not parallel steps.
