– I love my brand: It is simple, innovative, honest and humane. Cleartrip is a brand co-created with its consumers, and it has kept away from gimmicks and promising just what it delivers ? making travel simple.
– My job is great: I love marketing and my job as a CMO here. It’s all about understanding the consumer?s mind and behaviour. I like to be one who creates work that works. Being able to come to come to work in shorts is really cool. I revel in enjoying challenges, participating in heated discussions, grooving at office parties, enjoying the flexible work hours, and working in semi-formals around young, intelligent minds.
– My most inspirational moment: When I cracked the Indian Institute of Technology entrance exams!
– The turning point in my career: The success of the ‘MAK makes it possible’ and ‘Caught in the wrong job?’ campaigns were the turning points. These made me believe that I understand and know marketing and, especially, this business.
– My favourite social networking site: Facebook, because it?s the next big viral social network that helps me stay in touch with family and friends, sans any geographical barriers.
– In my free time: I play with the kids, spending time with my family.
– Average number of job offers I get in a year: Being much in demand, I choose to keep this a secret.
– Brand I like to wear: Tissot, Reebok and Woodland.
