– I love my brand: Its strong heritage and, at the same time, its ability to promise to be exciting to today?s and tomorrow?s audience makes it a great brand.

– My job is great: The complexity of

my work and the opportunities it throws up to experiment with many new things; its great mix of strategy and execution all taken together make it great. I get to work across consumer segments across categories, managing and grooming young talent in the team and love the challenge of creating exciting marketing programmes in a ?low-involvement? category.

– Most inspirational moment: That was when I completed my first full marathon (Mumbai 2011). It reinforced my belief that one can achieve anything by enthusiasm, grit, planning well and executing the plan.

– The turning point in my career: My stint as head of sales development. It helped me appreciate how critical processes were in running a business.

– The first thing I do when I reach the office: Water the symbolic ?talent plant? kept on my desk and check my mails.

– My favourite social networking site: Facebook

– In my free time: I like to read, paint

– Brands I wear: Timex, Arrow, Skechers, Blackberrys
