The Job
As the Managing Director of Lenovo Infrastructure Solutions Group (ISG) in India, I have the privilege of steering growth in one of the most dynamic and fast-evolving IT markets. My role encompasses a diverse range of responsibilities—from driving sales and building strategic alliances to managing products and devising go-to-market strategies. All of this is aimed at solidifying Lenovo’s footprint in compute, storage, networking, and services.
What excites me most about my role is the opportunity to solve real-world business challenges. It’s not just about providing cutting-edge technology but about fostering trust and delivering solutions that genuinely make a difference for our customers and partners. Every day brings new challenges, whether it’s navigating market complexities or finding innovative ways to ensure Lenovo remains a trusted partner for businesses embracing the power of technology. The journey is demanding, but that’s what makes it so fulfilling.
The Weekdays
My weekdays are a blend of strategy and execution. I’m a firm believer that while strategy might be abundant, effective execution is what truly stands out. A significant part of my day is dedicated to strategizing deals and making impactful decisions that drive tangible results.
To refine my decision-making skills, I’ve cultivated a habit of extensive reading, particularly case studies. These provide invaluable insights into real-world use cases, helping me apply practical lessons to our strategies. It’s my way of ensuring decisions are not just theoretical but grounded in actionable insights.
For mental and physical rejuvenation, I prioritize gym workouts and box breathing. These activities help me stay physically active while enhancing my mental clarity, focus, and resilience—traits essential for navigating a demanding professional landscape.
The Weekend
Weekends are my time to recharge and give back to society. I engage in multiple activities aimed at helping the underprivileged, which is both humbling and deeply fulfilling. Spirituality also plays an integral role, providing me with inner peace and perspective.
Family takes center stage during weekends, whether it’s assisting my daughters with their studies or cherishing moments together. Catching up with friends also helps me unwind. I often use weekends to reflect on what’s working and what needs improvement, seeking fresh perspectives by connecting with industry peers. Grocery shopping, a surprising but enjoyable activity, mirrors my commitment to a healthy and balanced lifestyle.
The Toys
Technology is indispensable in my life, enabling me to stay organized and efficient. Smart devices streamline my daily activities, while gadgets enhance both work and travel experiences. I’ve recently started using a smart ring that has transformed my approach to fitness. Despite frequent travel and changing time zones, this device keeps me on track by monitoring my activity levels, sleep patterns, and overall wellness. It’s a testament to how technology can empower us to lead healthier and more focused lives.
The Logos
I have a strong affinity for brands that represent timeless quality and a commitment to excellence. TUMI stands out for its impeccable craftsmanship and durability. I prefer buying things that are useful, as they reflect my practical approach to life and work.
