The Job
My work is not just a job; it’s my calling. I’m deeply passionate about bringing financial inclusivity to India. It’s all about creating a platform that’s not just user-friendly but entirely customer-centric. I’m particularly excited about serving the young and dynamic population in our country, offering them a seamless experience that combines credit and payments in one app. It’s about being the go-to solution for all things related to money. Years ago, I took a bold step by leaving a great career in Silicon Valley and bidding farewell to my consulting role at McKinsey to start RING.
The Weekdays
My day begins very early, precisely 5:00 AM. Those early morning hours are when I’m at my sharpest, and I’m proud to be part of the 5:00 AM club. It’s a time when I can think, plan, and accomplish a lot of work. After that, I make it a point to squeeze in some playtime because it’s essential to stay physically and mentally fit. I also ensure I spend quality time with them. In the office, I’m a hands-on leader, deeply involved in the day-to-day operations of the company.
The Weekend
Weekends are my sanctuary. I take a break from the office buzz and prioritise work-life balance. I’m an avid traveller and enjoy exploring new destinations with my family. Playing squash and tennis is a passion of mine, and it’s not uncommon to find me engaged in a spirited game. But the real highlight is my children. My son is an international-level chess prodigy. I often accompany him to tournaments worldwide and play competitively when possible. My daughter and I share a special bond over movies—both being connoisseurs of great films, with suspense and thriller being our common favourite themes. An avid writer, I make it a point to enjoy her stories, play her games, and watch her favourite movies.
The Toys
I’m not one to be swayed by brands or labels. What matters most to me is comfort and functionality. I pick what suits me and makes me feel at ease. Life’s too short to get caught up in the latest fashion trends.
The Logos
Staying in shape is a top priority. My trusty Fitbit helps me keep tabs on my physical activity. Even during my office hours, I opt for walking while taking calls outside my cabin. As a poker enthusiast, the game hones my judgment, and mental sharpness, and helps create a strong social bond with fellow enthusiasts. Nothing beats an early morning run with my favourite Jabra headset. I have a deep appreciation for the arts, love to travel and read extensively.
