The Job
The most rewarding aspect of my role is the constant innovation and the ability to make a tangible difference in users’ lives. At Meesho, I thrive on diving deep into user insights, building scalable, technology-driven solutions, and seeing the real-world benefits these solutions bring to our customers. It’s incredibly fulfilling to empower users with access to unique, affordable products, enhancing their shopping experience through an AI-powered marketplace and a commitment to making UX simple for the NBU (next billion user) persona. Witnessing our impact firsthand brings me immense joy and motivates me daily.
The Weekdays
I usually wake up sometime between 6-7 am. First thing I do is check my phone, to find out in case there’s any urgent problem that needs to be handled. To be honest, I personally believe that it is not the best thing that one can do after waking up but I also understand its importance. In addition to this, thrice a week, I dedicate some time to exercising. This includes weights, endurance training and flexibility. On other days, I spend time reading books, news and blogs. After all of this, I have breakfast and usually reach the office by 10 am. After work, I like to unwind by spending time with my family and friends.
The Weekend
My personal time is primarily dedicated to spending quality moments with my family. We enjoy regular outings, often for meals, which allows us to connect and create lasting memories. While my schedule can be demanding, I prioritise weekdays for physical activity, often incorporating workouts into my routine. Also, with the arrival of my newborn, I cherish the extra time we spend together as a family.
The Toys
For me, personally, the two gadgets I just can’t live without are my smartphone and my laptop. My smartphone keeps me connected to my loved ones, which is an essential part of life. Meanwhile, my laptop is my indispensable workhorse, allowing me to stay productive.
The Logos
For smartphones, I prefer Google Pixel. It runs a stock version of Android with fast updates and boasts a fantastic camera. I’m also a big fan of Gramin smartwatches. I’ve been using one for a while now, and it’s truly enhanced my daily routine and fitness journey. It accurately records my steps, heart rate, and even my sleep patterns, which has been a game-changer.
