Weekends are all about downtime. After a week full of work to meet deadlines, everybody needs some breather to relax and recuperate. From watching a favourite web series to planning a vacation, weekends are designated as family and me time. Vedant Kedia, CEO, Mount Everest Breweries Ltd , talks to BrandWagon Online about his weekends, favourite vacation destination and more.
What is the one thing you like to do when not working?
In my free time, I enjoy playing chess online. There’s something uniquely satisfying about a spontaneous game to sharpen my mind. The unpredictability brings new challenges each time. Chess holds a special place in my heart, as it has taught me valuable lessons about navigating unexpected obstacles, both on the board and in life.
How do you spend your weekends?
On weekends, I love spending time playing board games and pickleball. I also enjoy drinks with friends. Besides this, I cherish the quality time I get to spend with my dogs during my free moments.
What are your favourite gadgets?
My laptop and AirPods are my go-to gadgets, keeping me productive at work and entertained with pop culture during breaks. However, my Whoop is the one I’m most attached to—both literally and figuratively. It tracks my movements and health, helping me stay in a healthy state of mind so I can focus my energy on work.
Given an option to choose another career, what would it be?
Entrepreneurship runs in my blood, and seeing fellow young entrepreneurs succeed has always been a strong source of motivation for me. But, if I were to choose another career, it would be as a venture capitalist, where I could help emerging businesses grow and achieve their full potential.
Which is your favourite vacation spot?
As an avid explorer, I’ve travelled to many places over the years, but Banff, Canada, stands out as my favourite. The stunning scenery of the Rocky Mountains, paired with the soothing hot springs, makes Banff my ideal vacation destination.
A TV show, a movie, and an ad campaign you highly recommend watching
I’d recommend shows and flims like The Boys and Anatomy of a Fall, along with the Great for the Good campaign by Cred. The Boys is great for its dark twist on superheroes, mixing humour and some real-world issues. Anatomy of a Fall is an awesome thriller with a legal drama that keeps you guessing. As for the Great for the Good campaign, it stands out because it featured Neeraj Chopra during the IPL, really highlighting credibility in a fun, creative way.
