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. Akshay Gupta, founder, Pet Fed, talks to BrandWagon Online about his weekends, favourite vacation destination and more.
What do you like to do when you’re not working?
When I’m not immersed in the world of pets and Pet Fed, I find peace in two simple pleasures: a good drink and a leisurely drive. These quiet moments allow me to unwind and recharge, providing me with the clarity and inspiration needed to tackle new challenges.”
How do you spend your weekends?
Weekends are sacred family time, especially with my 1.5-year-old daughter. Being a busy entrepreneur, I cherish these precious moments to the fullest. We play, go on little outings, and just enjoy each other’s company. It’s a great way to relax and recharge.”
What are your favourite gadgets?
While technology has its place, I’m a firm believer in the power of traditional tools. I’m an old-school person who still relies on a diary and pen more than anything else. So my diary is technically my favourite gadget. It’s a simple but effective way to stay organized.
If you could choose another career, what would it be?
Architecture has always fascinated me. I spent four years studying Engineering Drawing and the allure of designing buildings and spaces has never faded. However, I believe entrepreneurship is my true calling. It allows me to bring my creative vision to life and make a positive impact on the world.
What’s your favourite vacation spot?
London holds a special place in my heart. Its rich history, diverse culture, and iconic landmarks make it an unforgettable destination. From exploring historic sites to indulging in world-class cuisine, London offers something for everyone.
Can you recommend a TV show, a movie, and an ad campaign?
I highly recommend watching ‘The Circle’ starring Tom Hanks and Emma Watson. It’s a thought-provoking film that explores the power of human connection in a digital age. The film’s poignant message resonates with me on a personal level.
