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. Mohit Goyal, co-founder and director, Swiss Beauty, talks to BrandWagon Online about his weekends, favourite vacation destination and more.
1. What is the one thing you like to do when not working?
I love spending time with my family and friends. I also enjoy exploring new documentaries and movies on streaming platforms. Watching sports, especially tennis and cricket, is another way I like to relax and unwind.
2. How do you spend your weekends?
On the weekends, I look forward to spending time with my family. We often enjoy playing card games and exploring outdoor activities together. I also make time to reconnect with old friends over the weekend, catching up on life.
3. What are your favourite gadgets?
I keep my screen time to a bare minimum or avoid it if possible. My favourite gadget is my bullet journal. I write down all my tasks and new ideas and review them each day. It helps me plan my days better and set practical goals.
4. Given an option to choose another career, what would it be?
During my childhood days, I enjoyed mathematics and could have been a math professor. Also, I prepared for IIT, so another job possibility could have been an engineer. But fate had different intentions, and now I’m what you can call a beauty engineer.
5. Which is your favourite vacation spot?
I usually prefer mountains over beaches. Switzerland is my favourite holiday destination. The scenery and the mountains are quite exquisite. In India, I like Mussoorie because of its captivating landscape and peaceful environment.
6. A TV show, a movie, and an ad campaign you highly recommend watching
I highly recommend watching ‘The Pursuit of Happyness’, which is a heartwarming story of perseverance and determination. Also, the show ‘Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zone’ is a must-watch. It explores the habits of the world’s longest-living people and talks about the secrets to living a long and healthy life.
As for ad campaigns, a lot of brands are coming up with engaging and interesting ideas. The
Swiggy’s Gulaab Jamun Uncle was an interesting take on how the brand satisfies cravings within minutes. It humorously captures relatable moments around food delivery. Launching it during the T20 season with Harsha Bhogle’s witty commentary was also a genius move.
