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. Pallav Bihani, founder and CEO, Boldfit, talks to BrandWagon Online about his weekends, favourite vacation destination and more.
What is the one thing you like to do when not working?
Leading Boldfit is definitely demanding, but when I get some downtime, I love catching up with my friends and playing a few rounds of FIFA. It’s a fun way to unwind and connect, especially since we’re all pretty busy with work. And being a cricket fanatic, if I’m not playing FIFA, I’m likely watching a cricket match whenever I can steal a moment.
How do you spend your weekends?
Weekends for me are about striking the right balance. I recently got into pickleball, and it’s been such a fun way to stay active. It keeps me in the game, but in a more relaxed setting. Besides that, weekends are dedicated to family time, we love going out to new cafe’s or asian restaurants. Those moments are what help me recharge before diving back into the week.
What are your favourite gadgets?
I’m pretty big on staying connected and keeping track of my health, so my Whoop Band is my go-to gadget. It helps me stay on top of my fitness and recovery. And, of course, my phone—I don’t think any of us can function without it these days.
Given an option to choose another career, what would it be?
Honestly, I’ve always wanted to be an entrepreneur, so I can’t picture myself doing anything else. I love what I do and wouldn’t trade it for the world.
Which is your favourite vacation spot?
Definitely New York. It’s this incredible mix of cultures, ideas, and energy. Every time I visit, I leave with a fresh perspective. There’s something about that city that just clicks for me.
A TV show, a movie, and an ad campaign you highly recommend watching
For a TV show, I’d say Entourage—it’s sharp, full of twists, and really well done. On the ad front, I have a soft spot for classic Indian cricket campaigns like “Mauka Mauka” and more recently Pepsi’s “Youngistaan Meri Jaan.” They’re iconic and always leave a lasting impression.
