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. Soham Thacker, founder and CEO, Gamerji, talks to BrandWagon Online about his weekends, favourite vacation destination and more.
What is the one thing you like to do when not working?
Having to balance my life as an entrepreneur and a dad. Life out of work is mostly spending time with my family and a little bit of gaming! As for games, I love to play Call of Duty when I have enough time on hand or else Clash Royale which is a quick three-minute game.
How do you spend your weekends?
Though I am in the gaming industry, I am a firm believer in outdoor sports. Over the weekend I prefer to spend time with the family and play tennis.
What are your favourite gadgets?
Again as a gamer, my answer would be my PS5. I love the graphics and the gameplay that you get on a console which cannot be compared to any mobile device. To add more touch to it, I have recently invested in a good VR headset which takes the thrill to a completely new level.
Given an option to choose another career, what would it be?
I used to run a Mexican food truck so might just go back to that. I am passionate about the food retail business and if not gaming then it would be that.
Which is your favourite vacation spot
Pondicherry is one of my favourite places to visit. It just has a very calm vibe due to the Aurobindo ashram and the French vibe adds to it. I usually go there to meditate and align with my inner self.
A TV show, a movie, and an ad campaign you highly recommend watching
The Lincoln Lawyer, Big Short and the Dream11 ad series from IPL 2023. The show has the perfect thrill that you would want from a legal TV series. Big Short as a movie has an amazing real-life plot of the US market crisis and how smart people could see it coming and make the most out of it. The Dream11 ad series from last year’s IPL where they used the plot of movie stars entering cricket because the cricketers are busy doing ads was awesome.
