Weekends are all about downtime. After a week full of work to meet deadlines, everybody needs a breather to relax and recuperate. From watching a favourite web series to planning a vacation, weekends are designated as family and me time. Manas Pal, Co-Founder, PedalStart, talks to BrandWagon Online about his weekends, favourite vacation destination and more.
What is the one thing you like to do when not working?
When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me unwinding with a good movie or immersing myself in music. It’s my way to relax, recharge, and sometimes even get inspired.
How do you spend your weekends?
Weekends are a mix of creativity and indulgence for me. I love brainstorming with mentors — it sparks fresh ideas and perspectives. And when it’s time to take a break, I explore new food outlets. Discovering new flavours and culinary styles is something I genuinely enjoy.
What are your favourite gadgets?
I’m a big fan of the reMarkable tablet. It’s perfect for note-taking, sketching, and staying organised — and it brings back the tactile joy of writing without the distractions of typical screens.
Given an option to choose another career, what would it be?
Honestly, I can’t think of anything else. There’s no plan B — I’m exactly where I want to be. That clarity keeps me grounded and driven.
Which is your favourite vacation spot?
Mountains — always. There’s something serene and grounding about being surrounded by nature, breathing in the fresh air, and disconnecting from the hustle.
A TV show, a movie, and an ad campaign you highly recommend watching?
One that really left a mark on me is the film “Jobs.” It’s inspiring to watch the journey of innovation and leadership. It’s a great reminder of how passion, vision, and resilience can create something truly transformative.
