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. Saurabh Agrawal, CEO Rubarru & RRemix 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, I love to experiment in my home kitchen. Cooking has always been a passion of mine, and trying out new recipes or perfecting old ones is incredibly relaxing and rewarding.
How do you spend your weekends?
My weekends are a mix of relaxation and inspiration. I spend quality time with my family, often exploring local farmers’ markets or new restaurants for fresh ideas. I also enjoy a good hike to recharge and clear my mind.
What are your favorite gadgets?
I’m a big fan of kitchen gadgets. My top favorites are my sous-vide cooker, which ensures perfectly cooked meals every time, and my high-powered blender, great for making everything from smoothies to soups. Outside the kitchen, I can’t live without my smartwatch to keep me on track throughout the day.
Given an option to choose another career, what would it be?
If I weren’t in the restaurant business, I’d love to be a travel writer. Traveling the world, experiencing different cultures, and sharing those stories with others sounds like an incredible adventure.
Which is your favorite vacation spot?
My favorite vacation spot is the Maldives. The Maldives offer an unparalleled blend of natural beauty and tranquility. The crystal-clear waters, pristine white-sand beaches, and vibrant coral reefs create a perfect backdrop for relaxation and adventure.
The overwater bungalows provide a unique and luxurious experience, allowing you to wake up to the sound of gentle waves and breathtaking views of the ocean. The Maldives are also a haven for water sports enthusiasts, with opportunities for snorkeling, diving, and kayaking in some of the world’s most stunning marine environments.
Aside from the natural beauty, the hospitality and warmth of the Maldivian people make every visit memorable. The local cuisine, with its fresh seafood and exotic flavors, is another highlight. For me, the Maldives is a place where I can truly unwind, recharge, and find inspiration for new culinary ideas.
A TV show, a movie, and an ad campaign you highly recommend watching?
TV Show: Shark Tank
I highly recommend watching “Shark Tank.” This show offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of entrepreneurship and business innovation. Aspiring entrepreneurs pitch their ideas to a panel of seasoned investors, known as “sharks,” in the hopes of securing funding and mentorship. The show is not only entertaining but also incredibly educational, providing valuable insights into what makes a business idea successful, the importance of preparation, and the critical role of negotiation skills. It’s a great source of inspiration and knowledge for anyone interested in business and entrepreneurship.
Movie: Lakshya
“Lakshya” is a Bollywood movie that I highly recommend. It’s a compelling story of self-discovery and determination. The film follows the journey of a young man, Karan Shergill, who transforms from an aimless and carefree individual into a disciplined and courageous soldier. The movie beautifully captures the essence of finding one’s purpose in life and the hard work and dedication required to achieve one’s goals. The inspiring narrative, combined with powerful performances and stunning visuals, makes “Lakshya” a must-watch for anyone seeking motivation and a reminder of the importance of perseverance.
Ad Campaign: Mutual Fund Sahi Hai
The “Mutual Fund Sahi Hai” ad campaign is one that I highly recommend. This campaign has been instrumental in educating the masses about the benefits of investing in mutual funds. It simplifies complex financial concepts and presents them in an easy-to-understand manner, making it accessible to a wide audience. The campaign effectively dispels common myths and misconceptions about mutual funds, encouraging more people to consider them as a viable investment option for their financial growth. Its success lies in its ability to blend informative content with relatable scenarios, empowering viewers to make informed financial decisions.
