After Hours with Anupam Mathur, Head – Sales & Marketing, Timex Group
1. The job: The same job everyday could get tedious but working with Timex has been thrilling as every day requires me to overcome challenges to create a brand that symbolises technological innovation. Every day is a learning experience in itself, where the team strives to cater to today’s tech savvy audience by trying to innovate on our offerings. Now, who can have a dull day with a bag full of exciting goals to fulfill!
While working hard doesn’t worry me, what I detest is complacency. I believe in giving my best in everything I step into and not stop until I am convinced that I have exhausted all my resources.
2. The weekdays: Given my hectic lifestyle, I start my day with light yoga and cycling. A normal weekday entails working on multiple fronts starting with goal setting to align our efforts towards further strengthening Timex’s legacy as the pioneer in timekeeping and techno-logical innovation. This is followed by team meetings and reviews along with customer interactions and engagements through the day.
3. The weekend: Weekends are all about relaxing, which for me is diving into different sports like aero modelling. It interests me a lot. Flying my own model in the air gives an amazing thrill. Additionally, I also love squash and cycling.
4. The toys: I can’t do without my priced possession – PS3. I love spending a lot of my time on it. It helps me relax my mind.
5. The logos: Being the sports and fitness enthusiast that I am, Timex Ironman is my companion. The Move x20 is my activity tracker throughout the day whereas the Run x20 is my workout buddy while I am cycling or jogging.
