1The job: I love thinking about new opportunities, frontiers, ways of expansion and identifying challenges and pain points in the business so as to build significant value. I love doing this every day—thinking hard around these pointers.
2The weekdays: I wake up at 6 am, and help my wife and my daughter with some daily chores. After dropping my daughter at her school by 7.15 am, I am at office by 8.30 am. My day at the office is spent attending to e-mails, conference calls, meetings with a variety of people, review sessions, etc. The nice thing about my work is that it varies a lot and brings new challenges/ learnings every day. On a normal day I wind up by 9.00 pm. Once I am home I spend quality time with my family till 11 pm and then catch up with some work.
3The weekend: Weekends are fun. Sporty weekends make up for all the lost family time. I play squash and enjoy jogging with my daughter apart from catching movies.
4The toys: My mobile and laptop are the two gadgets I can’t do without and are very crucial for my day-to-day work in office as well.
5The logos: I have a very humble background, and therefore I am not too brand conscious. I buy a product for its intrinsic value and not as much for brand value.
