• Role Models in Life: My parents are my biggest role models in life, whose boundless wisdom has helped me reach where I am today. Amongst the many life lessons my father taught me, the greatest of all were selflessness and the spirit of generosity, and being honourable and committed to one’s aims, goals, dreams and ambitions. My mother taught me resilience, strength and patience, whilst showing me how to sail through every phase of life bravely.
• Most Admired Business Leader: The greatest attribute of any business leader is bringing the best out of one’s employees and aligning all the workforce’s greatest strengths, putting the organisation before oneself. I deeply admire Shri Anil Jain for his impeccable qualities of patience, simplicity, and staying calm and cool in various unpredictable work situations. He also has an extremely positive and cool-headed leadership approach towards one’s business, team members and all others.
• Unforgettable Experience: The Bhagavad Gita has greatly transformed my perspective towards life and has moulded me into the individual I am today, which has reflected in every endeavour I take up in life.
• Hobbies: I am extremely fond of reading and travelling as they open up new perspectives and world views. I am also deeply passionate about social work and the peace it brings.
• Favourite Sports and Sportsperson: My favourite sport is cricket and I am an avid fan of Kapil Dev.
• Favourite Book: My favourite book is the ‘Black Swan’. It was an immensely thought-provoking read and provides great insights into how one can embrace uncertainties and the unpredictability of life.
• Social Responsibility: Sustainability is something that has always thrilled me. I love overseeing the meaningful, environment-friendly initiatives we undertake at Indo Count Industries Ltd.
• Mantra for Success: I believe in respecting and truly listening to the inputs of every individual around me and being firmly committed and loyal towards the people and dreams in my life. When it comes to business success, it is an extremely simple principle: focus on your goals and be fiercely determined to achieve them.
