Being flexible is the best way to learn and grow

BALANCING WORK-LIFE

Somebody once said, “Find something you love doing, make it your career and you'll never work a day in your life.“ The question of how to create a work-life balance becomes invalid when one loves their work. You end up enjoying every moment of it and it can often be an escape from the stresses of daily life. I'm fortunate to have been able to create this space for myself where I don't need to ration work and life because work is what I enjoy doing the most.

HAPPINESS & AN ENERGY HIGH

Every day at work is an energy high because I know I'm inching closer to my vision of building a self-sustaining organisation that can make an impact on millions of businesses across the globe.

DARE QUOTIENT

I believe in taking calculated risks in life and at work. Anything that your instinct tells you is not worth the risk, shouldn't be done. Period.

WINNING TRICK UP MY SLEEVE

I don't have a winning trick as such, but I do believe that keeping an open mind and being flexible about one's own ideas is the best way to learn and grow, personally and professionally. Often, along one's journey one encounters situations, ideas or people that will require you to change the blueprint you began with but it can also help you grow and open your mind to new possibilities.

ONE THING I ALWAYS SAY NO TO

Being unoriginal. Aping someone else or trying to copy someone else's path to success is a sure-shot way to fail.

LIFE LESSONS LEARNT

You are the only one responsible for your life. You are born alone and die alone. What I have learnt so far is that whatever you do in the middle should be based only on your opinion and preferences. Yes, one must always take feedback from one's near and dear ones. But ultimately, all your decisions should be driven by your own beliefs and goals.

SPIRITUAL DIET

A balanced diet of reading and running keeps me grounded. Reading is a great way to build perspective and running in the open outdoors is truly a way to heal the soul.

SUCCESS vs FAILURE

Success and failure are two sides of the same coin. Those who never try, will never fail and therefore, never succeed either.

TACKLING LIFE'S CHALLENGES

The only real challenge in life is to secure the basics. And the basics aren't very hard to get. After that, whatever we do is in an attempt to secure luxuries.

DE-STRESS MANTRA

A warm shower. Not only does this de-stress the body, it's also the quickest way to rejuvenate and unwind after a long day
