What motivates you?

To constantly learn about new things and make sense of the world around us. 

What’s been the steepest learning curve in your career journey so far?

During my consulting stint, I got the opportunity to work with companies across multiple sectors in different stages of their lifecycle with varying management philosophies. Some of the learnings from these experiences will remain with me for a long time to come, these include: 'There is no single recipe for success and one needs to be nimble and willing to adapt; Being empathetic is core to making thoughtful and deliberate decisions; Change comes in both forward and backward movement and the key is to stay on course.'

Which Indian or global tech trend are you most excited about at the moment and why?

Having had the privilege of working with one of the largest e-commerce companies in India, I remain excited about the evolution of consumer retail ecosystem in India. Multiple innovations across the customer purchase journey such as emergence of new channels to reach consumers, customized brand offerings, innovative affordability constructs etc. will impact sectors beyond retail and provide opportunities for entrepreneurs to build several interesting businesses.

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?

Life is a sum total of our experiences - so be open, try new things and don’t be afraid to make mistakes.
