1 The job: Exuberance, high energy and constant challenges bringing newer opportunities define by my job 24X7. Leading a great team which shares the same passion for excellence is quite exciting. Creating value day after day for our users, so that they can save the most while shopping online is among the favourite aspects of my job. We are now in fact creating an eco-system for online shoppers wherein they can compare prices, discover products and also get cashback every time they shop on their favorite sites through CashKaro.com.
2 The weekdays: A typical weekday starts at 6.00am for me. Workout at the gym or a simple run for an hour gets me going. This is an important ritual since working hours get long in office. I reach office by 8.30am and after browsing through my mail box, I sit with my innovations and development team on the product and price discovery project we are working on these days. When not in office, I am normally attending events where I am called in as a speaker or meeting potential investors for future expansion. I reach home by 9.00pm and enjoy dinner and some quality time with my family.
3 The weekend: Weekends are a good combination of catching up on pending work, business planning and having fun with family and friends. Early morning you can find me at the gym pumping iron. I am an ardent believer of ‘Healthy Body, Healthy Mind’. Daytime is usually a fair bit of work while evenings are more fun and relaxed.
4 The toys: Kindle Paperwhite and Nikon DSLR camera are my prized possessions. Both really help me get away and de-stress.
5 The logos: I am a no brand person and I like to wear whatever suits me—my style is contemporary yet comfortable. It could be a pair of Ferragamo shoes or something we bought from local markets. Generally my wife Swati and brother Rajat shop on my behalf!
