Shoe dog by Phil Knight. Best pick up read ever.

One dialogue of a movie that motivates you or you like the most?

Japan as a country and as a culture fascinates me. I really want to spend at least a month exploring that country.

The harder you work, the luckier you get.

To go down the start-up route with Varun.

A strategy that you always use to take your decisions in Personal or Professional life?

I have a very analogue way of working when it comes to decision making. I like to write down my thoughts in my notebook before I implement them. Helps me structure my decisions better.

I have a close inner circle which includes family, friends, and mentors. So depending on the dilemma, they can act as a panel of experts I can pick and choose from.

What has been your biggest achievement? 

I have a drawer full of handwritten letters from glitchtards who term Glitch as home and all of us as a family. No other award or certification can match that emotion.

I have been accused of putting logic over emotion. While it has served me well so far, I should probably work on my EQ a little more I feel.

A line said by your close one that you never forget?

My dad always told us when things didn’t go as per plan, “It’s not the end of the world”. Over time I realize that is the most glass half full way of looking at life.
