1. Atul Hegde
Atul is my dear friend, mentor, and guide. From business to family and everything in between, he is someone that I often look to for guidance. There is no greater pleasure than being in the company of people who inspire and bring out the best in others. Fortunately for me, I don’t have to look very far.
2. My Hometown
I often venture back to my hometown, Jabalpur, for respite. I love its clear air, ample space for reflection, the nostalgia it brings back, and its mysterious spirituality. It has been the source of a lot of personal growth, and each trip invigorates me with energy that I am able to channel into my business and my life.
3. Workouts
“It’s simple. Do it.”- Dwayne Johnson
The everyday stress of being an entrepreneur can quickly get out of hand. Working out regularly helps me counter that. Exercising in the morning helps set the mood and the energy for the entire day. It helps me focus better and maintain a creative thought process, which assists greatly in problem solving and innovative thinking. Even with frequent work trips in different time zones, working out is one thing that adds consistency to my routine.
4. Elon Musk
Elon Musk is a transformational leader who dares to dream big and achieve bigger. I admire his resolve to accomplish what no one ever has. Also, what he has been able to accomplish with EVs and SpaceX. It shows a lot of grit in character and reaffirms the fact that if you work hard enough with the right vision, anything is possible. In fact, I am currently reading a book on him right now and definitely hoping to take a page or two from it.
5. Cars
I’m a sucker for fast cars! I appreciate the celebration of speed in this fast-paced world.
