"I strum my guitar when stressed"

Managing work-life balance: I spend a lot of time travelling as my company has a presence in 16 countries. Despite my busy schedule, I have always been conscious about maintaining a work-life balance. I occasionally take time off to unwind with my family. I follow a few simple rules which have helped me. I'm usually at home on weekends and I always stay at home during birthdays, anniversaries and other special occasions.

Being a fit man: With a fast-paced life and long-distance travel across different geographies and time zones, it is crucial to maintain a healthy lifestyle to cope with stress. I am particular about my diet and follow a regular exercise routine.

High energy and happiness: When I get positive feedback it is very motivating. I strongly believe in the mantra: Work hard, party hard. Whenever I am bogged down with a challenge at hand, I take a break. It helps to divert the mind from the problem at hand and gives me a fresh perspective. I usually pick up my guitar and strum a few chords whenever I'm stressed out.

Risk-taker or a micro-planner: I am a risk-taker because I be lieve that a reasonable level of risk appetite helps one achieve more than playing safe. Some times, it's better to go with `gut' rather than overanalysing things. The most important thing is to be driven by passion.

Spiritual diet: `Stay committed, stay humble' is my motto. I believe in staying dedicated. Also, I always keep my ego in check and I'm receptive to logical arguments and new perspectives from others.

Handling failure/success: When there's a failure, I like to examine where things went wrong. Then I move on ng with the learning. Instead of getting bogged down, we take it as a lesson and look to wards improvement. I go by what Theodore Roosevelt said: "Keep your eyes on the stars and Roosevelt said: "Keep your eyes on the stars and your feet on the ground." I ensure that I don't let success get to my head. Success is more of an abstract term - something that is never quantifiable. What matters to me is how happy I am, how healthy I am, how happy are the people I work with, and what kind of impact I can make on the industry and society.
