Your 5pm to 9pm routine after your 9 to 5?

I don’t have a 5 to 9. I usually work well beyond 9 PM IST since I’m based in a different time zone.

A book or show you recently read/ watched that you would recommend?

I read graphic novels. So: Hostage by Guy Delisle is as powerful as it is minimal.

What wins would you like to celebrate from the last six months or a year, at work or in life?

I surfed, learnt to ride horses, got my open water diving certificate, managed to play football almost every weekend, lost six kgs, got adopted by a dog, spent quality time with my family; living a whole new life and growing closer together, and enjoy the work I do professionally. Can’t ask for more really.

Which industry leader has impacted you the most?

Nandu Narasimhan was formative. Ashish Chakravarty refined who I became later. And observing Sanju Ayappa at work, redefines life, the universe and everything; the guy is a genius.

The biggest development in the A&M industry this month...

It’s happy hours. One awards show comes with another one freeeeeee!

An ad film from the previous month that caught your attention?

Flipkart 'Double deals, Kodinhi'.
