Some people think that the key to success lies within their daily routine. Do you agree with this, and if so, what is your daily routine?
I like to review my next day the night before, so in the morning, you’re more focused on getting ahead. However, things do come up that need to be prioritized, so keeping some degree of flexibility is necessary.
Looking back at your teenage years, did you have any entrepreneurial interests?
As a teenager, I was focused on developing my talents. For me, working on improving my capabilities was the best investment for the future.
Is there a specific time of day when you feel most productive?
My most productive time of the day is from 10 AM to 2 PM, typically.
Do you think there is one character trait/skill that is important to have in order to become a successful entrepreneur in today’s world?
It is always a bundle of skills that bring you success. If I were to select a few, they would be creativity, problem-solving ability, and determination.
Has being a woman in the business world affected you positively or negatively, and how so?
There were and still are challenges and stumbling blocks on the road to success and recognition that we need to deal with as women in the business. At some point, you learn that we, as women have a different and unique approach to the problem, which does not necessarily match the ways men will choose.
What is one major goal that you wish to achieve by 2030?
The specific goals come and go. The intention along the way is to keep creating a positive impact on people around me and strive to be part of a solution.
Who is your biggest influence and why?
Growing up, it was, and still is, my father. Among other things, I learn from him the traits of persistence and cultivating vision.
If you could pick one female entrepreneur, who would you say is your biggest inspiration?
Indra Nooyi, former CEO of Pepsi. Great leader. She prioritizes purpose in her leadership style, which resonates with my values.
What has been the most formative advice you have received and why?
One of the highly useful guidance I got was from my mentor Vik Mehrotra. When I was starting my business, he advised me to be very clear on the deliverables when dealing with new clients. It served me well to this day.
What has been the most impressive/memorable question anyone has ever asked you?
What do YOU think?
Well, I hope I asked some memorable questions. But would love to learn from yours 🙂 Also, I wish I could connect with Indra Nooyi, so she can read your interview. Let me know if you have her contact. She is a legend and accomplished amazing things in life.
If you have siblings, are they also entrepreneurs?
I have a six-year younger brother. He is not an entrepreneur. However, he has a great analytical and problem-solving mind.
Do you think the drive to become an entrepreneur is born with or is learned?
It is a combination of both. It can be perfected with intention over time.
