If not in the current profession, you would be?

Ans: I guess I would have given a try to be an actor/model. I like to stay in the trend. Maybe that's why I am working on the Electric vehicles segment which will be the future.

One tune you always hum?

Ans: Depends upon the day and my mood. Early mornings are more towards peppy soundtracks and late evening's soothing tunes help me relax. During the day, if time allows I do follow songs that are trending to stay updated with the music scenario both nationally and internationally.

One book to read when you want to motivate yourself?

Ans: Monk who sold his Ferrari and Think like a monk. Any good read which reminds or connects me with my purpose is a must-have for my collection.

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

Ans: "If you want something, go get it. Period." from Pursuit of happiness. It is the single line that motivates me to strive towards my goals and achieve them.

The place you have never been to and always want to go?

Ans: Australia & Scotland. Beaches and Scottish traditions always have been alluring, this can not be substituted by any other place till I visit them myself.

An animal that signifies you & why?

Ans: I would prefer a hybrid of Dolphin and a Lion. A dolphin because it's smart and helpful and a lion because it is strong and courageous

A Movie Character you most resemble or resonate with?

Ans: Batman- the determination is inspiring even when the situation is not favourable. Overcoming the worst fears and achieving something magnificent is the DNA of the character that I relate to

If your life was to be turned into a movie, who would you like to play your part?

Ans: It has to be Christian Bale, being a Batman fan I would love to see on-screen Batman play my part. If it ever happens, I don't think there are many words in my dictionary to describe my feelings

Luck or Hard Work, what do you think weighs more in defining a successful person?

Ans: I am a true believer in handwork and smart work. One has to be lucky enough to understand the difference and move ahead accordingly.

One best decision you ever made?

Ans: Starting my journey as an entrepreneur and work under leaders and mentors who are morally and ethically right.

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

Ans: I do take opinions from people around me but I generally go with the gut feeling. The advice helps me see things from various perspectives but the final decision has to be the correct one, for which I rely on my instincts.

Whose advice do you seek when in a dilemma?

Ans: My mentors and my mother. My mother is my life coach and mentors help me see things clearly in the professional world.

What has been your biggest achievement?

Ans: I have just started my entrepreneurial journey so the idea of achievement is completely milestone-driven. Hence, after crossing many milestones or earning global recognition the sense of achievement may sink in.

One thing that you want to change in yourself?

Ans: Being friendly in nature I tend to form bonds with clients and vendors which sometimes becomes a hurdle in meeting deadlines. So I am still learning to draw the line between personal and professional relationships.

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

Ans: Planned execution is the key to every business Idea. If you don't have any plan or structure you will be busy but not productive. These lines by my mentor have kept me goal-driven so that I can count for something at the end of the day.
