Here are some key takeaways from this exclusive interview:

  • Try and seize the opportunities in front of you and give your best shot, always.
  • Even at the C-level, you still need to go down to the field to deliver your outcomes. And you can only do that through your people.

  • Network with different mix of people by being your best self. Get yourself in an ecosystem where you’ll be able to influence effectively.
  • Without vision, execution would not happen. Communicate your vision and strategy, simply but clearly, to your people.
  • There is no lifestyle-work balance. You just commit to what you say you would do and make it happen. Do more with less.
