1 The job: My job involves ensuring a great selection of fashion merchandise at Myntra to make our shoppers look good. Our core target audience is the youth in the 21-28 years age group which is one of the toughest segments. This makes me observe the Indian youth constantly. I keep shopping and observing international fashion trends and am always on the lookout for the latest in trends that connect with the youth. Fashion changes fast and that makes the job more exciting, challenging us to be a trendsetter, lead the pack and manage business profitably. I enjoy every opportunity to make a difference. I like to adhere to timelines and don’t feel good when we miss deadlines. I am privileged to have a great team of youngsters and I learn a lot from them. The atmosphere in the office is very friendly, open and transparent. Our business targets are challenging and that keeps us on our toes taking our thinking to the next level.
The only thing I hate is the long distances I have to travel each day amidst the Bangalore traffic..
2 The weekdays: As is my habit over the last few years, my day starts with checking the sales figures for the previous day’s along with a cup of strong South Indian filter coffee. I beat the traffic to the office, using the first hour to plan my day. I never miss a game of table tennis with colleagues after lunch. Typically my day ends by 6.30-7 pm.
3 The weekend: A couple of hours of lawn tennis is a must on weekends along with some games with my kids. I like reading on Kindle the downloads of the week. I catch up on a movie once a month and, once a while stir up a storm in the kitchen much to my wife’s annoyance. I love Carnatic music and listen to it all the time
4 The toys: An ardent Apple fan, I live in a universe of Apple devices.
I?m also an avid pen collector.
5 The logos: I prefer Nike for all sports related activities, Apple for computing, Lacoste for T-shirts and Levi’s for jeans.
