Can you provide a brief overview of your entrepreneurial journey and the business you're currently involved in?

How do you define success, and how has your daily routine contributed to your achievements?

What time do you usually wake up, and how do you start your day?

I don’t belong to the 5 am club, in fact I sleep about 9-10 hours every night and hence remain refreshed through the day. I start my day with chants, they help clear my mind and set the path forward for the entire day.

Do you follow any specific morning rituals or exercises to set a positive tone for the day?

How do you plan and organize your tasks for the day? Do you use any specific tools or apps for task management?

Planning is my favourite pastime (I’m a Virgo!). It’s what comes naturally to me. Evernote and slack are my go-tos. I love that Evernote auto syncs across devices and all data is current. Stacks help me keep track of all buckets.

Could you share your approach to prioritizing tasks and making to-do lists?

Can you describe your workspace setup? What elements are crucial for your productivity?

My desk, my pen and pad (despite digital tools), and my computer. My table is relatively clutter free, apart from these crucial elements. And art. Workspaces must have art. It soothes my soul.

Are there any specific tools, gadgets, or software you use to optimize your work environment?

How do you manage your time throughout the day? Are there any techniques you follow, such as time blocking or the Pomodoro technique?

I am super focussed. Once my tasks are listed for the day, I first focus on completing them. Only then would I make time for other things. As a woman, I’m also particular about closing shop at a certain time, so that I can be there for my child. That said, I’m always available on Saturday’s and Sundays for any extra or pending stuff that can’t be completed over the week.

Do you delegate tasks or outsource certain activities to focus on high-value tasks?

How do you handle emails and communication during the workday?

I handle emails by priority of 1. Urgent 2. Important 3. Can be done later

Are there any particular tools or platforms you use to stay connected with your team and professional network?

What role does physical exercise play in your daily routine? How do you incorporate it into your busy schedule?

For me, the day starts with a bit of exercise. I’m not super stressed on whether I made my steps or not, it’s just one aspect of my life. Also fitness for me encompasses everything - diet, hair and skin routine, etc

How do you ensure you're maintaining a healthy diet and staying hydrated during the day?

I have a jug of water that stays with me through the day. I keep sipping on water as my throat tends to get dry (coz we’re talking all the time!). Also green tea is what keeps me awake post the 4 pm drain!

Are there any supplements or medicines you include in your daily routine to support your overall well-being? If so, could you share some details about them?

Do you dedicate time to continuous learning or self-improvement? If so, how do you go about it?

A 100% yes! That is really the secret to my success honestly. Constantly upskill. I just finished a program at Stanford and glad I was able to do so. I have a very strong network, I’m in almost all entrepreneurship groups and forums and that’s where we get information on what courses to do.

Are there any specific books, podcasts, or resources you find particularly valuable?
