Annotate your professional background and experience and what is the inspiration factor that made you venture into this spectrum.
I have entered the logistics industry in 1990 but I started my professional journey in 1987 with a private manufacturing firm. I worked there for three years and learned thepracticality of market functionalities. That's how I started my career, and I've been in the logistics industry for nearly 30 years.

Elucidate the set of challenges that you’ve faced in your journey.
Challenges are part of my leadership journey regardless of their magnitude. There are exceptional situations like the pandemic which have affected our operations on a very hazardous note. Our team and I were left with no clue for some time as the entire globe was on standstill. That is one of the major and abrupt challenges that I have faced in the course of my carrier. There is a chain of problems when we deal with the global market. Especially, while dealing with the foreign board of directors, we face constant challenges. These problems majorly arise, when they try to see India from their perspective and they try to measure the market with their understanding and predefined parameters, which is practically impossible. Understanding the Indian market from a global perspective and conveying them to the board of directors has been challenging for me so far.
How do you maintain the perfect balance between your personal and professional life?
Discipline is the key factor to maintain my personal and professional journey. It is very easy to say but it is very laborious to follow it on daily basis. The very concept of discipline has made me more productive than before. At one point I decided to follow the time strictly and imbibe discipline in every activity that I take. Gradually I tend to encounter results that enhanced my confidence level. Every day I enter the office before 8 am, compartmentalize my timings and work on various projects. Sharp 4 pm I cut off my work and spend quality time with my family and friends. That’s how I balance my personal and professional life.
