Q. Why was the assignment so challenging?
Besides the complexity of setting up a secure network within the customer
premises, a major challenge was the work culture and language barriers of the
country, the project also required coordination across the countries, and lest
I forget those strict timelines.
Q. Night outs at office?
May be 1 or 2 days in a week. With data mobility devices available, I am
able to take care work while on the move.
Q. Weekends spent in office?
Weekends are for family, I try to spend as much time I can with them.
Planning of activities during the week is critical, so that my deliverables are
met. Work-life balance is vital, and I try to encourage this concept in my team
as well.
Q. You wish you had time for?
I would love to go for trekking on mountains, learn swimming and do some
more reading.
