Q:ÊWhat does a day at work consist of for you?

A:ÊI am a firm believer in setting my priorities right every day, hence my day starts with drafting out a plan for the day and setting priorities. Without a plan, there is usually so much going on that you tend to get sucked into tons of random things. I typically focus on the four most important aspects to RateGain: team, strategy, product, and growth, and then list out the things that need to be accomplished in each area. This helps me make sure that I touch all of the major aspects of myÊbusinessÊand do not let anything slide.

Q:ÊWhat is the best part of your job?

A:ÊTwo things that I love the most are:

  1. the spirited discussions with my team
  2. focus on innovation to wow our clients

The time spent in engrossing and stimulating discussions with our young and talented team to challenge concepts, innovate ideas, help our clients succeed, enable employee growth etc is very satisfying and rewarding. I also equally love interacting with clients from different boundaries, seeing them grow using our solutions; it brings me absolute joy to see our customers appreciate and benefit from our innovative solutions. At RateGain, innovation is at the foundation of everything that we do for our clients and our focus as a company to achieve this is what drives me every day.

Q:ÊDo you have anyone you have looked up to?

A:ÊRahul Bhatia, Owner, Indigo Airlines, is someone I really look up to.

Q:ÊDo you have any nice traditions at your office?

A:ÊWe make sure that we celebrate success of all sizes and nature. Every little win takes us closer to our goal as accompany and as a tradition, we ensure we take a few moments to recognize & relish these milestones. Another tradition specific to RateGain is our infamous pizza party (read penalty) when deadlines are missed without a justified reason.

Q:ÊHow long have you been a member of HSMAI?

A:ÊWe have been associated with HSMAI since 2011.

Q:ÊWhat do you think is the best thing about HSMAI?

A:ÊHSMAI is one of the most revered hospitality knowledge centres. I like the fact that it brings in the unbiased perspective of the industry experts. It provides a platform to the industry to hobnob and discuss thought leadership, pain points, solutions, innovative ideas and the way ahead.

Q:ÊAre there any activities or projects you think HSMAI should start up?

A:ÊHospitality is a vast sector, I feel, HSMAI is well associated with all the big chains and enterprise brands. However, the not so organized chunks, like independent hotels and retail businesses can also be benefitted largely with HSMAI. Swift Technology adoption can help all of this larger group to keep up the space with the intense competitive market. That being said, an HSMAI arm for Independent hotels could be a good idea to explore.

Q:ÊDescribe your perfect weekend.

A:ÊGood workout session in the morning, followed by a good grub with family, followed by a trip to somewhere where my kids can unwind.Ê Maybe grab a drink or two with my friends later in the night.

Q:ÊIf you were trapped on a desert island, what would you take with you, if you could choose one thing?

A:ÊFew Pints of beers, maybe.

Q:ÊWhat is the title of the book about your life?

A:ÊMy wife Megha is an author; I will let her decide that for me.

Q:ÊWhat is your next travel destination?

A:ÊHas to be Berlin, ITB calling.

Q:ÊDo you have any special hobbies?

A:ÊRunning, socializing with likeminded people and reading books. Not to forget my passion for adventure sports. Some of the regular ones are scuba diving, sky diving and skiing.
