A day with Dikesh Malhotra

I am an absolute technology geek—well do I have a choice (chuckles)? The first thing I do as soon as I wake up is browse through the handy Flipboard app.

9AM

As my jam-packed schedule doesn’t always allow me to go to the gym, I indulge in some cardio at home. Off late, checking my weight is a priority.

10AM

After my workout sesh, I make sure to refuel and replenish with a healthy lunch. If there is ‘golbhedko achar’ on the plate, it’s bye bye spoon and fork; time to dig in with my fingers.

11AM

The first hour of my work-day starts with me checking and responding to my emails and getting briefed on work-related updates. This is also the time when I sip green tea.

2PM

I’m currently looking after IMS and Samsung Nepal, so I sit down for a daily meeting with the Head of Departments for a work review and to plan ahead.

5PM

Balancing my social and professional life is essential. After a busy day, I hang out with my friends at the Embassy Restaurant—I love the Thai food they serve there.

6PM

Most events or functions that I have to attend begin at this time. It provides a break from my daily grind and refreshes my mind.  Networking with people is a priority.  

8PM

Family bonding is an attribute that we’ve been cherishing ever since we were kids. We sit together, watch TV or chit-chat— a daily ritual that goes without fail!

10PM

I’m a huge fan of football. On Saturdays my friends and I head for a game of football. If I am not playing, I’m at home unwinding with a game of FIFA on my PS4.
