Theatre as your first love…
My love for theatre began when I was still studying at St. Columba’s in Delhi. It was 1962 and Doordarshan had just made its foray into homes in Delhi. One of our family friends was a Director with the channel and he asked my parents if I would act in a TV play. I can’t remember the name of the play but I do remember that I received the princely sum of Rs.15 for my efforts. It was a big moment for me and I even framed the cheque! What began as a mild flirtation with the spotlight soon turned into a full blown affair once I joined St. Stephen’s College.
Once an Artist remains an artist…
A steadily increasing roster of professional commitments has meant precious little time for theatre in the intervening years. Yet, I have managed to keep my love for the art alive in one form or the other. After I joined Mahindra in 2004, I acted in a play for CII, along with Arun Nanda who is the Chairman of Mahindra Holidays & Resorts India Ltd. & Chairman, Mahindra Lifespace Developers Ltd.
Life beyond Mahindra
An avid book lover, I do practice yoga and reiki regularly and have also explored past-life experiences and firewalking.[/box]
We are part of the GRI, a triple bottom-line movement which means we are not only committed to profit but also to people and the planet.
Skill Development
We have been working on various educational/skill programs independently and in collaboration with the government. To unleash human potential & keep the retention ratio high, it is very important to keep each and every person in a team aligned. This alignment is possible only when each and every person is aware of the common purpose – the dream. This helps them pass through various ups and downs without losing the sense of purpose commitment.
