*Transalation of the interview in English

Major factors that have contributed to your professional success.Good behavior, hard work, integrity, ability to delegate and take decisions and above all to set an example to your team.

Major lessons you have learnt in your professional life

Do not ask your team member to do something which you yourself wouldn’t do .If you want others to follow you, earn their respect first.

3. How do you inspire your colleagues & subordinates? How do you delegate work?

Tell me and I may forget. Show me and I may remember. Involve me and I will understand. --Chinese Saying
Involve your team in all major goals of your company. This will foster a sense of belonging to a team and avoid boredom.

When you delegate a work do it wholeheartedly .Trust his or her judgement and forgive genuine failures as otherwise it will kill his or her initiative. Micromanagement will never help you or your team and it will only end up in destroying your team member’s morale and motivation.

How do you manage your time most effectively? How do you relax and keep your mind & body fit.


I start out with planning my time requirements. Then I attempt to manage my time and try to cut back unproductive demands on my time. All my appointments are recorded in Microsoft outlook tasks so that I do not forget appointments and can keep track of my schedules.

All my free time is spend with my family .This relaxes me and I go for a walk whenever time permits.


Any major crisis you faced and how did you manage it successfully.

Although my company has not gone through any major crises I remember back in 2000 when there was a software boom and when the bubble burst I managed the risk management team and we did not face any bad debt problem which severely affected our industry then

When a crisis comes it is always better to do your best till the final outcome – good or bad.

6. If you love what you are doing and your work interests you then you are on the road to a successful career.
