What does a typical day look like for you as a GCC leader — honestly?
Optimising team members in India to align with strategy and culture, while actively talking about and promoting the usage of AI code assistants.
How do you unwind after a tough week?
What is unwind? 🙂
On a serious note, Saturdays are game days with friends, and Sundays are reserved for long, guilt-free sleep-ins.
What’s the one skill every GCC leader must have today?
Practical, hands-on exposure to AI.
Do you have any quirky or unconventional leadership habits?
I personally give a company and product overview to every new joiner.
How do you personally spot high-potential talent in a GCC?
Through meetups and developer community connects.
What’s the worst piece of leadership advice you’ve ever received?
“Keep a distance between yourself and engineers; you are very high up in the hierarchy.”
Do you have a secret productivity hack that actually works for you?
No secret. Just hard work.
Share one fun or surprising fact about you that your team may not know.
I do a lot of leisure travel on my motorbike.
What’s one big lesson the GCC ecosystem has taught you?
A GCC creates real value only when it’s treated as a business and innovation hub, not as a cost center.
What advice would you give to future GCC leaders just starting out?
Be less administrative and more business-oriented to create long-term value.
And patience is always a good friend to have.
