Working from home has been a bliss for Dr Sunita Gandhi, Founder, Global Classroom Private Limited (GCPL) and Global Education and Training Institute (GETI) so far.
"I’ve been more productive, more accessible, and more connected with my team. Even a client meeting or an interview is now just a click away. My physical office has now turned into a permanent meeting link that is known by all my colleagues. They can reach out to me as and when required through that link. Unlike earlier when meetings were cumbersome and consumed a lot of time spent in travelling, they are more efficient, focussed and constructive now. I mostly use Zoom and Google meet to connect with my team. My home itself is an office space for me right now. I enjoy the freedom of being anywhere and keep working. I often dress up for my calls and meetings, and I also dress up for my interviews. It feels good to get into that formal attire occasionally," she told ET Panache.
Gandhi feels her personal and professional life have been merged amidst this pandemic. "As far as my daily routine is concerned, it usually starts at 9 in the morning and I’m up till 12 or 1 in the night. During the day, I’m either occupied with my meetings or my children as I ensure they are getting my attention. I look after my son here and have regular communication with my daughter also. I keep juggling between looking after them or my elderly parents when I’m not working," she said.
The lockdown and the looming fear of the global pandemic has made all very conscious about inner and outer health.
"I take walks in the morning and the evening. I also enjoy few minutes of early sunrise to gain energy for the day. I also do a mix of yoga and other exercises to keep my body active. At home, we follow a strict regimen when it comes to eating habits. I do my fair share of diets and detoxification as and when possible," Gandhi said.
Thanks to this time that she got with her son, Gandhi has developed a new routine of playing board games with him. "We play Chinese checkers and Mastermind. I must say, I enjoy the time I get to spend with him more than these games," the 59-year-old from Lucknow ended.
