Send us Fan MailForum 500 member Manoj Gursahani (Mumbai) started India's first e-commerce travel portal, the beginning of a long career in which a blend of technology with entrepreneurial vision has been the hallmark. Chair of Tiger 21 in his home city, Manoj is an established mentor and coach of high networth leaders, and as co-chairman of the India Business Group, he strengthens India's role in internationa trade and partnerships. An established speaker, author and currently working with Vira Healthcare on AI-led health diagnostics, Manoj is also a dedicated father. This is a very enjoyable and relaxed conversation with a high achiever! However, Manoj is honest about the fact it took an intentional step to achieve this balance. "Personally, for my side, it was tough for me to be vulnerable. It was very tough. When my daughters were growing up, I did not give them enough time. And I was busy working and largely focusing only on the work aspect. And then I realized what I've been missing out on. I started ten years back deciding that, listen, we need to stop and smell the roses kind of thing... And then it was initially very tough to adapt that. When I'm working, I try to work with less distractions. And in today's world of constant pinging, I also try during the weekend to sometimes put my phone on airplane mode."This episode was edited by Vanessa Heaney.Music by Alex Vickers
