1 I spend half my days in Bengaluru and the other half at the estate in Sakleshpur, so my exercise regime is decided by where I am. In Bengaluru, I visit the gym or go swimming, but at the estate I go for brisk walks around the plantation. This helps me check on the plantation and get my exercise!

2 My digital detox is at the estate (mainly because of lack of connectivity). But in the city, too, I refrain from using my phone or laptop before and after office hours. The extra family-and-friends time is a great de-stresser.

3 I am quite the foodie, but believe in eating clean. We grow most of our food organically on our farm and estate, right from fruit to rice to vegetables.

4 I hydrate well throughout the day and make sure I have a wellbalanced diet, avoiding junk food. Growing up in coffee estates, I am quite hooked on black coffees.

5 I am into adventure sports, so I go bungee jumping, sky diving, deep sea diving, white water rafting, skiing, trekking, parasailing. Also, quite a bit off-roading as the terrains are easily accessible to me at the estate.
