Shouvik talks and walks us through a day in his life…
“My day starts at 7am and I’m at the office by 8am making sure I’m the first one to enter,” he says genially. “The first thing I do is lay out plans for the day and share it with my team. Up next I run through my emails and settle down with a steaming cuppa tea.
“Later in the day is when I explore business opportunities and around midday is when we have another short team meeting. The second half of the day is when I travel to our processing unit. That’s where I meet with my partners and the rest of our team.”
