The chairman and managing director of GTL Infrastructure (a telecom infrastructure company and network services provider) Manoj Tirodkar is a complete gadget freak. From using a vacuum cleaner for cleaning his house to PlayStation 3, his life revolves around smart tools.
He uses a Nokia Communicator phone because of its wider display and the email feature, but thinks the software needs improvement. His notebook is a Sony Vaio and digicam is a Sony model as well. “I am fond of working on pictures and creating albums on my laptop,” he says. He has a 80GB iPod which when connected to JBL speakers works like a complete music system. While travelling, he uses Bose noise cancellation headphones.
To keep himself entertained when travelling by air, he also uses Archos, a compact DVD player. He prefers spending time watching movies or just relaxing on board rather than using in-flight e-mail. Some other gadgets in his tool kit are Electrolux vacuum cleaner, PlayStation 3, a music mixing system and Bang & Olufsen home theatre system. Inspite of having so many gadgets Mr Trikodar is very clear about which one is his favourite: the Sony Vaio laptop. Mr Tirodkar is net-savvy as well.

He receives around 70-100 emails on a working day and ensures that all are answered. His home is wi-fi enabled. Interior decoration also interests Mr Tirodkar.
He extensively visits home building websites besides surfing the net for gathering work related information. Some of the sites that have impressed him are office.com and kohler.com. On a tech savviness scale of 10, he wouldn’t shy away from giving himself eight or nine.
