Age gap no bar for technology: Arvind Lifestyle's J. Suresh

For the average person, who does not qualify as a tech nerd, it can often be difficult to get a grip on the constantly changing development in technology

However, J Suresh, MD and CEO, Arvind Lifestyle, has observed that two types of age groups don’t let new gadgets intimidate them. “I’ve seen that kids below five and senior citizens above 70 are smart with adapting to technology. Give them a phone and they will explore it completely,” says Suresh with a laugh.

Speaking on the sidelines of a smart shirt’s launch, Suresh said that even though he wouldn’t consider himself extremely tech savvy, he is yet to go on a ‘phone detox’. “I’m glued to my phone. Every time I wake up in the middle of the night, I end up responding to a few emails. That works best in situations when the mail is from companies in the US, saving a lot of time.”
