Brandmakerr Interior Solutions MD takes work-out breaks between office hours

Rahul Kapuria, MD of Brandmakerr Interior Solutions is working from home given the pandemic. He has set up a home office to work better. "I have a work desk facing some lovely plants and a couch so this helps create an office environment. No dressing up just a jeans and T-shirt which are normally my usual office clothes. The usual Zoom, Skype, Google helps but there is lack of face-to-face supervision," he says.

Me time
Drawing lines between professional and personal lives is crucial, employee morale, productivity, mental focus feels Kapuria.

"I used to take breaks to do pull ups and exercises as I have a pull up bar and dumbbell rack. I decided to work on new business generation and debtors collections. This helped because when we opened in May we had new clients and a good business log this was a huge morale booster. We focused on pending collections and debtors aggressively and could collect 80 per cent of our debtors. Ultimately financial discipline and new business with cost cutting helped us steer successfully," he shares.


Family space
Kapuria thinks family is very important. "Personally, during Covid it was skipping and exercising at home and loading videos on social media as going out was not possible. I have a pull up bar at home. I use it regularly. Long drives with family, just camping and eating packed food used to be safe outings. I am an avid runner so I am at the trail by 6.30 for my evening run for the past one month recently," he says.

Healthy lifestyle
Eating a balanced diet and aerobic, weights and supplements are how Kapuria keeps healthy.

"Yes cooking healthy balanced meals, watching a lot of news and Pakistani serials, and plyometric exercises, household chores and reading are some of the new things I did," he says.
