Keep calm and swim: Boardroom lessons from the pool for Xolo's Sunil Raina

Here’s a boss who keeps his head above water before diving into his job as the business head of Xolo.

Sunil Raina spends at least an hour swimming each morning. And if you thought it’s just exercise, he wouldn’t agree – there are boardroom lessons Raina takes back. “Swimming has really helped me to apply strength, flexibility and agility to my professional life. It has taught me how to balance, focus and calm my mind,” he tells ETPanache.

Any swimmer worth his salt knows that staying calm is the biggest hack in water, again a trait that Raina says applies in business too. “There are key moments in business when you need to make difficult decisions which need you to remain calm.”.
