Kishore Kumar's evergreen melodies help Bizongo CEO relax and focus

Aniket Deb, Co-Founder and CEO, Bizongo, starts the day with hot water accompanied with squeezed lemons and a dollop of honey.

"I prefer to intake a lot of fruits and juices during the day. That keeps me well hydrated. My wife Hema and I like to take evening strolls regularly, the breezy weather in Mumbai keeps our mind and body fresh," he says.

Deb is not really a fitness freak but I enjoy my evening walks generally around 7:30 pm. "My walks generally help me cleanse myself and clear my thoughts. For breakfast, I generally prefer boiled eggs and some light carbs. Lunch consists of rice or roti with lentils and a bowl of veggies. Dinner generally is rich in protein. I tend to eat early by around 8 pm to give the food enough time to be digested before I go to bed," he says.


Mind map
Deb is a die-hard fan of Kishore Kumar’s evergreen melodies. "So I spend most of my evenings listening to the maestro on YouTube. It relaxes me completely and allows me to focus on the task at hand. I prefer to eat a lot of dry fruits including walnuts, apricots, almonds especially during the morning. According to popular culture these foods are rich in nutrients and help in sharpening the mind," he says.

Soul soup
Deb's wife loves to play the Hanuman Chalisa or the Gayatri Mantra on a loop. "I tend to close my eyes and listen carefully to the chants. This helps me channelise my energies positively and allows me to feel thoroughly relaxed," he ends.
