India Mortgage Guarantee Corporation CEO Mahesh Misra is a pro at planning. And this is not limited to his work schedules; Misra plans his flight hours just as wisely. In an interview with ET Panache, he talked about the things he plans on doing on a flight.

“On early-morning flights, I typically tend to catch up on lost hours of sleep and don’t even wake up for meals. During earthly hours, I invariably indulge in light reading. Long haul flights are reserved for binge watching movies. As a rule, I never work on my laptop during flights and hope the days of Wi-fi on domestic flights are a while away.”
