METRO Cash & Carry CEO Arvind Mediratta tunes in to Mohammad Rafi to relax after a long day

Arvind Mediratta is the CEO of METRO Cash & Carry, India and like to unwind by listening to Mohammad Rafi songs. He spends his free time indulging in Thai cuisine. Here are some of his favourite things:

Music
Listening to songs by Mohammad Rafi is a delight. I also like Eric Clapton and Bruce Springsteen.

Books
Marshal Goldsmith’s 'What Got You Here Won’t Get You There: How Successful People Become Even More Successful'. The book beautifully captures how nuances make all the difference in the corporate world.

Food
Junoon in New York and the Thai Pavilion in Mumbai and Gurgaon. I’m a fan of Thai food.

Movies
'Gladiator' — it is a mix of action, drama and historical fiction.

Hobbies
I love collecting artefacts from around the world. I found a rare rosewood dining table and coffer with a mother-of-pearl inlay work in Bangkok. I also have a rare collection of jade artefacts collected over 20 years — from various regions around Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.
