NeoNiche boss travels with family to de-stress; applies lessons from holidays to business

Prateek N Kumar, MD and CEO, NeoNiche makes it a point to go trekking with his family at least twice a year.

The event management and experiential marketing company boss feels his last trip to the Himalayas in Darjeeling was quite a memorable one.

Talking about it to ET Panache, Kumar said, "We trekked from Bagdogra to Kalimpong to Darjeeling with my kids, who were just 5-years-old back then.


"Since my kids are really young I have to plan keeping in mind their strengths and weaknesses at all times," he added.

There have been many lessons from these trips that he applies to business.

"Right from planning which is the key and most-essential starting point for any task, to awareness about local conditions which is also crucial .

"Time management helps to effectively spend the day, and even an hour's delay or starting early can make a huge difference. Goal-setting is another concept that helps one understand the strengths and weaknesses of the team. The most-important task, however, is financial management that helps one adhere to and plan their budget," Kumar shared.

The NeoNiche boss really looks looks forward to spending time with his family.

"Travelling and exploring different places with my loved ones gives me time to teach and connect with my children. We discuss nature, culture, history and food," he concluded.
