Nothing beats a two-week vacation in South Africa: Bata's Rajeev Gopalakrishnan

Rajeev Gopalakrishnan, GMD, South Asia, Bata, loves nothing more than a vacation in South Africa and tucking into fish in Thailand.

Book

My favourite is two states by Chetan Bhagat.

Holiday spot

South Africa — nothing beats a relaxed two-week vacation there. So much to do and see.

Movie

I love 'Silsila' because of the legendary stars, songs and the way the script builds up the emotions. It is a great film.

Clothes

I wear a lot of Massimo Dutti. Their clothes are comfortable and trendy.

Restaurant

Sabai Jai in Thailand. You must try their 'pla kapong neung manao', a steamed sea bass with lime and chilly.

Music

For me, it has to be old Hindi classics. I find them melodious.

Phone

I use the iphone 6 because it is user-friendly. I have a lot of e-commerce apps on my phone.
