Nayan Raheja, Director, Raheja Developers, wears a business suit if he is at the office or at one of his sites.

"T-shirt and jeans if I am working from home," he says.

Video attire
"There are no hacks, I just prefer to have video calls on MS Teams or Zoom on the desktop or tablet or big screen. I use virtual background custom created for our company to highlight the latest achievements or awards."

"For a strategy meeting with the team and a pitch or networking call, I wear a business suit. While for drinks with friends over Zoom, I opt for t-shirts and jeans."


"One should always dress professionally in business life. If you won't, your employees won't either thereby giving a sub-excellent experience to your customers. A bit of formality with hospitality is always better in working life."

Clothes talk
"I am not into specific brands and my wardrobe would consist of cheap clothes bought from Goa shacks ranging to luxury branded wear from Italian brands."

"I do workout to maintain an excellent body and sharp mind and that by itself is the biggest brand according to me. However, I don't compromise when it comes to the latest design trends and comfortable fabrics. I do have a bit of a fetish for shoes however and sport a largish collection."

New buy
"I bought an authentic motorcycling leather jacket from Indian Motorcycles to pair with my bike."

"Since the lockdown, two of the weddings of my cousins have gotten postponed wherein I was looking forward to wearing ethnic wear. Also, since there were no Diwali festivities this year, I definitely missed wearing kurta pajamas or sherwanis. Hopefully, we shall tide over this crisis soon enough and safely."

Mask task
"When it comes to my mask, I use disposable N95 masks. Fresh ones for each outing."
