The Glitch CEO used the lockdown to focus on her mental health

Travel is what Pooja Jauhari, CEO, The Glitch misses the most amidst the pandemic. "I am waiting to go back to exploring new places, culture, food. One of the biggest discoveries this year has been travel within India. There is so much to see in our country, which we often ignore. We have most often picked an international destination to travel every year. But going forward I want to travel a lot more in India too. So for solo, I would go to Kerala, and group I would go to Gulmarg," she says.

Going to a spa is also something she misses. "In Bombay most restaurants have opened up. So as a foodie, I’m happy again. I have moved to shopping online, entirely. Before the lockdown I wish I had more athleisure outfits. Something we needed as we continue to work from home. This pandemic has also taught me that I don’t need to shop the amount I do. So taking that forward for sure," she says.

Screen, headphones, glasses, basically an entire workstation is what Jauhari has added. "We already had a home office, but invested in one more since my husband and I are both working from home. I’m guilty of changing my entire set of cooking equipment. So a lot of cooking happened the past year," she says.


"I run and do yoga. I’m an outdoorsy person. I’ve concentrated on building my mental strength. That’s been the biggest focus and will continue to be as I move forward. I love designing homes, I built my mom’s home from scratch. The breaking down and building of walls gave me a lot of peace. I do a lot of meditation. Focusing on my mental health has been the biggest gift I’ve given myself," she ends.
