Yoga & a to-do list help Realme India boss stay productive

Madhav Sheth, CEO – Realme India and Europe starts his day by practicing meditation and yoga. "It allows me to have a much more peaceful start to the day with a laser-minded focus. We have all settled into the WFH schedules in this one year, and so have I," he says.Setting his to-do list for the day makes work from home easier. It indicates what to do, when to do and when to call it a day and maintain work-life balance. Sheth checks in with various teams to assess the situation. Fitness track"Sometimes, back-to-back work and meetings fatigue me, so I make sure to take breaks to rest, participate in team-building events, and exercise regularly to remain mentally fit. I am quite old-school by nature, but I love technology and I am quite enthusiastic about exploring different apps through the lens of the users. Nothing compares to working next to someone in an office, but joining a video conference with my team members via Zoom call during the day helps to bridge the gap," he says.It's important to have a dedicated workspace in order to maintain work efficiency and maintain a healthy work-life balance. As a result, Sheth has a dedicated workspace that he used only for work"I like being comfortable while I work, so my work-from-home style mostly includes pairing up a realme T-shirt with a pair of jeans or shorts," he says.Working from home was initially difficult due to different kinds of distractions at home, but with self-discipline and a dedicated workspace, Sheth was able to manage and overcome these obstacles."One of the most important elements for a smooth flow of work is effective communication, and the lack of face-to-face communication, especially right before launch, was another challenge. As a result, my first step towards establishing effective communication was to follow various communication platforms such as Microsoft Teams and Zoom for conducting regular meetings," he says.Daily driveSheth wakes up early in the morning. I get up at 5 am, which gives him enough energy to get through the day. "I strive to create a positive atmosphere around me and at work; this not only helps to create a positive work environment but also motivates me to work on my projects with a renewed sense of intent and enthusiasm. I set targets for the day after completing the first part of my morning routine. Additionally, I make a to-do list of regular activities. Since most of my time is spent in the office, spending some quality time with my kids in the morning is a priority," he says.Yoga and meditation are regular practices for Sheth and these daily exercises infuse a feeling of bliss and calmness in him. "I have been regularly practicing yoga and meditation, and have been focusing on strengthening my core muscles. I have adopted certain forms of yoga during this period," he says.Sheth used to play the guitar during his college days and wished to sing for a band. "During the lockdown, I tried a few musical notes and spent some time on them. Having said that, what truly fascinates me is technology, its versatile application in products, and how they simplify and elevate everyday life," he says.He loves to wash his cars sometimes. "It’s my way of unwinding through a leisurely activity," Sheth ends.
