Without further ado here it goes…
Your mantra for life
“In a world where you can be anything, be kind!”
A book you are currently reading or plan to read
I’m currently reading “Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long & Happy Life”, and I’m finding it incredibly interesting and insightful! The book offers a unique perspective on well-being and happiness & encapsulates the essence of finding purpose & joy in everyday life.
Your fitness mantra
In the midst of our hectic schedules, daily gym sessions or home workouts isn’t always realistic (for me). However, my nutritionist introduced me to a simple yet transformative fitness mantra where she asked me to aim for 7K to 10K steps every day. This small change has made a significant impact on my life. Doing these steps not only keeps me active but also makes me feel refreshed. It’s like hitting the reset button in the middle of a hectic day and gives my mind a much-needed break, allowing me to clear my thoughts and regain focus.
Walking daily has been a game changer for me! I honestly feel it’s not about intense workouts but about finding sustainable ways to stay active while still prioritizing your health. And the best part? It’s something I can easily integrate into my day, no matter how hectic things get.
Your comfort food
Pav Bhaji – it’s my ultimate comfort food!
A quote or philosophy that keeps you going when the chips are down
“Everything happens for a reason.” While it may be difficult to see the purpose behind every setback or disappointment, this philosophy encourages me to trust in the greater plan of the Universe. Sometimes, challenges arise to teach us valuable lessons or redirect us onto a different path. Other times, they provide opportunities for personal growth and self-discovery. By embracing this perspective, we can find comfort and reassurance in knowing that there is a purpose behind every experience, even if it may not be immediately clear. It encourages me to have faith in the journey of life and to trust that everything unfolds as it should!
Your guilty pleasure
When I really want to unwind and escape reality, nothing beats a good binge-watch session of reality TV shows. It’s my guilty pleasure that lets me switch off for a while and just enjoy some mindless entertainment.
The last time you tried something new
Attended my very first concert – Ed Sheeran’s Mathematics Tour! The experience was beautiful, surrounded by fellow fans, singing along to every song – it was truly magical!
A life lesson you learned the hard way
I’ve had moments where I’ve looked back and wished I’d spent more time with the people I love. Understanding the importance of having a good balance between work and personal life has been challenging, but it’s what really changed things for me. It’s about finding that sweet spot where both parts of life feel fulfilling!
What gets you excited about life?
New experiences with friends & family, celebrating milestones, traveling to places I’ve never been before and so much more – the list is endless!
What’s on top of your bucket list?
Witnessing the Northern lights in Iceland and indulging in a luxurious self-care pampering session in Korea
If you could give one piece of advice to your younger self, what would it be?
Stop worrying too much & let go of the need to control, everything will work out eventually if you keep doing your best and your heart is in the right place. Take time out for yourself, your family & your friends. It’s important to invest in your personal relationships as much as investing in your work.
One thing you would most like to change about the world
There are a lot of challenges around the world, and it’s difficult to pick one issue that I would resolve or change. However, if there’s one thing I would want to change in us, as humans, is for all of us to lead our lives with kindness, empathy and compassion – in every interaction & decision we make. A world where these values would drive us to lend a helping hand to those in need, to lift each other up; where our differences are celebrated, not feared, where diversity is seen as a strength, not a weakness.
A world where instead of turning a blind eye, we come together as a global community to tackle the big challenges facing humanity. Whether it’s poverty, social injustice or environmental challenges – it’s all dealt with together actively instead of being considered as distant problems.
An activity that keeps you motivated and charged during tough times
Going for walks while listening to music has turned out to be an activity that’s been extremely helpful in tough situations and otherwise. It helps put my thoughts together, calmly evaluate things and doesn’t hurt that it’s a good habit to have!
What lifts your spirits when life gets you down?
Spending time with my loved ones – nothing lifts you up more than the people who truly love you, and I’m blessed with an entire army that I can rely on
Your go-to stress buster
It’s quite funny honestly but watching baby videos is my ultimate stress buster – I have an entire collection on IG dedicated to baby videos

Tribes and Omnicom Media win Gold for HSBC Living Hexagon at ET Awards
Kinetic OOH installation turns HSBC’s iconic logo into a living landmark
MUMBAI: Tribes Communication and Omnicom Media have secured a Gold win at the ET Design & Creativity Awards for their innovative out-of-home installation, The Living Hexagon, created for HSBC.
Awarded in the Most Creative Traditional OOH category, the project reimagines one of the world’s most recognisable banking symbols into a dynamic, ever-evolving structure. Designed for HSBC’s International Financial Services Centre presence, the installation was conceived to do more than simply grab attention. It aimed to seamlessly blend into the fast-growing ecosystem of GIFT City.
At the heart of the idea is HSBC’s iconic hexagon, typically associated with precision and consistency. Tribes transformed this static identity into a kinetic structure that responds to natural elements such as wind and light, creating a sense of continuous motion. The result is a visual experience that shifts throughout the day, echoing themes of adaptability and momentum.
Constructed using modular triangular units arranged along a precise geometric axis, the installation moves in synchrony, giving the illusion of a fluid, living form. While the structure evolves with its surroundings, it retains the unmistakable identity of the HSBC brand, striking a balance between innovation and familiarity.
Strategically placed at a key entry point into GIFT City, the installation functions as both a landmark and a statement. It reflects the pace and dynamism of global finance while embedding the brand into the city’s architectural narrative.
With this win, Tribes Communication and Omnicom Media underline the growing role of experiential and design-led thinking in traditional media, proving that even the most established brand assets can find new life when reimagined with creativity and context.
