Professional/Career Questions 

Why did you join MPI and what do you love most about your experience with the organization?

I was looking to enhance my network and knowledge in the MICE industry and hence joined MPI. After joining, I was immediately welcomed by the board and its members during my first zoom meeting. I love the camaraderie and the altruistic nature of MPI.

How did you get your start in the industry?

I have been in the travel industry for 30 years now and have been fortunate to experience all aspects of this vibrant industry. From leisure travel, representing tourism boards, training, media relations, MICE, film shoots and even destination wedding planning. This is mainly because of my adventurous nature. I enjoy the big budgets and scale MICE offers which fuels my creativity. The euphoria of transforming a venue into a party place & seeing the mesmerized look on the delegates is addictive. The money ain't bad too!

 

What is the best career advice you've received?

Be the best at what you do. I have no qualms saying "NO", because I believe in the best interests of my clients.

 

What is the most memorable event you have planned or client experience you have had?

My very first event which was planned for the top executives of J & J in Rajasthan. They had a 2 days of business meetings during the day and we planned some amazing fun evenings for them. A sundowner on the dunes, elephant polo & a cultural evening with a village procession culminating in a 400 year old palace.

Do you have a favorite MPI event and if so, why?

It has to be the MEETS event in Atlantic City. Besides the fun element & business networking, the breakout sessions and speakers are very knowledgeable.

Personal/ Fun Questions: 

What is your favorite city to travel to and why?

I recently visited Marrakech and loved it. I was with a client doing inspections, so did not get much time free time, but I thoroughly enjoyed the city. The sights, smells, the bustling Medina and the red clay covered buildings, horse carriages creating their own symphonies, delicious food and the warm hospitality. I highly recommend it and can't wait to go back again later in the year. Some amazing Riad venues for events too.

What is your favorite book?

Who moved my cheese? by Spencer Johnson

If you were stranded on a desert island, what 3 items would you bring with you?

Food, wine & music

If you could meet any historical figure, who would you choose and why?

I would love to meet people like Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela & Mahatma Gandhi. They all came from humble backgrounds and made a huge impact.

 

If you could live anywhere on this planet and take everything that you love with you, where would you choose to live?

It would be my home city, Bombay (not Mumbai, but Bombay!)

Who would you like to be for a day?

POTUS! The first woman POTUS, even if it is just for a day!

What three words describe you best? 

Passionate, adaptable & creative

What is your all-time favorite movie?

Jerry Maguire

Describe your perfect day off?
Waking up fresh with quality sleep. Meeting my besties for lunch with some gin & tonic. Followed by a movie / play. Nice dinner with some good wine and music. Back to bed again!
