Nikhil Kamath, the boss who has four computers set up on his desk

“Technology to me is very valuable. I’d get anxious without the Internet. Having said that, although I use
technology practically all day, I’d describe my relationship with it as moderate. “At work, I typically have four
computers set up on my desk – one is a Bloomberg terminal, one is a chat box that’s always open to coordinate with
my team, one is reserved for media stuff and the last is to look at charts.”
Eye On Design
“I personally like Samsung phones because I feel it is one company that’s going a little beyond the others when it comes to experimenting with form. Just look at how the Samsung Flip or the Samsung Fold is designed.
“I also prefer Android over the iOS because it’s more open-ended. You have options and you don’t have to
pay for everything.”
Apps Of Choice
“Renpho is one app more people should try. It’s connected to a body scale that tracks multiple health metrics such as body fat, bone mass, muscle mass, your metabolic age and I’ve found it to be very helpful. Some of our body functions change periodically; more people should be tracking them regularly. Only when you track something, can
you know how to change or improve it.”
AI And The Workplace
“I’ve used AI tools quite a bit and have found them very helpful, but I don’t think they’re as earth shattering
as people make them out to be, especially in their current form. “When it comes to whether employees should be allowed to use them at the workplace, I believe that any tool that can speed up productivity should be encouraged.”
