How Godrej's Shashank Sinha soaks in the cities

AS PRESIDENT, international business, Godrej Consumer Products, Shashank Sinha spends his year across four continents: South America, Europe, Africa, and Asia. Which means his air miles—spread across a variety of airlines—run into millions. He is on the road 150 days of the year, and splits his time in India between home in Gurgaon and office in Mumbai. “I have a rather long commute from home to office and I have to use a plane,” says Sinha. On overseas trips he’s always on the lookout for a taste of the local food and music, which he believes is the best way to experience any new culture.
