Everyday outfit…
“Loungewear has been my go-to outfit choice while I am working from the comfort of my home. They are not only comfortable but also smart and practical. I can conveniently attend Zoom calls with my team and manage my everyday work without fussing about my outfit.”
“If it is a strategy meeting with my team over Zoom, I’d opt for casual loungewear – cotton button-down shirts and linen pants. A pitch or networking call over Zoom would require that I wear a polo t-shirt or a semi-formal shirt, with trousers. If I’m having drinks with friends over a video call, you’ll find me in comfortable tees with my go-to pair of jeans.”

Rishi Kulkarni shares all the gadgets he uses to work well amidst the pandemic while at home.
Technology is now a necessary evil. What was once a tool for productivity has now become our only window to the world. Rishi Kulkarni, CEO and Co-Founder Revv is spending tons of time on Zoom, Whatsapp, and workplace chat. Home is now redesigned to accommodate workplace habits. We have got redundant internet connections and Wi-Fi repeaters all over the home. Initially, I felt this was a temporary phenomenon, but this is going to become a permanent change for all of us, he tells ET Panache.
In vogue
“The pandemic has shifted economic priorities. People are more conscious and are opting for ‘value for money’ products. Comfortable fashion has steadily sneaked its way into every man’s wardrobe and the pandemic has only accelerated that trend, making it more prominent. Athleisure hints, cosy textures and vibrant hues are some of the trends I foresee for Indian menswear.”
Dressing for the holidays
“Festive holiday parties are perfect for experimenting with accessories like cravats. For a New Year’s Eve party, I would recommend a deep-toned textured shacket (a shirt jacket hybrid) with a polo-neck and pleated trousers. If you’re attending a virtual wedding, opt for a minimally-textured ivory kurta.”
Levelling up There has been an evident spike in the screen time, thanks to zero human interaction and consecutive zoom meetings. But I have always loved exploring new technology and it’s an integral part of my business. So my relationship with tech hasn t really changed; I am as invested as I used to be.
Gadget guide I cannot live without my iPad Pro and my iPhone 12. Apple’s seamless integration makes life very simple across devices. The brand’s fundamentals, simplicity in operation and sophisticated design make it my go-to choice. Plus, I am a huge fan of Steve Jobs’ approach towards technology and human-centred design. I swear by my Apple Watch. My friends and I compete to achieve fitness goals, keeping us all motivated and committed. When it comes to noise cancelling, nothing beats bluetooth headphones with their noise cancellation feature have been a great investment.
