How a bicycle desk helps this CEO stay active

Paul Dupuis, CEO, Randstad India, talks travelling again once restrictions are eased.Criss-crossing cities“Before the lockdown, I used to criss-cross all corners of the country, visiting one or two cities every week, in addition to five to six trips a year to our Amsterdam headquarters. So, once things get back to normal, I’m looking forward to travelling again.“I have been fortunate to see so much of this country, but I promised my wife I would take her to Udaipur and Ladakh. Internationally, we want to take a family trip across Europe to celebrate my two sons’ graduations from university and high school respectively.”Night out“When I first moved to Bengaluru in 2017, I was alone for the first few months. The Italian restaurant Toscano was like my second dining room. During that time, I must have tasted just about everything on the menu. The owners are great and the staff became like family. I can’t wait to go back.”A piece of Japan“My wife is from Japan, so we would travel to Singapore a couple of times a year to stock up on everything Japanese. There’s a huge store there that sells groceries, health and home products from Japan. Once the travel restrictions ease, we are looking forward to getting supplies and comfort food from our favourite shop.”Tech list“Fortunately, I was well-stocked with the latest devices and connectivity even before WFH started. Switching to an iPad, however, has opened up a whole suite of extremely helpful tools. I also picked up the guitar after more than 20 years; it’s amazing how the chords come back.”Fitness first“I’m big on fitness and miss my gym and my trainer. It’s difficult to find the same level of variety and intensity when you’re training alone.“I start my day with a long, brisk walk, aiming for 10,000 steps before breakfast. Evenings are for high-intensity bodyweight workouts. I have a few dumbbells, exercise bands and a medicine ball at home. I also have my ultimate multi-tasking weapon, a work-a-cycle — a bicycle desk that helps me stay active throughout the day.”77058773
