COLLEAGUE CONNECT Parvesh Mathur Country Manager, India
WHAT ARE YOU CURRENTLY READING/WATCHING? ANY RECOMMENDATIONS? Indian heritage and history– to appreciate the complexity and resilience of the people, socio-economic divide and norms, culture, food, language, and the continuous influence of its past and present-day India and the world. WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST EVER JOB, OR HAVE YOU HAD ANY UNUSUAL JOBS? My first job was with Pearson– I never thought I would last so long in publishing, but here I am. I took a sabbatical in my career to support my wife in her studies, and to help her to restart her career when our son was born; it was not a job, but a bonding and growth experience that will stay with me forever. IF YOU COULD CHOOSE THREE PEOPLE TO INVITE TO A DINNER PARTY, WHO WOULD YOU CHOOSE? Groucho Marx, Audrey Hepburn and Madhubala. Three people I would love to talk to for their wit and charm. WHAT WOULD YOUR MASTERMIND SPECIALIST SUBJECT BE?
