Please meet Shyam Rao with Citi in Mumbai! Shyam and I went to dinner at the Westin Gurgaon. I learned about his work and his life outside of work, too. It was a really nice and interesting conversation, and I am very appreciative of his time. I put my own words during the interview into brackets, for clarity.
Hi, my name is Shyam Rao. I am from Mumbai, India, and I work for Citi in Mumbai.
I live in Mumbai in a place called Wadala. It's the central part of Mumbai, about eight kilometers away from where the airport is located.
I live in an apartment complex, which is a gated community called Dosti Acres. It's a huge complex with about 800 apartments. It has a gym, a swimming pool, a tennis court, a badminton court, a table tennis court---it has the works! Our home is a three-bedroom house with me, my wife, my son and my parents. It's a nice, cozy home!
I've been married for close to 13 years. I have an eight-year-old son who goes by the name Ayush. He is in third grade! My wife, Divya, is an IT engineer, and she works for the BNP Paribas group, the French bank.
[How did you meet?]
We met through our families.
