WFH Diaries featuring Shamsuddin Jasani reveals that the industry leader misses working from office but also enjoys spending time in the kitchen cooking something or the other.

Shamsuddin Jasani, Group MD, Isobar South Asia likes to describe working from home as a very unique experience for him. With 20 years of rigorous work, going to office has been a big part of his life. “I have hardly taken breaks. I am missing it”, he exclaims. Jasani’s WFH Diaries consists of cooking a little bit while managing work and family.  

He thinks the one challenge that works from home brings for couples especially, is "taking note of the number of breaks amidst work to take care of our son with both trying to make sure that we are covering for each other."

“Also it's a lot of fun spending so much time as a family together. A typical day is getting up in the morning and all of us starting with a cup of tea. I have also started doing intermittent fasting because what happens is when you are at home you tend to gain weight as you end up eating always. So I fast for about 17 hours a day,” he shares.
