One of Mukund’s most cherished projects is the rollout of the Bill Discounting product which was released after extensive market research and coordination with critical departments such as credit, sales, operations, and compliance for a comprehensive and effective solution. The chance to design customer-centric solutions that connect with the company’s vision of driving impact and value creation is what he loves most about his work at Kinara.
He enjoys collaborating with his team of subject matter experts and solution specialists, who work together to directly impact the customer experience and improve overall service offerings. This component of his job is what motivates Mukund and inspires his enthusiasm for it.
Mukund loves to travel and has gone on a variety of trips to various destinations, both in India and abroad. His favourite travel experience remains his month long Ladakh trip with his friends. They rode their motorcycles across the rough terrain on the stunning destination, and the joy and camaraderie he shared with his friends during that trip, as well as the challenges and thrill they experienced are incomparable.
He has had his share of relaxed trips and ones that involve exploring new places, but Ladakh, with its strange beauty and the sheer excitement of taking on new challenges with his friends will remain with Mukund all his life.
