DUE TO THE demanding nature of their roles and responsibilities, leaders frequently find it challenging to establish boundaries between their personal and professional lives. But that’s not the case with Daisy Chittilapilly, President of Cisco India & SAARC. She makes travel itineraries to occupy her in her free time, and she makes it a point to go on at least one long vacation every year. “It’s like a hobby of mine to plan and put together itineraries. And when the time is right, I pick that up and go to that place. People do multiple things in their free time; I look at countries I would like to visit and build itineraries!” she says.
Having visited a number of countries, Chittilapilly adores many destinations, but one country she absolutely loves is Peru— she spent a few weeks exploring it. “It’s an amazingly scenic, beautiful place, and the people there are very warm. The food is fantastic.… [And] the culinary experience, unmatched,” says Chittilapilly. While she covered many locations across the country, it was the trek to Machu Picchu that made her experience memorable.
