Shali Thilakan: Recently we came up with interesting surveys on the process of video conferencing (VC). Do you VC in your line of work and what do you think of it?
Rakesh Kumar: I think VCs have made our jobs simpler. We have our radio stations in seven cities and one can't afford to travel to different places for meetings. We set up video calls across stations and discuss our ideas, when we launch our campaigns or even for other information exchange. It saves a lot of time and energy, and the response is faster. I would any day connect through a VC over writing long emails and phone conversations.
ST: I agree. VCs help people in a big way and cut the trouble of travelling to different cities or countries. Interestingly, we came across this trend about VC, which shows that professionals make an effort to groom themselves, when participating in a VC meeting. Have you experienced this, or come across this phenomenon?
RK: That sounds interesting (laughs). Personally, I don't do that. I prefer sitting in casual wear than formals for a meeting, since I share a good rapport with other centres. However, I have noticed people dressing up in formals or stylish outfits, during a VC meeting with senior officials. At the end of the day, it does pay to look well-turned out, even on a VC meet.
ST: Would you consider using VC in your personal interactions?
RK: Though VCs make our life simpler for professional meetings, I don't think it will work great for personal interactions. I prefer meeting people face-to-face rather than seeing them on VCs, social networking sites or chatting on the internet for that matter. The emotional feel is present only when you meet someone. For me, it doesn't work in my personal life!
