11: Sanjeev Mantri on The Runner's Dilemma (Part 2/5 )

In this episode of TalkCXOLife, we have with us the swift, agile and moderately risk-averse (well, he's an insurer!) Sanjeev Mantri, Executive Director, ICICI Lombard in conversation with Sunayana Nair. Sanjeev is a seasoned banker, spearheading the marketing initiatives of the retail division at the largest private general insurance company and is credited with the very many innovative solutions and strategies introduced especially in the SME and also the rural banking markets over his two-decade-plus experience in the BFSI sector and the ICICI group. He is equally known for his obsessive penchant for running and playing tennis, in spite of the very many injuries that consistently plague this sports freak who loves to be on the go. An interesting point which stayed with us was when Sanjeev revealed how he bettered his time at half marathons when he targeted the full marathon and how that taught him that setting a substantially higher benchmark can often help one achieve the next step faster if that next/immediate step/goal eludes you!  Now, let’s sprint away!
