For Mohit Anand, country manager, Microsoft Entertainment and Devices Division, being mad about console games and playing the Xbox 360 earns him his bread and butter. He can discuss the latest Xbox title with the same ease as his strategy to get the Xbox 360 to the fore in the Indian gaming scenario. |
How many gadgets do you carry? |

On a normal day, you will find at least five gadgets tucked in my bag. I carry an iRiver MP3 player, a Bluetooth presenter mouse, my mobile phone and lastly, a Samsung DigiCam. |
|
Your most favourite gadget to date. |
|
Xbox 360 wins hands down because it is more than a gaming machine. It is the focal point of my total digital entertainment. The best part is that I can hook my media centre PC and all other multimedia applications with it. |
|
An application that you would say is a lifesaver for executives. |
|
An application that we all have on a Windows mobile, called ActionSync, helps activate any information on my phone, I'd say it is a must for all those who have a hectic work schedule. |
|
What is the next gadget on your must-buy list? |
|
Microsoft's Zune which can connect to an Xbox 360, lending me the ability to stream music, videos, and pictures via USB. |
|
If you could, what kind of dream machine would you build? |
|
Well, frankly I haven't had the time to think about it. |
|
Which website do you frequent the most and why? |
|
I would say the Xbox 360 India forum, which is an official forum run by Microsoft for people to share their game-play and Xbox 360 experiences. |
|
Have you ever hacked a machine? |
|
As I do not believe in hacking, there is no question of me hacking another machine. |
|
What has been your biggest tech disaster to date? |
|
It was quite some time back. As a 15-year-old, I blew up my computer in school. |
