McAfee India MD discovered cooking channels | Economic Times

Venkat Krishnapur, MD, McAfee India, on the tech that keeps him connected:Logging on“Technology has always been a part of my life and work. So personally, there has been no dramatic change in screen time for me ever since we went into lockdown. However, that’s not the case for many others who experienced a tectonic shift in their lives from a digital standpoint during the pandemic.”Trusted gadgets“The cellphone and the office laptop are my most used gadgets. I am a Windows person — except for my mobile devices that include iOS and Android operating systems.”Staying connected“Though I have multiple devices, I use my Samsung M30S mobile phone most of the time. I like it for its facial recognition, fingerprint scanning and high megapixel camera. It’s rare that I am not close to a phone at any time, as my operational responsibilities require me to be alert for all emergencies.”New toy“I love my LG 77-inch OLED Smart TV . It is AI -powered and the self-learning engine adapts to my viewing habits.”Apps of choice“I use Microsoft Outlook for work. For entertainment, news and sports, I turn to Tata Sky, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Amazon Music and Hotstar. YouTube gets me hooked on to cooking channels and documentaries. I am an avid user of Pedometer Pro for my workouts, and Speedtest to measure WiFi speed.”My lockdown list“Some of the best gadgets for me during the lockdown have been the Amazon Fire Stick and my smart TV. From a learning standpoint, LinkedIn Learning is recommended.”76397654
