Describe your technology setup - what computer/ phone/ tablet/ camera/ gaming console/ other gadgets do you use?
Faisal Husain: I am using an Macbook Air as my laptop, as I am comfortable with Apple devices.

What are three apps (mobile/ tablet or PC/ Mac) you couldn't live without?
Faisal Husain: There are too many, but there are some which get used most. For office work, we rely heavily on Yammer for communications. I also depend on WhatsApp for keeping in touch with family and friends, while Uber is useful for getting a cab in a jiffy when I am traveling.

What is one gadget (other than your phone) you never travel without?
Faisal Husain: My Macbook Air 11". I'm not an iPad so I carry my reliable laptop with me.

What is your dream gadget/ technology setup?
Faisal Husain: I'm very excited by Google Glass, though I think they need more time to mature. I definitely think this is the future - computing being integrated into our ears and eyes.

How has technology changed the way in which you work?
Faisal Husain: Technology is constantly evolving and I am not surprised at the speed! It's been a wonderful learning to actually witness the transition. I think this paradigm shift is due to innovative practices that the corporations have adopted. The way data is generated, managed, processed, shared and dissected is definitely the next big thing.
