He is the Director of Wakil Housing & Development Corp. in Bangalore and he is also the Co-founder and Director of Sufi Studios, the company that creates Sufi-themed magazines and comics. He is also the Managing Trustee at ILM Montessori, and lastly he knows the secrets of running an organization in the 21st Century in a very unique way known as Holacracy.

Here Arif talks about managing different ventures with the help of GDP, Holacracy etc., and also support from his family. He talks about what is GTD Method, how he came across it and then managed to bring it to India. He shares on how he got to know about the GTD just surfing through the internet and finally found David Allen's method.

He talks about the Finisher's Club, which came up to his mind while coaching a client with GTD, and it is a 1-on-1 weekly coaching to make sure the person is focused on the most important thing throughout the week. He also explains the importance of externalizing thoughts while doing multiple tasks.

We discuss about an interesting topic known as 'Holacracy', which is a Self-Organization Managing System. He gives an in-depth explanation on Holacracy and how it works when we apply it on practical life. We also talk about other methods called 'Sociocracy' and 'Agile'. There are different benefits of Holacracy and ways to implement it on your daily life that you get to know here.
