Hardik Jagda, an Indian origin CEO who is based in San Francisco, recently shared when his workday starts and what it looks like. Instead of checking emails, he uses the quiet morning hours to exercise and plan business strategies. During a conversation with Business Insider , the founder and chief executive of Proximity Works revealed that he wakes up between 3:00 AM and 5:00 AM daily, and works for six days a week.
