Alaima Zaidi — Sr. Associate, Design Operations
I’ve evolved from being the sharp-witted ENTP to the heart-driven ENFP, infusing my once-logical core with a newfound wave of empathy and creative zeal. Since childhood, my interests have traversed a diverse range of fields including dance, writing, sports, and the arts. I’m a curious soul with an insatiable appetite for trying new experiences.
I’m all about outdoor adventures, but let’s be real when civilization calls, I find my solace in the mystical realm of retail therapy — because who needs nature’s tranquility when you can have a shopping cart full of zen? 🌳🛒😄
I possess an innate curiosity that compels me to unravel intricate details. While some may find it amusing, my penchant for asking numerous questions stems from a genuine desire to grasp the world around me and dive into its depths.
My friends might say my superpower is asking questions or maybe my most annoying trait — I mean, who needs FAQs when you’ve got me around? 😄🕵️♂️
Favourite place of work (office or home) and why?
Office: The office buzz fuels my work mojo like a caffeine IV drip.

Cold Coffee and Maggi
Choice of music while working?
I tend to skip the tunes while working; back in the day, I never caught onto the whole music-while-studying vibe, so I guess it’s just not my groove.
