Over the last few years, something has shifted.
Run clubs. Triathlons. Marathons. Hybrid races.
Ordinary professionals are training like athletes, travelling across the country to compete, and building entire social lives around endurance sport. Somewhere along the way, being an athlete became a badge of honour.
Founders started rewarding it. Networks are forged around it.
In this episode, we unpack the rise of what we are calling the “fitness warrior”. This is a new professional archetype where work follows the same logic as sport: optimise, train, perform.
You will hear from:
- Adnan Adeeb, who built Devil’s Circuit, India’s first obstacle race and later launched the Yodha race
- Deepak Raj, who brought Ironman 70.3 and Hyrox to India
- Arjun Vaidya, founder and investor
- Diksha Dwivedi, who runs Mumbai’s Founder’s Run Club
- And employees and operators who are living this shift in real time
We look at what’s driving this obsession with endurance and what it says about how India’s startup workplaces now hire, network, and define success, in a world where careers feel increasingly uncertain.
Tune in.
