RESTART/ GROUND ZERO (18/10/2026)

“A restart brings new focus, new strength, and new vision. Don’t fear starting again—it may be the very thing that takes you further.” - Jennifer Livingston

1914- Number of Days between reoccurrence of my last & most recent epileptic seizure (5 years 2 months 26 days)
217- Number of Days I trained for @bergman_ozar_pune Olympic Distance Triathlon but couldn’t go
23- Number of days to change mindset from training for my triathlon which was my A race to running a half marathon at @delhihalfmarathon which was my B race
84 - Number of kms I ran as training prior to this race
12- Number of hours before I landed in Delhi for the race from a holiday
11- Number of years being endurance athlete
5- No of times I have now run at VDHM
2- No of athletes I coached who ran at VDHM
101 - No of minutes I took to complete the run

When suddenly something unexpected happens , for reasons unknown - you do get a reality check. You either start doubting everything or feel like doing nothing. You are at two extreme polarities.

For an endurance athlete like myself who has been strong mentally, always dedicated, disciplined and self-motivated when such a setback occurs - I was evaluating - what could have gone wrong, what could have triggered this, why did this happen now?

Coming into this race- there were a mix of several positives & negatives I was carrying with me - not only sport related but overall life related. For the first time ever, I didn’t have a WHY, I felt out of sync. I was taking things simply as they come- minute by minute.

Was just happy & grateful being with a bunch of friends who kept things light and fun. Sometimes, all you need is to let go of everything, just be present and cherish the moment.

I was grateful to have been able to be standing at the Start Line of the race and crossing the Finish Line gave me a certain amount of self confidence that I still got what it takes to compete and perform well when the time comes.

Health is my #1 priority moving forward- more self aware, more conscious and more in-tune with myself and listening to my body for the long run.

The last 2 years have been a tough phase - far from smooth sailing and definitely not personal best territory. But VDHM is my absolute favorite run of the year, and missing it was never an option.

21.1 km in 1:38:36. No record times today, just pure heart, showing up, and putting in the work.

A big step forward on the rebuild. I will come back stronger. 💪🔥

A job can feed 4 people. A business can feed 40, 4,000—even 4 lakh.

That’s the difference Akhil Jain highlights when he talks about the scale of impact a business can create.

Back in 2003, he had a lucrative job offer. But his father had a different plan: come back and join the family business.

One decision. A different career path. And a reminder that building a business isn't just about earning for yourself. It's about creating opportunities for others, too.

Would you choose a well-paying job or take the leap into your family business?

A community is only as strong as its commitment to those who need support.

JITO’s efforts bring an important reality into focus: even within a community known for its business and entrepreneurial achievements, there may be people who need help and support.

The percentage may be small, but the responsibility remains. Recognising this reality is an important step towards ensuring that no one gets overlooked.

Because real community building isn't just about celebrating success. It's also about extending support where it matters.

“A business can survive on personal trust at a certain scale, but it cannot build a ₹1,500-crore organisation that way.”

We have finally uploaded our latest episode featuring Mr. Akhil Jain.

Akhil ji is the CEO and MD of Madame. Beyond steering a massive legacy apparel empire with roots dating back to the 1930s, he is a true master storyteller.

Sitting across from him was a deeply inspiring reality check. Coming from a family business myself, witnessing how he turns complex corporate problems into relatable stories about people and change was a masterclass in leadership.

In this episode, we unpacked the emotional and tactical realities of what happens when tradition meets modern scale.

We decoded his journey of learning the business from the absolute ground floor, laid out the harsh lessons of navigating a dramatic 2016 Income Tax raid, and confronted the hard truths of implementing modern tech like ERP against loyal, old-school resistance.

Thank you, Akhil ji, for teaching us invaluable lessons on life, business, and legacy.
