In today's world one cannot oversee the importance of staying healthy, and keeping in mind the same, we launched a corporate wellness initiative on World Health Day where we introduced our fitness challenge, spread over five days.

Since these are unprecedented times, and we are working from home, we organised a virtual challenge where employees were designated different activities every day. Having said that, our spirits were high, and we saw massive participation from our employees. Read on to know about the activities of this challenge and why performing them in the long run is beneficial for you.
