What Is The Health Challenge?

He explained that it would be an optional program wherein an individual would be required to burn a minimum of 350 active calories per day, in any form.
In the post, the CEO called work from home (WFH) and sitting as the new smoking, turning into an epidemic. He said, "We are doing whatever to nudge everyone on the teams & hopefully, they and their families to move daily."
Shared His Own Experience
Kamath detailed his personal experience during the COVID-19 pandemic and provided a screenshot of a health app. He said tracking his fitness activity has been the best growth app and made him more conscious about diet as well.
The founder concluded, "Slowly upped daily goal to 1000 calories. This is how my Sep looks until now; it will be interesting to see others who use activity trackers."
