Yardi Pune

By Erica Rascón on Jul 3, 2018 in People

Let’s face it: it’s hard to stay active in a corporate setting. Encouraging employees to live a healthy lifestyle while also expecting eight hours of productivity—often in front of a computer—can be a challenging directive. But what if an event was fun, healthful, and allowed employees to bond by overcoming adversity and encouraging one another? That event is the Fit4Life Corporate Challenge Program.

Hosted by Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Fit4Life is a 10k race that promotes physical fitness and unity amongst teams of at least four participants. Race participants are encouraged to train together, motivate each other, and reach new personal goals by race day.

Yardi Pune represented well this year with 291 employees. There were 69 women in the group, a spectacular turnout.

Rushabh Mutha, Associate Client Account Executive, CSD at Yardi was one of the proud participants. He recalls, “Race day was very pleasant. In the morning, the weather was a bit chilly. In spite of the cold, I was very excited. Everyone was so full of enthusiasm.”

Mutha adds, “The arrangements made by TCS were very nice. There were large, festive markers for the start and finish line. There was also a place where you can take a picture that says, ‘I am a finisher.’ I felt very proud to participate.”

Undoubtedly, Mutha’s favorite part of the event was finishing. “The most fun part was completing the race and holding the Yardi trophy!” he smiles.

The event was particularly special for Mutha because it was not only his first race, but it is also his first year with the company. Fit4Life encouraged him to meet new coworkers and develop stronger relationships with familiar faces, all while getting fit.

“As I just joined the company, it was fun meeting other Yardi employees, see new faces and interact with them,” says Mutha.
