The event also witnessed CEOs and other senior executives from leading companies coming together to deliberate on the cause of workplace health. Launched on World Obesity Day 2024 for over 100,000 employees of Embassy Manyata Business Park, NovoHealth@EmbassyManyata has inspired corporate employees across the park to adopt an active lifestyle, thus making significant strides in India’s mission to defeat obesity.

Reflecting on the initiative’s success, Vikrant Shrotriya – Managing Trustee, NNEF said “NovoHealth@EmbassyManyata is more than just a run club; it is a movement to transform mindsets and inspire individuals to take charge of their health. Over the past year, we have witnessed incredible enthusiasm and commitment with employees from 50+ companies joining the movement. Together, we are not only promoting a healthy lifestyle but are also taking meaningful steps to bend the obesity curve in India.
