“Our latest health challenge at @zerodhaonline is to give an option to set a daily activity goal on our fitness trackers. Anyone meeting whatever goal set on 90% of the days over next year gets 1 month's salary as a bonus. One lucky draw of ₹10lks as a motivation kicker,” Kamath tweeted.

Citing himself as an example, Kamath described his own tracking activity, since his initial weight gain after Covid, as the ‘best growth hack.' He tweeted: “…end up being more conscious about diet too. Slowly upped daily goal to 1000 calories. This is how my Sep looks until now; it will be interesting to see other's who use activity trackers.”

Last year, in August, Kamath revealed the results of a similar healthchallenge which was announced for the company's employees. Under this, they were asked to set a 12-month get-healthy goal and update the progress every month.
“The transformation stories are super inspiring and pushing others to take action as well,” Kamath said then.
