A light-hearted yet competitive push-up challenge, shared on Instagram by entrepreneur Dilip Kumar in collaboration with Kamath, has gone viral, showcasing the fitness streak among India’s leading business minds.

The clip shared on Instagram puts Kamath and several well-known entrepreneurs in a playful yet intense contest of strength and endurance.
Round by round breakdown
The competition began with a 30 push-up challenge, with all participants holding strong. As the challenge progressed into the 40 push-up round, competitors started dropping out. Among those who exited were Swetha Subbiah, co-founder of Sisters in Sweat, Dilip Kumar himself, Adnan Adeeb of Spectacom, and Seema Patil, director at Zerodha and Kamath’s wife.
The final 50 push-up round narrowed the field to just two contenders: Nithin Kamath and Shiva Subramanian, founder of Biopeak. Subramanian fought hard but eventually fell short, leaving Kamath as the overall winner of the challenge.
