108 Ken team members laced up their running shoes for the Ichalkaranji Marathon 2022, proving that a team that trains together truly grows together — on the track and in the workplace.
The Ichalkaranji Marathon 2022 was more than just a race. For Ken, it was a statement — a visible, collective demonstration of the values that drive us every single day: discipline, perseverance, and the belief that we are stronger together.
108 Ken team members participated in the marathon, a number that speaks volumes about the culture we have built. These were colleagues from across departments — from the production floor to the management team — united by a common goal and months of shared preparation.
In the weeks leading up to the event, the team trained rigorously under the guidance of our Fitness Ambassador, Mr. Gopal Patekari Sir. His coaching went far beyond running technique. He inspired team members to challenge their own limits, show up consistently, and support one another through the toughest training sessions.
"Everything happens twice — first in our mind and then in reality." This philosophy guided every training session. Before a single kilometre was run on race day, it had already been conquered mentally by each and every one of our 108 participants.
At Ken, we believe that a healthy team is a productive team. Physical fitness builds mental resilience, and mental resilience is what enables us to solve problems, meet deadlines, and deliver quality at scale. The marathon was not just a fitness event — it was a masterclass in team cohesion.
We are incredibly proud of every member who crossed that finish line and of everyone who supported them along the way. This is who we are: a team that shows up, trains hard, and grows together — not just at work, but in every aspect of life.
