In a remarkable display of dedication and commitment to both his personal well-being and professional success, Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal shared his inspiring health transformation journey over the past four years.
Goyal's story serves as a testament to the importance of physical and mental health in achieving high performance in the workplace.
Goyal's Belief In The Power of Physical Health
Recognizing the significant impact of physical health on mental well-being and productivity, Deepinder Goyal embarked on his health journey in 2019, a few months before the Covid-19 pandemic.
He firmly believed that being in peak physical and mental shape would enable him to produce better quality work and excel in his role as CEO.
The Balanced Approach To Health
Goyal's approach to health and fitness was grounded in balance.
He began by tracking his carb intake and adopting a healthy diet, with the convenience of Zomato's offerings.
Indian home-cooked food, which can be carb-heavy, was replaced with nutritious choices.
However, Goyal didn't deprive himself entirely, as he allowed cheat days on weekends to indulge in his favorite treats like chole bhature, butter chicken, and gulab jamun.
