Amartya Sinha

An IT professional, catering to the Central Government for server management. He traveled to and fro with ungodly working hours, creating an imbalance in his life leading to obesity. During his regular check-ups, he was diagnosed with high BP but refused to take any medication, and looked for an alternative. 

He joined a group of friends & slowly understood the technicalities of running by referring to online sources and having conversations with experienced runners. His wife also started running just to support him. He claims his wife to be his most significant and strongest motivator.

SBI Green Marathon was his first-ever run. He attempted the Procam Slam being highly inspired by a similar weight runner who won, giving the thing Amartya needed the most - hope. He simply listens to what his body needs, meeting them and not others' expectations & judgments. 

Amartya, now based in Lucknow, with his company reaching silver jubilee, has lost 30 kgs.
