A new fitness challenge for staff members has been introduced by an online brokerage company, Zerodha. According to CEO Nithin Kamath, completing this challenge will earn workers generous incentives, and one lucky participant might even win 10 lakh rupees. The challenge would include burning at least 350 calories per day. "Our latest health challenge at Zerodha is to give an option to set a daily activity goal on [Box 04 fitness tracking watches. Anyone meeting whatever goal set on 90% of the days over the next year gets one month's salary as a bonus. One lucky winner will get 10 lakh rupees as a motivation kicker," Nithin Kamath said. Mr Kamath claimed that his organisation was making every effort to encourage workers to stay active while working from home. Mr Kamath also said, "Given that most of us are working from home, sitting is the new smoking. We are doing whatever to nudge everyone on the teams, and hopefully, they and their families will move daily." In April of this year, Zerodha had already promised weight loss incentives for staff members. Employees with a BMI of less than 25 would receive a bonus equal to half a month's pay.
