Fit as a Fiddle (100 Day Transformation Challenge)

Health has become an integral part of our lives, and at iTech, we are committed to promoting a culture of wellness and vitality. Our ongoing 100-Day Challenge has been a transformative event, aimed at fostering new habits and improving the well-being of our employees.

As the world witnesses a surge in organic stores and weight loss programs, the importance of health has never been clearer. We understand the significance of this paradigm shift and strive to create an environment that supports our employees' health and happiness.

In iTech India, we are proud to have over 79 dedicated participants who have wholeheartedly embraced the challenge. Over the past 42 days, our vibrant team has explored a wide range of activities including walking, running, jogging, yoga, and adopting a nourishing diet. This journey has been a profound experience of self-discovery, self-care, and fostering incredible camaraderie.



Our employees have not only taken charge of their own well-being but have also become a source of inspiration for others around them. Through their commitment to this challenge, they have discovered newfound energy, focus, and a deep sense of personal accomplishment.

At iTech, we believe that reshaping our futures begins with adopting healthy habits. By championing well-being, nurturing vitality, and celebrating the strength of our incredible iTech community, we can unlock a world of possibilities and inspire a healthier, happier generation.

Incorporating a healthy diet is a key aspect of the 100-Day Challenge. A balanced and nutritious diet provides the body with essential macronutrients and micronutrients, which are vital for overall health. Macronutrients include carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, while micronutrients encompass vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.


Carbohydrates are the body's primary source of energy and can be found in foods such as whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. Proteins are essential for muscle repair and growth and can be obtained from lean meats, legumes, and dairy products. Healthy fats, found in sources like avocados, nuts, and olive oil, are important for brain function and hormone regulation.

In addition to macronutrients, it's crucial to focus on consuming an array of micronutrients. Vitamins and minerals play vital roles in various bodily functions, from supporting the immune system to promoting healthy bone growth. Incorporating a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins ensures an adequate intake of these micronutrients.

 Alongside a nutritious diet, engaging in regular exercise is essential for maintaining good health. The 100-Day Challenge encourages participants to explore various physical activities that suit their preferences and fitness levels. Whether it's walking, running, swimming, or cycling, finding an exercise routine that brings joy and consistency is key.

Yoga is another valuable practice that fosters physical and mental well-being. Its combination of stretching, strengthening, and mindfulness techniques promotes flexibility, balance, and stress reduction. By incorporating yoga into their daily routines, our employees have discovered a powerful tool for relaxation and rejuvenation.

Furthermore, for those seeking to take their fitness to the next level, our iTech gym provides a comprehensive range of workouts. From strength training to cardio exercises, the gym offers a supportive and motivating environment for individuals to challenge themselves and achieve their fitness goals.

The 100-Day Challenge is not just a short-term endeavor but a catalyst for long-lasting lifestyle changes. It encourages employees to integrate healthy habits into their daily lives, ensuring that their well-being remains a top priority even beyond the challenge period.

While Maslow's hierarchy delineates physical needs, psychological needs, esteem needs, and self-actualization, we propose a redefined interpretation that centers around physical wellness, psychological wellness, team wellness, and self-transformation.

As we continue on this transformative journey, let's embrace the power of a healthy diet, regular exercise, yoga, and engaging workouts at the gym. By nourishing our bodies with the right nutrients, staying physically active, and prioritizing self-care, we can unlock our full potential and inspire those around.

In the dynamic landscape of modern business, organizations face a pressing need to move beyond conventional employee engagement practices. Macro-economic shifts and evolving employee preferences, notably among Gen Z, underscore the necessity for a profound transformation in how companies view and interact with their workforce.

The desire for attention, respect, and a sense of euphoria comparable to high-end retail experiences is increasingly becoming a driving force in employee expectations. The paradigm shift extends to how employees wish to be perceived - not just as workers but as "Customers." This implies a departure from traditional employer-employee relationships towards a model where HR frameworks are agile, adapting seamlessly to the diverse and fluid needs of modern talent. Havi...

Each realm comes with its own set of challenges, triumphs, and unique characteristics that shape the HR landscape in profound ways. Embracing Tradition in Manufacturing HR In the world of manufacturing, the heartbeat of HR echoes with the rhythms of tradition.
