Case study: Promoting healthy
lifestyles in Bangalore
Employees of tenants at International Tech Park
Bangalore (¡°ITPB¡±) look forward to participating in
a wide range of activities organised throughout the
year. One of the most eagerly anticipated event
is the annual ITPB Healthy Lifestyle and Sports
meet, which allows park employees to exercise,
de-stress and improve their personal fitness levels.
The ITPB Healthy Lifestyle and Sports Meet
2016, which was held in February 2016, saw a
record turnout of 4,000 participants from over
56 companies. The event which is spread over
10 days covers a mix of indoor and outdoor
games, including football, volleyball, chess
and carrom. A 5 kilometre run was introduced
this year and was met with overwhelming
response. Over 600 runners participated to
embrace the competitive spirit of running.
The highly successful ITPB Healthy Lifestyle
and Sports Meet concluded with a grand finale
where Xerox Corporation was awarded the
¡®Overall Champion of the Year¡¯ for winning
the most number of sporting categories.
I have been participating in this event for
the past three years. Our team has been the
winner in volleyball for the past two years.
Victory aside, it is the joy of participation
that is keeping us inspired. These outdoor
events not only act as a stress-buster but also
a great platform to expand our social circle.

These events are good energy-boosters and
despite our busy schedules, many have come
forward to participate. Such mass outdoor
activities should be promoted to keep anxiety
and depression at bay. Even our company
is taking great interest in such events.
