Happy to share I finished the TCS World 10K Bengaluru 2026, within the cut-off time, qualifying for the next edition. But it’s not only about that. My journey started in 2007, and later continued with the Sunfeast Bangalore 10K and TCS 10K Marathons since 2011. Moved to Mumbai and stepped up to half marathons (21 Km) and became a huge fan of the Tata Mumbai Marathon! Hit a major roadblock in 2019 when I suffered a slip disc. At that time, I thought my running days are over. Made a comeback, the finish line wasn’t just about speed; it was about recovery. Huge gratitude to Dr. Shreedhar Archik, the incredible team at PhysioRehab, Ms. Chandan Poddar, then at H N Reliance Foundation Hospital (for my first Half Marathon), fellow runners, and friends. Special note of thanks to my dear wife Radhika, who ensured I get here and my family. I’m back in the circuit and staying committed to both my favorite races: TMM in Mumbai and the World 10K in Bangalore. The road to recovery is long, but the finish line is worth it. See you at the next starting line! Kudos to Procam International Private Limited, United Way Mumbai, and all stakeholders for the great work on Charity. #TCSW10K #TMM #RunningMotivation #ComebackStory #HealthAndFitness #BangaloreRunning #MumbaiRunners. Hello Doctor, Thank you again, my recovery and continued participation are all thanks to you 🙏 Great job.. congratulations
