    For Dhaval Ajmera, Director of Ajmera Realty, running is not just recreational. It also helps him fine-tune his business skills. Ajmera, who has run three full marathons and multiple half marathons, says that he’s been running for the last 17 years and about 75-100km a month. It’s a passion he’s keen to stick with for the long haul because of the number of benefits it has for him.
    Ajmera tells ETPanache, “Running actually gives you a lot of time to think about your work and business. It also helps keep me motivated and pushes me to work harder – not just while running, but as a professional as well. Like a marathon, I have to push myself even in difficult and stressful times.”

    Ajmera says that running also showed him his own potential. “I was never a runner or never a fitness freak but this has motivated me to keep on going and trying different things.” His ideal running partner? Himself.

    “I usually run alone, because I personally believe that running gives a lot of time for me to think about my work and my other issues. Running gives me a lot of thought and clarity. Occasionally I also run with my friends or a group of people who are also into this but primarily it is only myself,” he says.

    Ajmera says that he makes it a point to exercise at least five times a week. And he manages to do this thanks to the pandemic and the technological advances it brought with it. “Thanks to the technological world of the zooms in virtual meetings it has helped me plan a lot of my visit to the site and meeting my people or team virtually rather than waiting for it to happen personally so this saves a lot of time and a lot of action can happen quickly,” he shares.

    Another way this boss likes to unwind is by spending time with his family, catching up with friends and bingeing on Netflix. “I like watching TV during my free time and thanks to Netflix it has been quite interesting and during the pandemic especially series like Money Heist, Scam 1992, etc really kept me entertained,” he says.
