In this episode of the #NoShortcuts podcast, we speak with Ashwini Kapila, who spent 28+ years in the corporate grind before a wake-up call led him to run, cycle, and reclaim his health.

One day, he asked himself:
• Will my health outlast me?
• Will my wealth outlast me?
• Will I have four friends to say goodbye?

That moment became a turning point.

Through running and cycling, Ashwini not only reversed lifestyle conditions but also found deeper meaning in building community.
Today, he leads @getsetup.india, an initiative helping people age actively through learning, movement, and connection.
