We talk about her early love for art, how she got into triathlons, the friendships she’s built through sport, and how she balances training, work and family.

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.
