In this edition of TalkCXOLife, we are looking at a CXO who refused to rely on 'magic pills' to bail him out of a health crisis but instead claimed his freedom by putting his legs (and his will) to good use. By running! He not only disproved his physician's outlook but transformed into an avid marathoner and is now a runner for life.

So, Get set and meet Anindo Ganguly, Director & Delivery Leader, DXC Technology (UK). Anindo has worked with some of the biggest IT giants in leadership roles with Infosys (UK), Sasken, Wipro Technologies among others.

Now, given his stellar credentials and his simple, no-nonsense bespectacled look one might presume he is the stereotypically serious IT nerd. But appearances are known to be deceptive of course. In this conversation with Sunayana Nair, Editor CXO Life, Anindo unravels not only his grit and focus as we track his journey from living an unhealthy lifestyle to transforming into a besotted runner or the way he tackled challenges leading large teams across continents during the lockdown but it also reveals his funny, humorous and playful side.

Anindo’s passion for running is evident as we discuss almost every factor related to running and though it is the longest we’ve dwelled on running, yet it is one of the breeziest conversations! It’s also quite special as we soon near the season finale of the TalkCXOLife series. So, go on, grab those pair of shoes. Quite sure you’ll be motivated to go for that run once you listen to this!
