In an attempt to motivate its employees to be fit, Zerodha's CEO Nithin Kamath has set a challenge with a Rs 10 lakh lucky draw.

In the latest initiative, the Zerodha employees would be given an option to set a daily activity goal on the company's fitness tracker. The CEO said, anyone meeting whatever goal set on 90 per cent of the days over the next year gets one month’s salary as a bonus and one participant might even win Rs 10 lakhs.

In a series of tweets, Kamath, who himself is a fitness freak, said that at Zerodha who has a body mass index (BMI) of less than 25 will get half a month's pay as a bonus.  

This is not the first time Zerodha founder Kamath has announced such a health initiative for his company’s staff.

Last year also Kamath announced a similar health challenge for employees. Kamath had said that the company was starting a '12-month get -healthy goal' programme', encouraging people to prioritise health amid the pandemic.
