Fit at 60

Key Speaker: Rajesh Kalra, a digital media pioneer, sports administrator, and an endurance cyclist, who has served on the PM’s Olympic Task Force and various national sports committees.

Chair: Brigadier Ashok Abbey, a veteran mountaineer with over four and a half decades of climbing experience in the Great Ranges.

On 28 August 2025, his 60th birthday, Rajesh Kalra cycled to Umling La in Ladakh, the world's highest motorable road at 19,024 feet. An experienced long-distance cyclist and a trained mountaineer, he shares the challenges of riding at extreme altitude and reflects on endurance, adventure, and pushing personal limits. The feat has been accepted for inclusion in the Limca Book of Records.
