<p>Vishnu Bhat is an executive at Blueneem medical devices which designs and manufactures minimally invasive medical devices. This ex-infosys executive got into cycling after realizing how unfit his busy lifestyle has made him. I have met him and recorded this episode during Tour of Karnataka that we did last month. He was there cycling with his 21 year old son. As someone who has two sons, it was very inspiring to see.</p> <p>In this episode, we talk about his cycling journey and how Tour of Karnataka has shaped it. How we tend to overestimate the time we need to stay fit, how a lot of us are afraid of taking that first step towards a lifestyle change despite our struggles etc.</p> <p>0:00:00 &nbsp;Intro</p> <p>0:02:41 &nbsp;What work is for him currently.
