He’s the boss occupying the corner office by day, but come weekends, and Hero Cycles chairman Pankaj Munjal is looking for greener turf – the Delhi golf course. “Weekends are reserved for golf with my buddies,” Munjal said. Apart from using the sport as a stress buster, it makes for a great excuse to meet friends and discuss ideas too.

“I think golfing has also made me more resilient at work,” Munjal said. What started as a hobby for Munjal, soon became a passion and a few years ago, he found himself playing with golfing great Greg Norman and Tiger Woods in Florida. “Norman even helped me improve my swing. It was a surreal experience,” Munjal recalled.'
