Weight and watch! Xiaomi India MD Manu Kumar Jain has a personal target to achieve this year

While Xiaomi India MD Manu Kumar Jain is a very busy man, he has been has carving out time to achieve a personal target: to weigh as much as he did when he was a college student. Jain won’t reveal how much he weighed then, letting on just that he intends to lose it by the end of 2017. In fact, he’s already seeing good results, having lost six kilos last month.

Jain’s new found fitness goal is being realised by hitting the gym set up by Mukesh Bansal and Ankit Nagori. He tries different exercise routines along with following a strict diet. “I am trying to cut down on sugar, have stopped carbs intake post sunset and have a protein rich diet. My target is to reach my IIT days weight, which is still eight kg lower than what I am right now. So, I am mid way there,” Jain says.

He’s facing competition from his wife on this front. “My wife lost some weight before I did. Since she had already lost weight (when he joined the gym), her weight loss is much slower now. Mine has been a very fast. So, right now, I am winning,” he says with a laugh.
