In this episode, we talk with Anubhav Karmakar. Anubhav Karmakar started out as a cyclist, picked up running, then he participated in triathlons. He is extremely good at all of these, but at least for now, it is in running that he seems to have found a footing and grown from strength to strength as an athlete. He quit his well paying IT consultancy job and started an organization that aligned with his passion for multiple sports and calls it Athloft Multisport. A coaching firm providing coaching services in running, cycling and triathlon.

Someone working fulltime/part-time, entrepreneur or anyone who has to work to make ends meet and doesn't let being busy to stop him/her from pursuing an active lifestyle is a working athlete. I consider stay at home moms/dads who pursue a sport, as working athletes because homemaking is a full-time job. If you like this, share with friends who could be interested.
