Mumbai, where the quickest way around is often stuck in traffic, thousands are geared up to trade their car keys for handlebars on November 9. The YES SECURITIES Cyclothon '25, Mumbai – Pedal Karo Apne Se, is all set to transform the megacity's streets. The message: Sometimes the best investment you can make isn't in the stock market, but in yourself. The anticipation peaked on October 19, when YES Securities launched the official cyclothon kit at a high-spirited Unveiling event at YES Bank House. A cycling jersey, shining medal and commemorative certificate complete the kit. And these aren't just collectibles, they're badges of honour for a movement that's pedalling Mumbai toward a healthier, wholistic and sustainable tomorrow. The launch saw cycling mayors, fitness enthusiasts, the Striders team, and associating partners Big FM, Fast & Up, and Truefitt & Hill come together in a celebration of wellness and community spirit. The Idea of Moving Forward The centrepiece of the event was an engaging panel discussion - "The Balancing Act: Life, Health and Work". Mr. Anshul Arzare, MD & CEO of YES Securities, along with Radio Jockey Rani from Big FM and Subhashini Visweswaran from Fast & Up spoke about their personal cycling experiences and highlighted the mobility & infrastructure challenges that come with it. Moderated by event director Anil Uchil, with co-founder Praful Uchil in attendance, the conversation struck at the core of modern urban living. "Cycling has always been more than a sport, it's a reflection of life itself," Arzare observed. "The rhythm of compounding forward, staying balanced, and finding your own pace resonates deeply with our philosophy at YES SECURITIES." From Passive to Passionate The panellists spoke out on Mumbai's urban mobility challenges and called for improving infrastructure and active mobility solutions. It is this very conversation and exchange of ideas around the Cyclothon that makes it more than just a fitness event. It's about bringing lifestyle transformation in a city struggling with sedentary routines and growing work pressure. Bicycle Mayors from the Mumbai Metropolitan Region not only hailed YES Securities' initiative, but they also had practical suggestions like Cycle To Work Fridays, bicycle parking facilities, shower amenities, and incentive schemes. Arzare's positive response to these ideas indicates a likely shift in corporate wellness culture. Fitness & Finance: The Compound Effect What stands out in this cyclothon is its alignment with financial wellness. Both cycling and investing need risk management, discipline, consistency, patience, and strategic planning. Whether navigating through challenging terrain or volatile markets, one can still attain success by staying invested and believing in the compounding effect. By participating in the cyclothon and engaging with YES Securities' financial services, Mumbaikars are boosting their physical endurance along with financial acumen. Ready for the Ride?
