On International Yoga Day 2025, top CEOs from across India’s corporate landscape opened up about how yoga and wellness practices are influencing not only their personal lives but also their leadership philosophies. In a special feature by The Economic Times, executives from leading firms like Tata Steel, HDFC Life, and Tech Mahindra discussed how yoga has become a vital part of their daily routine.
Many leaders credit yoga for helping them navigate high-pressure environments with greater mental clarity, emotional resilience, and physical stamina. While some begin their mornings with full-length yoga sessions, others integrate short pranayama or breathing exercises into their workday to maintain balance and focus during critical decision-making moments.
The feature highlights a broader trend in India Inc.—where holistic wellness is increasingly making its way from individual practice to boardroom policy. With corporate wellness gaining traction, these CEOs are not only practicing mindfulness themselves but are also embedding wellness into workplace culture, promoting healthier, more productive teams.
As yoga continues to bridge the gap between personal well-being and professional performance, India’s top executives are leading by example—proving that a calm mind can be a company’s strongest asset.
