By my conservative math, we have used zoom for close to 10,000 hours since March 30, 2020. We coach live online for between 4-10 hours a day every single day except Sundays.

And the app hasn’t failed us once. I don’t want to jinx it. But that’s an admirably consistent record.

When things have gotten patchy, it is my Internet connection to blame. But even then, it’s me sounding like robocop and a frozen frame.

Hell, we’ve had to shut the gym for Diwali, Pongal and a couple of cyclones. Leaks, a blown off roof (improper installation) and flooded roads have happened. But zoom has not failed us once.

Zoom was game-changer in one more sense. Since Madras has the vibe of a retirement community with its underwhelming coastline, unexciting food scene and poisonous booze, people routinely flee for Bangalore and Hyderabad. And we would lose clients to this migration.

Not any more. We manage to win back clients who had moved. And find new ones too. Across the world. And this was enabled solely by Zoom and a computer. It’s not for everyone. But way more people have embraced training at home than I would have ever imagined.

Anyways thank you Zoom. It’s allowed us to build a business I would have never imagined!
