Saimers' Cafe - 8th Issue

18 On Saturday early mornings, if you happen to travel to Shamirpet office in the company bus and peeping through the window when you are listening to your favourite song or thinking of Sunday plan or wondering what movie to watch on Netflix and you suddenly catch a fleeting glimpse of father-son duo cycling on the road... chances are that it is Sauri Gudlavalleti and his son. Here is his story in his own words: “Way back when, I had committed to myself that I would make a new resolution every five years, hoping that this would be easier to adhere to than the usual ‘new year’s resolutions’. Think of it as a ‘strategic goal’ versus an ‘annual budget’. Five years ago, I picked up Yoga, something which has enabled me to stay fit through my travels, with no dependencies on gym gear or equipment. This year, I decided to step up my occasional hobby of cycling to a more serious one. A root cause analysis of why I was struggling to go beyond 25km resulted in the realization that I was using a Trek bike. With good advice from a friend, I got myself a Bergamont Sweep 6. Over the last six months, I have ridden over 1300km, including a dozen 50km rides and even one 100km ride. The power of making good investments and of setting high standards is evident – something we follow here at Sai. Riding high on a cycle! Saimer families in focus Sauri Gudlavalleti with son, Saarang
