Mutual Funds Sahi Hai joins hands with Pinkathon Day to promote financial well-being alongside physical fitness
Mumbai, October 23, 2026:
Pinkathon, India's biggest women’s running movement, is set to celebrate the
4th edition of Pinkathon Day on October 25, 2026, bringing together over 10,000
participants across 168 locations in 65 cities spanning three countries. Mutual
Funds Sahi Hai as the Title partner, the initiative will see participation
across India, the Bangladesh and the Netherlands. In a collective celebration
of women’s health and fitness, participants across all locations will begin
their run simultaneously at 6:00 AM, covering a minimum distance of 3
kilometres.
In India, Pinkathon Day will witness
participation across Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Goa, Gujarat, Haryana,
Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Punjab,
Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand and West Bengal,
along with the Union Territories of Delhi, Jammu and Kashmir, Puducherry, and
Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu.
This year’s edition will place a special
emphasis on family participation, with over 1,200 individuals joining the
initiative alongside their family members, reinforcing the importance of making
fitness a shared commitment. Among the participants is a 96-year-old woman who
will take part in the run with her family, reflecting Pinkathon’s message that
age is no barrier to embracing an active lifestyle.
As the Title Partner of Pinkathon Day 2026, Mutual
Funds Sahi Hai will support the initiative's efforts to promote financial
well-being alongside physical fitness. It aims to encourage women to recognise
the importance of financial awareness and planning as essential components of
their overall well-being, highlighting how physical health and financial
preparedness together contribute to a healthier and more secure future.
Commenting on the initiative, Mr. Venkat N
Chalasani, Chief Executive, AMFI said, “Through our association with Pinkathon Day, we aim to
encourage women to take an active role in managing their finances and securing
their financial future. Just as regular physical activity contributes to
long-term health, informed financial decisions and disciplined investing can
help build financial resilience and enable women to pursue their long-term
goals with confidence.
With participants coming
together across 168 locations in 65 cities and three countries, Pinkathon Day
provides a valuable platform to connect women’s physical well-being with
financial awareness. At AMFI, we believe that financial inclusion goes beyond
access to financial products; it is about equipping women with the knowledge,
confidence and opportunity to make informed financial decisions, participate
meaningfully in the financial system and work towards greater financial
security and independence.”
Milind Soman, Founder of Pinkathon, said, "Pinkathon Day has always been about encouraging women to
take that first step towards better health and making fitness a part of their
everyday lives. With over 10,000 participants coming together across three
countries, it is encouraging to see how this movement continues to bring people
together. What makes this edition particularly special is the participation of
families across generations. Having a 96-year-old woman running alongside her
family is a wonderful reminder that fitness has no age limit. Our aim is to
encourage more women to prioritise their health and inspire their families to
do the same."
Over the years, Pinkathon has evolved from a
women's running event into a community-driven movement that encourages women to
adopt healthier lifestyles. Through its network of ambassadors and running
communities, the initiative continues to create opportunities for women to
begin their fitness journeys, irrespective of age or previous running
experience.
The 4th edition of Pinkathon Day will build on
this community-led approach, bringing women and their families together across
multiple locations with a common purpose. By encouraging participants to
complete a minimum 3 km run at the same time, the initiative seeks to
demonstrate how collective participation can inspire individual action and make
fitness a regular part of everyday life.
With Mutual Funds Sahi Hai joining the
initiative this year, Pinkathon Day 2026 will also broaden the conversation
around women's well-being by drawing attention to the importance of both
physical and financial health, encouraging women to take proactive steps
towards a healthier and financially secure future.
