Описание: In this episode of The Real Sweat Equity Podcast, we sit down with Parag Sharma — a 30-year renewable energy veteran, Founder of O2 Power, and CEO of Zelestra Energy — to decode something most people think is impossible: How do you build megawatts for the country… and still build power within yourself?

Parag sir’s journey isn’t just about leadership in boardrooms — it’s about the discipline of early mornings, the mental resilience built through endurance running, and the calm that comes when you commit to something bigger than comfort.

If you’re a founder, CXO, young professional, or simply someone trying to get fitter while juggling life — this one will hit home.
