iSupport - Raj Hosali Samod Kumar

Raj Hosali, Country Manager at Edrington India, is driven by a passion for creating meaningful impact through leadership in dynamic environments. A dedicated marathon runner, he constantly pushes boundaries with purpose—on every trail he runs and in every challenge he embraces.

This year, Raj will be joined by Samod Kumar, a part-time coach associated with Decathlon, New Delhi, as the two gear up to take on the Satara Hill Half Marathon together. Widely regarded as one of the toughest races of its kind, it is often referred to as the “Half Hill Marathon Ultra” for its demanding climbs and serene, meditative surroundings—making it as much a mental challenge as a physical one.

For Raj and Samod, the finish line is just one part of the journey. They are running in support of the India Cares Foundation, with a mission to empower schoolchildren at the Satara Government School promoting inclusivity in sports and giving underprivileged children the opportunity to experience its joy, discipline and confidence building power.
