“We are delighted to host the IIFL JITO Ahimsa Run in Mumbai with an aim to spread awareness of peace, non-violence, love, and unity for a better world. In today’s turbulent times, more than ever there is a need to appreciate and adopt the principles of Ahimsa, not only physical non-violence but also mental. It is for the first time thousands of sports enthusiasts, professional runners, beginners, homemakers, children, and people from all walks of life will come together to run for peace.”, said Prithviraj Kothari, Chairman, JITO Mumbai Zone.

“Unlike regular run, Ahimsa Run has a deeper meaning. It is a great opportunity to run for a purpose. Through this unique initiative, we aim to unite all Indians and people across the world with a common cause of peace, empathy, and non-violence which is one of the greatest assertions of Bhagwan Mahavir. We are very optimistic that people from Mumbai and across the country will participate in large numbers to mark this historic event”, said Mahendra Jain, Vice Chairman, JITO, Mumbai Zone.
