Reliance Jio hosted the world’s largest online corporate yoga event conducted by a single organisation in collaboration with Habuild. The event saw the participation of over 52,913 employees and has been recognised by the World Records Union as a historic milestone for workplace wellbeing.
As per Reliance, this milestone reflects the company’s commitment to placing employee wellness at the centre of its culture. It follows the initiatives that support mental health, flexibility, holistic wellbeing and sustainable productivity, which the company has actively promoted over the last year.
The session also reinforces Reliance’s belief that even small, consistent practices can make a significant difference in how employees feel and perform every day.
“For us at Reliance, this initiative was never just about an event; it was about strengthening well-being at work,” said Rahul Mukherjee, CHRO, Jio. “When employees feel healthier, mentally centred and emotionally supported, their overall well-being, productivity, focus and creativity naturally rise. This world record stands as a reflection of our belief that wellness is a fundamental part of a thriving workplace.”
Saurabh Bothra, Habuild Co-founder & Yoga Teacher added, “We spend most of our day at work, and when we don’t feel our best, it shows in our energy, our ideas and in our teamwork. Wellness at work isn’t a luxury anymore; it’s a basic need. I understand it’s difficult to find time, but even taking just 2 to 5 minutes out of 24 hours for a little movement can create a meaningful shift. When you feel good, you show up differently, you think clearer, connect better and stay more grounded. Reliance has experienced that shift because they chose to prioritise wellness, and I’m truly glad we could play a small part in making that happen.”
During the virtual session, employees were walked through simple movement, breathwork, and mindfulness techniques that they could follow from anywhere. These exercises were seemingly designed to “fit into busy workdays while still delivering meaningful impact.” As per Reliance, the high participation in the event reflects how technology-enabled flexibility can make wellness accessible at scale.
