The next day, after a morning with warm up sessions personalised by celebrity fitness trainer Sachin Rana and well known physiotherapist Dr Divya Sharma, the focus was equally on non golfers for the first time. The resort had partnered with Abha Bakaya of Ladies Who Lead to engage guests with a chat with nutritionist Dr. Vishaka Shivdasani and actor/entrepreneur and founder of House of Masaba, Masaba Gupta who showcased her fashion creations with a pop-up store, which turned into a sellout event.
