Binda Kanayalkar spent over three decades in the corporate world working with ExxonMobil before deciding to take early retirement in 2010. Rather than relocating to Bangalore, she chose to stay in her community and dedicate herself to service work, social activities, and consulting.
Binda started her own company, WaW-Wellness at Work, where she is a one-woman army conducting programs and workshops focused on occupational wellness and mental wellbeing. She provides consulting services to small and medium-sized businesses on wellness at work, employee engagement, and learning engagement. Even during the pandemic, companies reached out to her for sessions on how to live life to the fullest, manage anxiety, and the importance of ergonomics.
Balancing Work and Passion with GetSetUp
Despite her busy schedule, Binda ensures she maintains a balanced life, dedicating time to her passions like arts and crafts, painting, and community service. "I always loved doing these things but didn't have the kind of time when I was working. You want to, but you are stretching yourself," she reflects. Binda’s love for wellness extends beyond her professional life, as she is also deeply involved with her Yoga community, where she has been a regular practitioner and Trustee for over 27 years.
Binda first heard about GetSetUp through a close family friend and quickly saw its potential to enhance her ability to reach out to the community.
"I loved the idea of GetSetUp because after my early retirement, I dedicated the first year to working with the youth and seniors—working closely with educational institutions and the community. I wanted to reach out to these segments because they do not get attention and tend to slide into loneliness and isolation. When this opportunity came to me, I thought this is great! This would certainly make it easier for me to help reach out to the community, the whole objective and the idea is something that I always wanted to do."
Sharing Wellness and Knowledge
Binda now leads discovery learning journeys as one of the Guides on GetSetUp India, helping others improve their wellness through various classes. "So far it is going well. We are getting participants and repeat participants who look forward to coming again and again. The fact they are coming again and again directly speaks that they are liking it. This is a welcome initiative for this age group."
Binda is passionate about making wellness accessible to everyone, regardless of language barriers.
"We also have non-English speaking elders who are just comfortable in local languages. I hope in the future we can offer classes in some regional languages or a combination of regional and English."
Binda’s focus on personal happiness and wellness is at the heart of her approach to teaching.
"You need to be happy and you choose to be happy. No one else can choose to make you happy. External things are time-bound and they will come and go. You have to appreciate the little things—even a hot cup of coffee can make me happy or watching the birds fly by my window is a joy in itself. Those are the moments that can make you happy and you don't have to look for them because they come from within."
Through GetSetUp, Binda offers classes such as Healthy Lifestyle with Yoga, Social Hour: Meditating Together, and Managing and Handling Stress, helping learners manage anxiety and stress while fostering a sense of community.
Lifelong Learning and Making a Difference
Binda’s dedication to lifelong learning drives her to share her knowledge with others. "I’m a learner forever. I am hungry to know more. What little I know I want to share with people and if I can make a difference to someone then I am willing to do that. That has been my way to go forward and continue."
Make time for yourself each day to pursue what you love, whether it's reading, walking, cooking, or joining a GetSetUp class. Learn from Binda or other great Guides, and discover skills that can enhance your wellness. Join the community!
