Manoj, an avid runner and accomplished Abbott World Major 6-star finisher, resides in Princeton, NJ, with his wife and two children, aged 19 and 15. Running holds a special place in his heart. Before 2015, fitness wasn't a top priority for him, but the loss of his father prompted a significant shift. In his search for a healthier lifestyle, Manoj explored various sports and found solace in running around 2016/2017.

Since then, he has completed over 30 marathons and has become a cornerstone in activities like mountaineering. Manoj proudly highlights his achievements in scaling various mountains, including notable summits like Cotopaxi, Kilimanjaro, and Mt. Whitney. Fueled by a strong thirst for adventure, he even embraced the Ironman challenge despite lacking swimming skills.
