Policybazaar COO learnt patience & resilience from golf

Sharat Dhall, COO, Policybazaar.com, loves playing golf, but when the country went into lockdown in March, his favourite weekend activity was put on hold. “I am an avid golfer and missed my golf sessions during the first few months of the lockdown,” he says.

Even after the golf club opened its doors, it hasn’t been the same. “It felt weird to be back. A huge part of the game is hanging out with your buddies, but here we are, wearing masks and maintaining social distance in separate carts,” he says.
