The Apple Watch has been the favourite of athletes, office-going professionals and health-conscious people because of its decent level of fitness technology.

Imagine transforming yourself daily, unlocking levels for better health and being rewarded with a premium smartwatch — that’s exactly what the “India Gets Moving” scheme promises. In a country where lifestyle diseases like diabetes, stress, hyper stress and belly fat are rising rapidly, this unique initiative is ready to bring technology and fitness together to inspire a healthy India. The cherry on top is that after completing daily goals, you may get a free Apple Watch to keep your mind and track-ready all the time.

Launched as a collaborative effort between HDFC Ergo and an insurance distribution platform, Zopper, the 'India Gets Moving' program is a movement aimed at reshaping how Indians perceive health and wellness. Participants are encouraged to meet personalised fitness goals and earn rewards for staying active to get cashback for using the Apple Watch, a wearable known for one of the best health-tracking features.
