MillD Protein Atta co-founder Sivaram Briyas has shared how grueling work schedules led him to spend four months in intensive care. Briyas admitted that even weekends were not a respite, as he frequently worked on Sundays, visiting factories and answering calls. His dedication to work left him feeling mentally drained, with his mind preoccupied by inventory numbers.
Eventually, his health deteriorated, requiring him to spend four months in ICU. During his hospital stay, Briyas reflected on the advice of his doctors who explained that the body heals during rest, not during physical exertion. This experience led him to reconsider his work-life balance and recognize the value of stepping away from work.
