This past weekend, ParkEngage CEO Rajiv Jain participated in the Ironman 70.3 race in Santa Cruz, CA. The race included a 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike ride, and a 13.1 mile half marathon run. After months of training, Rajiv successfully finished the course while competing with athletes from throughout California and beyond.

Rajiv’s participation in the Ironman event was part of an excellent cause. He trained with and raced for the Silicon Valley chapter of “Asha for Education,” a non-profit organization run entirely by volunteers passionate about educating underprivileged children in India. In 2021 alone, Asha Silicon Valley’s coordinated efforts enabled nearly 23,000 underprivileged children in India to dream of a better life. The Asha for Education Ironman team trained and participated together in an effort to raise awareness and financial resources for the organization.

Rajiv stated, ““While at ParkEngage have built a great company serving the parking industry, we love to have fun and maintain a good balance of hard work, wellness, family, and giving back to community.”

Congratulations to all of the participants in this amazing race!

decisions.
