Doha:Qatar TEC, a leading manpower company in Qatar, has honoured Captain Deepak Mahajan, a distinguished commercial pilot and internationally acclaimed marathon and endurance runner, in recognition of his extraordinary achievements in long-distance running and his inspiring commitment to fitness and discipline.
The felicitation ceremony was held at the Qatar TEC office. The management of Qatar TEC praised Captain Mahajan not only for his remarkable athletic accomplishments but also for his ability to balance a demanding professional career in aviation with rigorous endurance training, thereby setting an exceptional example for youth and working professionals alike.
Captain Deepak Mahajan has successfully completed several prestigious marathons and ultra-endurance races across different countries, earning admiration for his mental toughness, perseverance, and consistency.

In his response, Captain Deepak Mahajan expressed heartfelt gratitude to Qatar TEC for the recognition and encouragement. He emphasized the importance of fitness in maintaining both physical and mental well-being, especially for professionals in high-responsibility careers. He also encouraged young people to adopt sports as a lifelong habit rather than a short-term pursuit.
