Updated on: Mar 18, 2026 7:40 AM IST By Sanya Jain Share via Copy link BharatAgri CEO Siddharth Dialani has revealed that he experienced a “visible decline” in his ability to focus after moving to Koramangala in Bangalore. Dialani, who moved from Mumbai to Bangalore sometime between 2016 to 2017, said that he tried a number of things when he realised that he was unable to do deep work or focus. Siddharth Dialani is the founder and CEO of BharatAgri Reducing coffee and increasing sun exposure did nothing to fix the issue. Neither did working out more or eliminating milk from his diet. Ultimately, it was a change in an ubiquitous item that helped Dialani get his health back on track.“Visible decline”
“When I shifted to Koramangala, Bangalore, I observed a visible decline in my ability to function at work,” the founder and CEO of BharatAgri said in an X post. “I couldn't do deep work, focus or handle stress.” In fact, Dialani even stopped enjoying food as much as he used to. To reset his system, he tried a number of tricks. By his own admission, he stopped drinking milk, started exercising more, increased his sun exposure and tried to reduce caffeine intake. Nothing worked — until a work trip gave him a lightbulb moment.What helped the Bengaluru CEO
Dialani said that during a work trip, he spent time at a hotel where he only drank bottled water. Immediately, he noticed an improvement — he felt more energetic and his gut health improved. “Then, spent some time for a work event at a hotel where I consumed only Bisleri water. And found myself to be very energetic. Gut and mental health felt better,” he said. Since then, the Bengaluru-based founder has been consuming only bottled water. “It has been 4 years since that event and I have been consuming only Bisleri water. The 20L cans are quite affordable,” he revealed.
