Founder Speaks-

“In India, fitness has been looked at as a health problem and that is not how it should be positioned.  People rush to a hospital for almost every fitness related issue too.  We have seen that changing and that has also been evident from the rise of participative events in the country, specifically running, walking and cycling.  We are learning that preventing a condition is rather beneficial than treating it. 

We see the industry at a deflection point and we are at the right place right now.  The prevalence of obesity and overweight index going up is a huge matter of worry but the upside is that all of these are addressable by doing things right, and consistently.  We look forward to being able to be a companion of these ~150 million people in the country as their virtual fitness companion, today and every day.”

- Vikas Singh, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Fitpage
