AMARESH OJHA-With the fitness industry in India riding high on growth, Bengaluru based Gympik is a fitness and health aggregator that has achieved great fame in the industry.
Amaresh Ojha, the Founder and CEO of Gympik, is a renowned name in the health and fitness industry.
Gympik is an online fitness discovery platform with about 9,000 fitness centers and more than 5000 fitness professionals from 20 cities across India. Gympik sees itself as a pioneer in the industry, as it has taken a step to organize this unstructured sector.
Gympik offers cloud-based software and a personalized app for fitness centers to make their offerings more personalized.
An IIM Bangalore alumnus with multidisciplinary expertise and extensive work experience, Amaresh’s passion for Gympik evolved from the idea of marketing a platform that would help people with their fitness and health requirements and provide them with solutions to their fitness problems. The idea originated when one of Amaresh’s friends started looking for a personal trainer. After much forage, unable to find a trainer, it was then that Amaresh realized that finding efficient personal trainers and good fitness institutions were a painstaking job. This gap between the demand for fitness centers and trainers and the supply of the same, led to the business idea of starting an aggregator site for fitness centers.
