Durgesh Ranjan

I hail from the bustling city of Patna, where I was born into challenging circumstances, as I lost my father even before I could meet him. Despite the adversities that my mother faced, including depression and financial difficulties, she raised me with unwavering fortitude and instilled in me a strong moral compass. Growing up, I was burdened with the expectations of both my relatives, who wanted me to start earning early, and of society, which expected academic excellence from me. To hone my skills and fulfill these expectations, I left my hometown to pursue a B.Tech in Electrical and lived on my own terms.

As a young man, I was always enamored by the discipline and physical prowess of Army personnel and film celebrities, and I aspired to embody these qualities. In college, I joined a gym and experimented with various diets, but my lack of understanding of proper nutrition left me feeling disillusioned and unsatisfied with my progress. After graduation, I secured a job as a software engineer at a prestigious Indian MNC, but soon realized that it was not my true calling. Despite this setback, I persevered and pursued my passion for fitness by obtaining certifications and expanding my knowledge in the field.

My newfound approach to fitness transformed me physically and mentally, and I was driven to share my journey and insights with others. At my workplace, I was able to help my colleague and friend, Suchandra, overcome her weight loss struggles and clinical issues through my scientifically-based fitness advice. This inspired many others in the office, and I continued to offer my consultancy services.

It was during this time that I met Arya, a colleague and friend with a sharp technical mind. Together, we formed an unstoppable triumvirate and decided to launch a fitness consultancy business to make a positive impact on a larger scale. Starting a company was no mean feat, but with my background in business and the technical and advisory support of Suchandra and Arya, we surmounted every obstacle and established a thriving enterprise.

I am proud to have converted my passion for fitness into a meaningful enterprise that positively impacts society. In my company, along with providing fitness consultancy, I also focus on training my coaches to uphold the highest standards of professionalism and impart scientifically-based advice, so that others can reap the benefits of a healthy and fit lifestyle. I strongly advocate for the importance of seeking the guidance of certified coaches, as the shortcuts and toxic advice that some provide can be damaging to one’s health and well-being. It is my sincerest hope that my story will inspire others to pursue their passions and make a difference in the world.
