GET FIT WITH GUL
Sushant Chavan, Venture
Head, Mobiefi t, on
partnering with Gul for
Mobiefi t:
“Mobiefi t was launched
in 2015, with the vision to
deliver structured fi tness
training and coaching
programs without the
need of any direct human
intervention or additional
equipment.
“Gul Panag was the perfect
fi t as our founding partner,
being a self-taught runner,
as well as a public fi gure on
the fore of promoting fi tness
among women. Over the
past two years, we’ve built
two separate coaching apps,
launched over 10 unique,
goal-based programs, and
trained over half-a-million
people around the world.
Every month, 2,500+ fi tness
enthusiasts take part in our
virtual challenges to prove
their mettle by running the
farthest, the fastest or doing
the most number of push-
ups, squats and crunches in
a minute. 
“We are making a strong
headway into the corporate
wellness space where we
have deployed our solutions
across 14 corporate such as
Tata Steel, IDFC Bank, Aditya
Birla Capital, Unisys etc.
“We’ve also roped in a
certifi ed nutritionist to create
customised diet-plans that
support each of our training
programs, and help our users
achieve their fi tness goals.
“Going forward, we plan
to create more programs in
varied formats to make them
easily accessible.”

that we like to keep our personal
life private. If you are in showbiz
in India, then your personal life is
under scrutiny but if you want to
keep it private, you can.
“Of course, as far as my fi tness
and health goals are concerned, I
believe that having a supportive
partner is very important for
a happy relationship. And
what makes my journey so
comfortable is my partner’s
support. Staying healthy might
feel like a one-person job but
it’s only possible if your partner
supports you, because I have
seen people who want to be
healthy but their partners forcing
them to indulge (diet wise),
because of which nobody ends
up being fi t.
“I feel it’s very important to
have a partner who understands
the health choices you make,
and your visions in life. Both of us
are particular about making sure
that we are healthy in the years
to come.
“Everyone has those days
when you just don’t want to
exercise or do anything, but he
pushes me saying some exercise
is always better than nothing.
I am blessed as my fi tness
struggle is understood by him.
“Looking back, I cannot recall a
single failure in my life, because I
haven’t seen any personally. So I
would only say that my journey is
full of successes.”
