Talent & Ideas : YouTransform What is the biggest challenge you face either at present or in foreseeable future? How would you like people to remember you and your company? Fitness consulting is a very new concept in India and while there are countless nutritionists and trainers; my approach is very different. I focus on a holistic transformation of mind and body for long lasting results. But at times people still confuse me for a dietician and I have to clarify. So I think it will be a big challenge to introduce this new concept and develop that in this competitive industry which only keeps expanding by the day. I cannot control how people would perceive me and my company but with YouTransform I would strive to be that person who shows people a sustainable path to a healthy, happy and fit life. Startups. A glamorous world of failures? Comment? This sudden spurt of startups recently has provided great opportunities for people like me who want to start something on their own and create something of value. Numerous innovative startups commence and many also shut down shortly after. But it’s better to fail fast and move on to something better than not trying out at all. Startups are a beautiful way to test your idea and make a change. The boom of startups is only a positive thing. ‘Secret to Startup Failure: fail fast, fail cheap, fail happy’. It is important to remember that ‘Success may have the brains, but failure has the balls’ How do you define success and how do you measure up to your own definition? Leaving the world a better place than when I found it. To me that would be success. In order to measure up to that; I take steps each day to improve myself and in turn create a change in the environment I live in. Any message for our readers? Fitness is not just about losing weight, fitting into that outfit or being a size 0. Eating healthy and being active will improve your overall performance at work, energize you, increase your self confidence, help you better pursue your other goals… the benefits are endless. So focus on physical and mental well-being rather than that number on the scale. Let go of the ‘All or nothing’ mentality and make small changes today towards a healthier and happier life. Someone very wise once told me “We are all as malleable as clay, able to transform into anyone with a little effort everyday.” Contact: 9920061383 Email: [email protected]
