Experience the Journey of Transformation, Impact, and Personal Growth
Finding Purpose and Impacting Lives
As a lost 17-year-old in the Indian education system, I followed the path of becoming an engineer without a clear sense of purpose. However, it was the experiences, friendships, and adventures during my college years that shaped who I am today, earning me the gaming alias 'Harry.'
Everything changed on December 26, 2008, when I joined relief operations after a devastating tsunami struck Nagapattinam, Tamil Nadu. Witnessing the pain of children who had lost loved ones sparked a desire within me to impact human lives.
Leaving my corporate job, I joined Teach for India (TFI) as a fellow from 2013 to 2015, teaching and mentoring 56 children from a low-income school in Pune. This experience solidified my passion for making a difference. I then worked in a leadership role at a not-for-profit EdTech company, improving learning outcomes for 10,000 children across seven Indian cities.
Discovering the transformative power of sports, nutrition, and training, I became a fitness coach in 2019, helping over 70 clients achieve their fitness goals sustainably. Collaborating with people, understanding their needs, and improving their quality of life brings me immense joy and purpose. My goal as a coach is to positively impact as many lives as possible.
Embracing Fitness as a Lifelong Adventure
In high school, I battled being overweight due to unconditional love and plenty of food. However, in August 2004, a combination of college meals, involvement in NCC, games, and resistance training helped me shed pounds and gain body confidence.
Sadly, I began associating my self-worth with my physique, falling into the trap of yo-yo dieting and an all-or-nothing mindset. This continued until May 2015.
Desperate to lose weight after leaving my Teach for India fellowship, I pushed myself too hard and suffered an ankle injury and hip bone fall in September 2015.
During a two-year period (2016-2017), I experimented with various training and diets, but none provided lasting results. I realized internet research wasn't enough.
In May 2018, I decided to learn from reputable organizations and coaches, embracing continuous learning. I developed a passion for understanding nutrition and training, aiming to detach self-worth from specific body image.
I've come to realize that fitness is a lifelong adventure promoting physical, mental, and social well-being. We all have unique needs, requiring personalized support and guidance.
