FitHolic -Story Behind
As a child, Manish Harinand Kaushik was not even aware of the word ‘entrepreneurship’. He grew up in a small village of Haryana where the actual competition was to get a govt. job. Like everyone else, even though he was not very sure about his career path. He always believed in ‘dreaming bigger’. It was not easy to start, as no one else has even thought about a start-up in his family or friends. Similar to any other middle-class family boy, he left home after 12th and started preparing for govt. jobs. But fortunately or unfortunately, he wasn’t selected. Then in 2019, he started his career as a nutritionist, trained people, athletes, and got sponsored by brands. While doing this he realized that Indian athletes are not getting the right quality nutrition and most of the brands are hiring Bollywood celebrities and bodybuilders for endorsement. In reality, very few were focusing on quality but they were not affordable for athletes.
After Manish Harinand noticed this gap in the market, he decided to begin his start-up and solve this problem. But it wasn’t easy to stand out in this 3900-million-dollar market. His elder brother, who is Serving Indian Navy as a Soldier helped him both financially and emotionally to begin his venture.
Problems
There were 3 major problems in the Indian nutritional supplement market
- Quality 2. Affordability (high prices) 3. Authenticity
Indian Nutritional supplements market was growing very fast for last 2,3 years and many international and national brands were taking entry in the market, but still there was a big gap in the market.
Indian sports nutrition market has been divided into 2 parts: Indian brands and International brands, people consider that international brands have better quality products than Indian brands, while most of these international brands are also getting manufactured in India itself.
When it comes to sports then 70 to 80% athletes and sports persons belong to middle class families and still need a brand which can give them high quality supplements at fair prices.
Almost every brand is claiming that they're giving high quality Nutrition at fair prices but when it comes to verification and lab analysis almost most of them disappoint customers with very inaccurate results and get fail in lab tests and analysis.
