FITTR said:

  • Online fitness communities.
  • Health and lifestyle transformation programs.
The company has built a large user base by combining technology-driven coaching with community engagement.
The investment highlights the increasing participation of athletes in India's startup ecosystem. Many sports personalities are now investing in sectors such as fitness, health technology, consumer brands, and digital platforms, leveraging both their capital and public influence.
For Rohit Sharma, the investment aligns closely with his long-standing emphasis on fitness and athletic performance, while giving him a direct stake in the growth of the fitness-tech sector.
