Igniting a global wellness revolution, Habuild, an accidental startup born amidst India's nationwide lockdown, has become one of the country's fastest-growing platforms for holistic well-being.
Founded by Saurabh Bothra and Pramod Yadav, Habuild connected individuals worldwide through yoga. The platform initially offered free Zoom and YouTube lessons, providing solace and exercise during uncertain times. Surpassing expectations, the viewer counts quickly rose to 1,500, prompting the introduction of a nominal fee for continued participation.
Beyond the lockdown, Habuild thrived, attracting over 10 lakh individuals globally and boasting an active membership of 42,000. With earnings nearing $2 million, the platform's success lies in its core value of building healthy habits.
Led by Saurabh Bothra, Sheetal Pungliya, Trishala Bothra, and Anshul Agarwal, Habuild emphasizes the significance of committing to exercise in any form, whether a simple walk or a comprehensive yoga routine. Through gradual progression, participants are introduced to breathing exercises, meditation, and various physical activities, reaping holistic benefits.
At the heart of Habuild is a strong sense of community. In addition to daily yoga sessions, the platform offers events centered around journaling, face yoga, and fasting. While inconvenient for some, the commitment to live sessions and the absence of recordings have yielded positive outcomes.
As Habuild continues to flourish from Pune and Nagpur, its founders lead by example. Saurabh Bothra embodies the yoga lifestyle, prioritizing daily exercise, eating before sunset, and observing moments of silence.
From its humble beginnings to a global yoga movement, Habuild inspires individuals seeking wellness, community, and the transformative power of movement.
