Gaurav Bajaj is the director of a fitness studio and a key distributor of Whey Proteins in Rajasthan.
Gaurav was born and raised in Jodhpur, where he also received all his education. He has done B.Com and then MBA. Furthermore, he has been working in this field of fitness and supplements for the past 10 years.
When questioned about the challenges he has encountered in his field, Gaurav says it is extremely difficult to conduct business as people are still unaware of supplements and are unconcerned about how much to consume, what the conditions are, and from whom to get counseling. He says that because his industry is unorganized and does not receive government funding, there is a gap in the availability of sports nutrition courses.
Talking about his role models, Gaurav says he sees himself as his life's role model. He takes pride in saying that everything he has accomplished in life is a result of his diligence, perseverance, and passion.
The COVID experience, according to Gaurav, seemed like a summer vacation where he got to enjoy all the fun things he used to do as a child after a long period of time. He says he spent his time watching movies, trying new foods, and playing traditional forgotten games with his family, which he describes as a form of refreshment.
Gaurav says that in his leisure time, he enjoys working out in his gym, and having a gym is an added advantage. He believes that spending two hours a day in the gym and staying healthy is the finest exercise for his body and mind.
Gaurav advises candidates aspiring to join the fitness field to first pursue a degree, develop their professionalism, and gain work experience in the desired sector as an intern or trainee. He says that success does not happen overnight, so be patient and persistent.
