Jitendra Chouksey (better known as JC) is the winner of the Businessworld Young Entrepreneur Award 2020 and a first-generation fitness entrepreneur. He took a simple idea of helping his friends get fit over WhatsApp and turned it into a 100-million-dollar enterprise. Today, Fittr has trained and transformed more than 2,00,000 people from around the globe, provided livelihood to hundreds of people and, most importantly, has democratized fitness. With a community spanning over 104 countries and 2 million people, Fittr is one of the hottest Indian startups backed by the likes of Sequoia Capital and Suniel Shetty.
