Fittr is focussing on markets like North America, Indonesia, India, and Singapore, Chouksey said.
“Our vision is to become the leading global social platform and marketplace for fitness coaching, and the confidence shown by Surge in this vision is a shot in the arm for Fittr, he added.
“We have grown organically through word-of-mouth and transformation photos shared by Facebook group members. So far, we have transformed over 1,00,000 people and 30 percent of our user base is global, spread across the US, UK, Australia, UAE, and Canada,” Fittr Co-founder Sonal Singh said.
