Southeast Asia, it is time to hit the gym.

Who doesn't want washboard abs and to look great in a bikini? 'Fitness' is a broad term and includes everyone from the Arnold Schwarzenegger wannabe to the midlife crisis weekend warrior, to the spinach-eating spin class goer, to the ultra-marathon runner. For some, the goal is to get a six-pack. For others, it is a means to live longer and better. However, every fitness enthusiast is united by a common aspiration - the desire to become better than they currently are. No matter the method-- weights, HIIT, Pilates, or running, we all have the desire to be in shape. The number of gyms and fitness centers is growing rapidly, as more and more people aspire to reach their fitness goals. In this modern day and age, it is difficult to walk the streets without finding gyms and fitness studios everywhere. They've sprouted like mushrooms and have proliferated widely.

Why We Doubled Down On Our Partnership With Nuguru: Backing a Global Initiative in Revolutionizing Healthy Eating

At DSG Consumer Partners, we have been tracking the evolution of health and wellness since we started in 2012. Our conviction in the category led us to invest in Nuguru in early 2020 when Vikram Rupani (co-founder of Redmart, a DSGCP portfolio company acquired by Lazada) started working on the idea for a new chapter in his entrepreneurial journey. We love to partner with visionary founders even at the inception stage on Day 1. Over the past three years, the DSGCP team has been privileged to accompany Nuguru on its journey of incorporation, transformation, and international growth. We are pleased to support and collaborate with Vikram and a fully built ace team to pivot the business model from its initial foray with the “Clean-in-15” program to today's harmonized approach to wellness.
