With the gyms being shut and extended lockdowns, we have seen a surge in home-workouts, leading to a demand for home workout paraphernalia. Our team got thinking about how best we could support our consumers' fitness journey and set the idea of sports and fitness equipment in motion," Afsar Zaidi, co-founder and CEO at HRX, said.
He added that with the ecommerce launch on Flipkart and Myntra, the company is tapping into a new category to aid a larger audience with a better home workout experience.
There is a growing awareness around the importance of leading a healthy and fit lifestyle among consumers from all age groups. At Flipkart, we have seen the demand across this vertical accelerate since last year," Flipkart Senior Director - Private Labels Priya Fotedar said.
