Do one thing each day that scares you: Praveshh Gaur, Founder and Director Srauta Wellness
The Proust Questionnaire is a questionnaire about one’s personality. It has its origins in a parlour game popularised by Marcel Proust, the French essayist, who believed that, in answering these questions, an individual reveals his or her true nature.
Praveshh Gaur is a management professional and entrepreneur, driven by a passion for fitness. Gaur established Srauta Wellness in 2018 with the aim of giving people a complete wellness package, by bringing everything from a gym to naturopathy treatments under one roof. He also manages companies like 'FastFit', 'Cafe Five Koshas' and Speedways Mega Trucking. Here are his responses to our Proust questionnaire...
