Bringing together some of India’s most influential figures from the worlds of sports, cinema, lifestyle, and wellness, the conclave will feature prominent names such as Rohit Shetty, Olympic medallist Saina Nehwal, World Cup-winning cricketer Harbhajan Singh, Saiyami Kher and Jackky Bhagnani, among others, all of whom embody the values of discipline, fitness and perseverance.

Through a series of interactive panels and thought-provoking sessions, the conclave aims to serve as a premier platform to discuss India’s evolving fitness ecosystem, focusing on its business potential, social relevance and its role in building a healthier, active nation.

“This is the time to consolidate the business of wellness and fitness. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had already set the ball rolling with the Fit India movement and we all have to come together to take this forward. India is a young nation, but with a high rate of lifestyle diseases. We must all join hands to conquer this. I am delighted that so many top celebrities have come forward to take the mission of fitness and wellness forward,” said Dr. Mandaviya.

The conclave will also feature discussions that highlight the intersection of fitness and entertainment, with filmmaker Rohit Shetty sharing insights from his personal fitness journey and reflecting on the role of cinema in inspiring healthier lifestyles. Olympian Saina Nehwal will recount stories from her own battles with fitness and injury during her sporting career.

“This is a great opportunity to hear from the celebrities what they think of fitness and wellness. This is also an opportunity to hear from the industry leaders who manufacture fitness equipment for the gyms we have in the cities. I am hoping to get some excellent insights on how the ecosystem works,” added Dr. Mandaviya.

A major highlight of the conclave will be a showcase of the milestones and initiatives of the Fit India Movement, reinforcing its mission to create a fitter, stronger and more self-reliant Bharat. The event will conclude with a felicitation ceremony honouring Fit India Ambassadors and Fit India Icons for their inspiring contributions to the nation’s fitness movement.
