Vishesh Goel was a CA by profession and is an explorer at heart. As a consultant with Ernst and Young, where he spent six years, Goel was learning the tricks of the trade; but he always had an eye for entrepreneurship. The seed to his idea (FitMeIn) was planted when he was slogging for 14-16 hours a day at his workstation without any physical activity as such and was only getting into new and bigger pants on a monthly basis. He opted for fitness centers to help him de-stress. However, he was only bogged down by the rigid and stringent norms of these centers. Flexi work hours was still an alien concept back then. That is when he thought of FitMeIn. During his hectic work schedule, he takes out time for a game of Lawn Tennis and would love to go about the unfinished business of learning to play the Saxophone.
