IIT Grad's ₹11 Daily Yoga Habit Reaches 12M People

Saurabh Bothra saw a problem that scared him more than any engineering exam. In India, 71% of deaths come from lifestyle diseases like diabetes and heart disease, conditions we can actually prevent.

Instead of accepting this as normal, the IIT graduate created something beautifully simple. He started a yoga class on WhatsApp and YouTube that costs just ₹11 per day.

Three people joined his first Zoom session. Today, 600,000 people show up every single morning across 169 countries.

The platform is called Habuild, and it's reached 12 million people total. No fancy equipment needed. No expensive gym memberships. Just a phone and the decision to show up for yourself each day.

Bothra didn't build another fitness app promising quick results. He built something that understands the truth about health: it's not about perfection, it's about consistency.

The Ripple Effect

The numbers tell a story about hunger for accessible wellness. When something reaches 169 countries, it means people everywhere are looking for the same thing: a sustainable way to take care of themselves.

At ₹11 per day, Habuild costs less than most people spend on snacks. That pricing wasn't an accident. It makes health accessible to people who've been told wellness is only for those who can afford expensive studios and personal trainers.

The daily format matters too. Half a million people waking up and choosing movement creates a global community of accountability. You're not alone on your yoga mat. You're part of something bigger.

This approach fights lifestyle diseases the same way they develop: one day at a time. You don't get diabetes from one bad meal, and you don't reverse it with one workout. Habuild gets that.

The platform proves something important about solving big health problems. Sometimes the answer isn't more complex medicine or cutting-edge technology. Sometimes it's making the simple solutions actually reachable for regular people.

Twelve million people now have a tool that helps them show up for their health every single day.
