Brick by brick, passion compiling ounces of hope and a spiritual inner calling directing towards that one desire defines the mantra for success. Nobody has ever said that it will be easy but you gotta do it if you want it. But one strange thing lies in the fact that our physical and psychological power has a profound connection and one cannot survive without the other. Humanity should conserve the mandate that strength can come in both the forms of mind and body.
Business Outreach Magazine urges you to sink into that holy frequency and understand the urgency of a fit and healthy life. A life that is laid on the foundation of trust by diving into the realm of bench presses and squats.
Yes! It is certain that you will feel that electricity within you when we bring you the tale of The Calcutta Fitness Studio, the premium chain of gym facilities in the city of joy, Kolkata. What is more interesting for us is that in spite of providing high-quality equipment and training sessions, the startup believes in offering packages at a much more affordable rate. More on this later!
The Calcutta Fitness Studio or TCF is the brainchild of Sayantan Karmakar, who has had an acumen towards fitness and workouts since a very young age. Although Sayantan started his career in Cognizant Technological Solutions (CTS) as a Programmer Analyst, he wanted to build something he could call his own.
As an employee working for CTS for about 2 years, he finally decided to diversify his career into entrepreneurship and took the leap of faith. In full transparency, this was not easy as it sounded. After completing a B.Tech degree from Techno India Salt Lake, Sayantan wanted to build a software application first and one day when he went to renew his gym membership, the authorities were finding it difficult to fetch Sayantan’s past invoice records. And at this very moment, Sayantan decided to create a gym software named ‘Digifit Soft’.
TCF is the culmination of this software when Sayantan moved mountains to sell this to gym owners and received tremendous backlash. Eventually, hard work paid off and more than 250 gyms bought the software. The revenue from this was forwarded to create the first outlet in Behala in August 2018, the second outlet in Baghajatin in 2019 followed by a massive 7,000 sq feet outlet in Naktala in 2021, right in the middle of the pandemic. Did you see how every small effort took TCF to be one of the most reputable premium gyms in Kolkata?
With several facilities in Gariahat, Behala, Park Circus, and Jadavpur, TCF provides packages starting at just Rs. 1,000 a month in Gym, Zumba, MMA, Hiit, Yoga, Tabata, Steam, Diet Counseling, Bombay Jam, and also swimming sessions under one roof. They have served more than 7,000 members to date and invite you to join the community. Sayantan Karmakar, the founder of Calcutta Fitness Studio won awards like NIFS Young Achiever, 100 Influencer Indians by Fox Story, and many others. When COVID-19 was in full swing and gyms were shut, TCF held onto its dream and sustained itself with the high monthly rents for the facilities. Such resilience can only portray the brand’s faith towards its skills and expertise. Sayantan Karmakar coming from a middle-class Bengali family trusts his gut and says to us, ” Don’t be a naysayer, always grab the opportunity that is coming your way” and we can be second to that.
