The roots of the WQ community really go deep…to around 20 years back. Websites themselves were a novelty and for sure there was no hint of social media.
Fast food was gaining foot around the country and plastic the new glass. Nobody worried about climate change or toxins. Drugs and medicines were the hope for the entire world for anything and everything because it was science at its best. Sustainability had not become the buzz word yet. The media was talking about how India will become the Diabetes capital of the world in the next 10 years but nobody really believed it.
Though the leaders of the community have been practising, preaching and promoting the pillars of wellness since over a decade and a half, it was only just over 2 years back that it took the shape in which it is today. It was a combination of social media, prevalence of fintech and software tools and the push that Covid gave, that accelerated the growth and establishment of the community.
The WQ community is a group of over 700+ committed individuals spread across the globe who are passionate about changing the world around them through living the principles of healthy living. Each one of them have been instrumental in bringing the community to where it is today. But there are always some people who need to take the baton, take the lead and shoulder the load of the day to day working and establishment. As others rise up to the challenge, the load gets shared and the pie becomes bigger for all. Here are a few people who have been instrumental in the first phase of 2 years to bring the community from zero to where it is today.
Ankur, a BTech in EE from IIT Delhi, on one of his work trips, got introduced to the business of preventive healthcare. He had no idea that it will become the next trillion dollar industry or the need for every human being on the planet. His marriage with Taru was fate’s definitive direction to ultimately reach where we are today. They started building a business helping people stay healthy using natural supplementation and started seeing huge success. One thing led to the other and their team spread around the world.
Arpan and Nidhi both don degrees in management from the prestigious IIM Ahmedabad. They bring a vision and creativity that is simply world class and have been instrumental in shaping the structure, deciding the direction and casting the vision of the future.
Iniyan, with degrees in engineering and business management, was the one who came up with the name Wellness Quotient and has been the backbone that keeps everything together and moving. Unna had to handle the backend processes to bring the community to a uniform operation and they together create the foundation on which this community can stand tall.
There are new leaders emerging every day who will in the coming years etch their place in the leadership team because more is always merrier when the goals are clear and the intentions pure. Kamlesh & Shweta, Mohsin & Umaya, Deepak & Shalini, Ratish & Chandrika and many more people are the reason that this community believes it can have a presence across the world and achieve its goal of impacting 10,000 people live healthier lives.
