Build your capacity.

A note from the founder

Why I’m building HRV Club.

Most people I know are good at pushing. They train, build, lead, decide and keep going. The problem isn’t a lack of discipline. Usually it’s the opposite.

Somewhere along the way, many of us lost the ability to come down fully once the demand has passed.

You know the feeling. Your mind is already in the next meeting while you’re sitting in this one. You’re sleeping, but not fully recovering. You’re in the room, but slightly somewhere else.

That’s the gap. Not rest. Not calm. The ability to return to the state you perform best from.

We’ve built an entire culture around output. But the capacity to perform is also shaped by what happens after the effort, when the body gets time to recover, repair and adapt. And that can be trained, the way you’d train a muscle. Heat and cold create controlled stress. Breath gives you a way to stay with it. Recovery teaches the system it can come back down.

I got into all of this almost by accident, because of my elder brother Prashant. He’s spent nearly twenty years teaching yoga, breath and movement around the world. Whenever I had fifteen or twenty days free, my idea of a vacation was to travel with him and learn. Through him I experienced pranayama, sauna, cold water and stillness. I kept coming back because of how I felt after. Clearer in my head. Recovered faster after hard training. More able to meet difficult moments without being consumed by them.

I was doing the thing long before it became the thing I wanted to build.

At the same time, everyone around me had started tracking sleep, HRV, readiness, strain, and newer metrics arriving every few months.

The measurement had arrived before the room had.

There was still no high-quality place where recovery could become a guided, repeatable and social practice.

That’s what HRV Club is. A place built around heat, cold, breath and guided recovery. Somewhere you come after training, after work, after travel, or before an important day. Not to escape stress, but to build more capacity for it, and a faster way back once it’s passed.

People don’t need more recovery options. They need to know what to do, in what order, and in what dose. Over time, we want your sessions to be shaped by how you’re feeling, your training, your sleep and what worked for you before. Not the hardest protocol. Not the one everyone else is doing. The one most likely to help you recover well that day.

India already understood these practices. Pranayama, yoga nidra, breath, heat, cold water. We didn’t lose the knowledge. We lost the room.

I’m building that room again, in a modern format, woven into a normal week rather than saved for a retreat.

And I want to build it carefully. Wellness has earned its skepticism. HRV Club will only claim what it can stand behind. No fear, no miracle language, no playing on insecurities. If your skin looks better, that’s a byproduct of taking care of yourself. The product is nervous system regulation.

The first HRV Club opens on Golf Course Road, Gurgaon. We’re starting with 100 founding members, because the first room sets the culture. From there, the ambition is a new recovery category across India: physical spaces, personalized protocols, and a real understanding of how each person recovers.

If you’ve read this far, you probably recognised something. You don’t need to be told to slow down. You need somewhere real to build your range.

Gurgaon is where it begins.
