My Back Story
My name is Vishak
I grew up in a small town called Ooty, situated in the state of Tamil Nadu, India. Although my roots are in Kerala, "The Gods Own Country"
Lived in a joint family. Cousins, Uncles Auntys - You know - until I was 15 and we moved out. Since I was the only child to my parents, moving out had a big impact on me. Felt isolated. So, I had to find new friends and so I did. Had them until I finished my master's.
I always had a passion for music. Not just listening but creating. I never played any instruments. But I was a big fan of Rap - so I wrote songs to rap. I was a big fan of EDM - so I learned to DJ. Things in my passion area were good. Because I wasn't passionate but obsessed with whatever I was doing.
As most of you know, leaving home is a big deal in India. Family and friends gathered at home to send me to the city which was just 180 Miles from my place to get a job.
After 2 months of struggle, I did. I landed a job in a corporate bank - Australia & New Zealand Banking Group Ltd. in Bangalore.
Although the bank paid my bills, my heart was on DJ. Didn't take it anywhere and found something that really sparked my flair. Fitness.
In 2012, I started training. I was 93 Kilos and obese when I was 24. Did that consistently for a long time. And have no plans of stopping it.
In 2013, I had a back injury. Went a little heavy on the Deadlift and broke my lower back. It was L4 and L5. Was bedridden for over 3 months. Was in so much pain and hit with severe depression. The pain of not being able to work out was excruciating.
Although Doctors told me I will never be able to work out, I got back much stronger.
2019 - I quit my Corporate banking. Some people can never be boxed and I happened to be one of them. Started the journey of entrepreneurship. Registered my company in 2019 Feb along with my colleague. Had no idea what am I going to do though.
My friends, colleagues, boss - everyone told me that you might want to think about it. Pretty much my world was against / not with my decision. I had to do what I had to do. After 6 months, my partner/colleague quit. I had no partner - no job - no product to sell. Going back to a job was never an option.
Started off with Fitness, Health, & Advanced Nutrition. That went well. But after a year or so, I had an existential crisis. After years of pondering into the quest, things dawned on me.
Peak performance is something that is fundamentally lacking and that's a crucial component for entrepreneurs and business leaders. Which is why people are having mediocre results.
Simply because of lack of performance. Mentally and Physically.
And then, POWER DYNAMICS was born.
