India’s healthcare system is largely built around treatment. By the time many people seek medical help, lifestyle conditions such as diabetes, arthritis, hypertension, and mobility-related issues have already progressed. Preventive care, physical activity, nutrition, and consistent lifestyle discipline often receive less attention than they deserve.
Kinetic Age, founded by Akshat Saxena in September 2025, is working to change this by making holistic, outcome-driven wellness programmes more accessible. The company combines physiotherapy, nutrition, doctor consultations, yoga, and physical training to help people improve mobility, manage lifestyle conditions, and maintain long-term health. Its inspiration came from a personal experience: Akshat helped his mother avoid knee replacement surgery through a structured regimen of physiotherapy, nutrition, and physical training.
From Global Product Roles to Preventive Health
Before founding Kinetic Age, Akshat built a career in product management across international markets. He studied engineering at MIT Manipal, where he gained exposure to diverse cultures and people, before working with companies including Gojek in Indonesia and Maersk in Denmark. His professional journey also took him to London, Dubai, and Riyadh. While these roles gave him experience in product development, operations, and scaling technology-led businesses, his interest in health became deeply personal. Akshat’s own experience with hypothyroidism and paralysis highlighted the importance of physical activity in maintaining health. Later, when his mother faced a knee-related condition, he sought a combination of physiotherapy, nutrition, and physical training rather than immediately opting for surgery. That experience became the foundation for Kinetic Age. “The goal is to help people improve their health through movement, nutrition, and consistent lifestyle discipline not only treat problems after they arise.”
Why the Name Kinetic Age?
The name Kinetic Age reflects the company’s belief that movement is essential across every stage of life. “Kinetic” represents motion and physical activity, while “Age” signifies that health needs evolve across age groups. Although the company primarily serves people aged 40 and above, it also serves younger customers through Kind, its recently launched on-demand wellness brand. The mission is to encourage a broader shift in India towards physical wellness and lifestyle discipline. Akshat believes India can learn from cultures where daily movement, preventive care, and healthy routines are more deeply embedded in everyday life.
A Holistic, Outcome-Driven Model
Kinetic Age differentiates itself by offering more than standard clinical services. Its programmes are designed to be outcome-driven and holistic, combining multiple dimensions of health. A typical subscription includes:
- Physiotherapy.
- Nutrition guidance.
- Doctor consultations.
- Yoga classes.
- Physical training.
- Concierge services.
The company currently operates primarily in Bengaluru. Rather than focusing only on isolated treatments, Kinetic Age addresses the wider factors that influence health, physical mobility, nutrition, emotional well-being, and consistent habit formation.
Strong Indicators of Trust
Kinetic Age’s early performance suggests strong customer trust. The company maintains a refund ratio of under 2%, while referrals contribute approximately 30% of recent monthly revenue, which has reached around ₹25 lakh. Its retention rate is approximately 59%. According to Akshat, some customers leave after achieving their health goals, which reflects the outcome-oriented nature of the programmes. These metrics are important in a wellness market where trust, consistency, and visible results often determine whether customers continue with a programme. The company is targeting annual revenue of close to ₹10 crore by the end of the year, while keeping monthly burn limited to around ₹5 lakh.
A Founder Team Built Around Complementary Skills
Kinetic Age’s founding team consists of five members, each responsible for a different part of the business:
- Akshat – Product management.
- Amoud – AI and technology.
- Shorya – Analytics.
- Avi – Sales and marketing.
- Vignesh – Physical training.
Vignesh was originally Akshat’s mother’s trainer. His performance in helping her improve mobility and avoid surgery played an important role in shaping the company’s early approach. The team’s initial focus was on finding product-market fit. Digital advertising helped the company acquire leads at a relatively low cost, allowing it to test its model and refine its service offering.
Healthcare as an Operations Problem
Akshat believes healthcare is fundamentally an operations-heavy problem. Delivering consistent, personalised care at scale requires more than good clinical expertise. It also requires reliable scheduling, trained professionals, data management, and quality control. His experience at Gojek has influenced how Kinetic Age approaches these challenges. The company uses technology to manage complex logistics, ensure trainer reliability, track session timing, and create individualised exercise regimens based on customer history. “Technology is essential to ensure quality at scale.” By using customer data and structured systems, Kinetic Age aims to provide hyper-personalised care across thousands of sessions without compromising consistency.
Scaling Beyond Metro Cities
Kinetic Age’s current model is human-led and premium, which works well in Bengaluru but may be difficult to scale affordably in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities such as Lucknow or Jaipur. To expand across India, the company plans to use AI-driven software to reduce its dependence on high-cost human intervention. The goal is to offer affordable training programmes at prices as low as ₹500 per month. This would allow Kinetic Age to reach a much larger population while retaining elements of personalisation through data, digital guidance, and remote support. The transition from human-led services to AI-enabled models will need to be managed carefully. Maintaining quality, personalisation, and trust will be critical as the company scales beyond its current premium offering.
Building a Culture of Ownership
Kinetic Age’s internal culture is built around seven core values, including ownership, honesty, emotional and intellectual balance, and earning trust. Performance is managed through weekly targets set by managers using a structured dashboard system. This creates accountability while helping teams stay focused on measurable outcomes. For Akshat, culture is not only about internal values. It also shapes how the company serves customers, manages healthcare professionals, and maintains consistency as it grows.
A One-Stop Platform for Health and Wellness
Looking ahead, Kinetic Age aims to become a one-stop platform for health and wellness needs within the next five years. Its long-term vision includes:
- Expanding preventive health programmes across India.
- Using AI to make personalised wellness more affordable.
- Serving customers in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities.
- Building a wider ecosystem of physiotherapy, nutrition, fitness, and medical support.
- Helping people manage lifestyle conditions through consistent movement and habit formation.
For Akshat Saxena, the larger opportunity is to shift India’s approach to health from reactive treatment to preventive care. Kinetic Age is still early in its journey, but its model reflects an important idea: better health is not built only in hospitals or through medication. It is built through movement, nutrition, guidance, and consistent daily habits.
By combining human expertise with technology, the company aims to make that kind of care more accessible first in Bengaluru, and eventually across India.
