“We started our business with fitness equipment, and that continues to grow for us over 100% year on year for the last four or five years,” Pallav Bihani told. “As we build out a larger fitness powerhouse in the coming years, activewear, exercise, and footwear will become crucial. We are actively exploring and building these categories, which contribute significantly to our business.”
