FITPASS, the leading fitness membership marketplace, has announced a major expansion of its leadership and operations teams, aiming to enhance the aggregation and standardization of gyms and fitness centers across India. The company plans to extend its reach to 500 cities by mid-2026, driven by a strategic hiring initiative to bolster its core verticals—network expansion, monetization, sales, and category growth.
Avnish Sharma has been appointed Vice President of Network Growth & Monetisation. With over 14 years of experience at Paytm and Practo, Sharma will spearhead FITPASS’s expansion into tier 2 and tier 3 cities, focusing on profitability and revenue optimization.

Singh will work alongside Mohit Dang, Vice President of Revenue & Partnerships (Corporate Sales), to enhance FITPASS’s corporate partnerships and market penetration.
The expansion also includes several new key hires:
- Manish Prajapati, appointed AVP of Network Growth and Monetisation, will collaborate with Sharma. Prajapati’s background with Apollo and Practo will be pivotal in scaling FITPASS’s network.
- Rishabh Tiwari comes on board as Senior Manager of Network Growth and Monetisation, bringing nine years of market analysis and strategic planning experience to support FITPASS’s expansion strategy.

This expanded team aims to grow FITPASS’s network to over 10,000 locations by the end of 2025 and extend its presence to 1,500-1,600 PIN codes. The focus is not only on expansion but also on driving profitability and staying ahead of industry trends.
