3. THE IDEA GENERATION
Prashant talwalkar was a keen cricketer but didn’t quite
make it to top league so, he decided to join his family
business.
He identified the gap that is prevailing in the fitness
segment and worked on it.
He changed Talwalkars from a company that ran
gymnasiums , to one that runs health clubs and spas.
He changed the business which used to struggle to
open 3-4 gyms a year to one that comfortably opens
30-40 gyms in a year now.

8. The Execution…..
Talwalkar select location for the opening of new gym
with population above 0.6 million.
To avoid any direct competition from other gym they
make sure they should open at least 1 km away from

As they operate in service sector they make sure that
people should have the same feel of Talwalkar
anywhere they are working out.
All the customers are served by well trained
professionals and not by learners or trainees.
They use hands on management technique in order
to control the whole process which includes working
on customer feedback to management.
