Company Profile
Having known each other for a while, who knew an underused gym membership and the eagerness to be an entrepreneur would bind Shivjeet Ghatge, CEO, StepSetGo, Misaal Turakhia, Chief Product Officer, StepSetGo, and Abhay Pai, Chief Technology Officer, StepSetGo to create a product that would motivate people to stay fit, and not give up within a few months.
StepSetGo, started in January 2019, was launched as India’s first fitness platform that encourages users to walk more and in return get rewarded for that.

As a result of their unique value proposition, StepSetGo was quickly popularised through word of mouth, has over 5 million downloads to date, and a rating of 4.1 on Play Store.
The trio has come a long way in just one and a half years. Just like any other business, they began working out of their individual homes, moving on to set up operations from Misaal’s dad’s office to now owning their own space.
