5.4 Fitness Wearables - Envisioning a new fitness future - GOQii
Business Problem
 One-third of Indians aged above 30 are victims of lifestyle diseases (high cholesterol, diabetes, thyroid,
blood pressure) as per GOQii India Fit 2017 report. It is found that disruptive lifestyles changes over the
years in India have resulted in lack of exercise, erratic eating habits, unbalanced diet (lacking in
fibre/protein), increase in stress levels and poor sleep patterns leading to these lifestyle diseases.
 Traditional fitness bands only measure the user’s physical activity data but do not have a qualified
personal coach analysing the data and recommending a suitable exercise and diet regime
 Users struggle to find/engage with health coaches. Self-interpretation and management of health data
can prove harmful and sometimes fatal.
 Users need motivation, regular monitoring and a regular interaction with their health coach
Solution Offered
 The GOQii solution consists of fitness activity tracker band (to measure user’s steps, distance travelled,
heart rate etc.) and a remote personalised coaching service through the GOQii app. The band is
Bluetooth paired with the user’s smart phone and the data is transmitted from the band to the user and
to their personal coach.

 Upon registration and activation of GOQii account, the user fills information about his physical activity
and lifestyle/habits and is presented with 3-5 coaches and the user is allowed to choose one. This is
followed with a call between the user and coach and they mutually agree on initial set of goals. The
GOQii app then transmits user’s data to the coach who then monitors and guides the user for adopting a
healthy lifestyle. The user can chat, message or email the coach from the app.
 The service additionally has a social service component, where the user can earn “karma points” which
can be donated for social causes.
 The GOQii band comes free of cost along with a coaching subscription of 3, 6 or 12 months with the
flexibility for the user to either renew the subscription or continue using the band and app for free without
the coach.
Benefits
 Using fitness bands does not make a person fit. It is the data from the band which when analysed by an
expert/coach can lead to advice on suitable exercise regime, lifestyle modification along with constant
motivation and monitoring from the human coach. The GOQii solution is based on successful inter-
working of technology and human connect to bring beneficial results. As reported by IDC in June 2017,
GOQii is the market leader in fitness wearables in India with a 20.8% market share.
 The user is monitored and guided by a trained/certified coach rather than the user monitoring himself
which can prove harmful and fatal.
 The social service component motivates the user to earn “karma points” and use them for donating for
social causes. In May 2017, GOQii reported that it raised INR 4.7 crores through its Karma program
which was used for social causes.
 No forceful bundling of coaching service and mandating the service for the user - after the initial
subscription, the user has the flexibility to renew or else use the band & app for free without the coach.
 GOQii has created a “coach marketplace” and a user can be connected to the world’s best coaches from
any location and based on the type of goals set. This has also enabled qualified coaches to work
remotely and earn a decent monthly income.
