[Panelist]- My beginnings were humble and simple. I was born in a small village in the state of Punjab, located in the north of India. I came from a very traditional family, and was not permitted to engage in sports. I therefore channeled all my energy into education. I obtained my Bachelor of Arts, and subsequently my Masters in Economics. After working over 8 years in the financial industry, I decided to transition into becoming a full time personal trainer.
