Premium franchise-led fitness chain Vault by Virat Kohli has announced the onboarding of cricketer and entrepreneur Virat Kohli and his brother Vikas Kohli as strategic investors, formalising a combined 28% equity stake in the company.
The investment will support the company’s ambitious expansion plans, enabling it to strengthen its footprint across India through its franchise partner-led growth strategy.
Founded in 2023 by Mukesh Gogia, Vault by Virat Kohli is a premium fitness and wellness chain focused on delivering an integrated fitness experience. The company collaborates with leading fitness equipment and recovery brands, including Matrix, Torque USA, Precor, and Hyperice, to provide state-of-the-art strength training, cardio, and recovery facilities.
Vault’s fitness ecosystem combines advanced equipment, structured training programmes, recovery-focused spaces, and lifestyle wellness services, catering to the growing demand for premium fitness experiences in India.
Headquartered in Delhi, the company currently operates across several Tier I and Tier II cities, including Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, Gorakhpur, and Hyderabad. As part of its next growth phase, Vault plans to expand into Tier III cities, capitalising on the increasing demand for organised and premium fitness infrastructure beyond metropolitan markets.
According to the company, its network currently serves over 30,000 members. Following the revised equity structure, Vault aims to expand its network to more than 50 operational clubs by the end of the year, with club sizes ranging from approximately 6,000 square feet to 25,000 square feet.
The strategic investment by Virat Kohli and Vikas Kohli is expected to strengthen the brand’s long-term vision of building one of India’s leading premium fitness franchise networks while accelerating its nationwide expansion.
