Vault currently serves over 30,000 members and has a presence in Tier I and Tier II markets such as Delhi-NCR, Bengaluru, Gorakhpur, and Hyderabad. The company plans to focus on Tier III cities, where demand for organized premium fitness facilities is on the rise.⁷

According to Gogia, “Virat Kohli and Vikas Kohli joining Vault as strategic investors marks a key milestone for the brand.” He emphasized that “Vault was built on the idea that premium fitness shouldn’t be exclusive to a handful of metros, it should be accessible, community-driven and consistent, whether you’re training in Delhi or Gorakhpur.”

Vikas Kohli expressed his belief that “India’s next generation of consumer brands would be built around strong communities and differentiated experiences.” He added, “We’re excited to support Vault’s journey as it continues to redefine how India engages with fitness and wellness, creating a scalable and impactful fitness ecosystem for the country’s growing health-conscious population.”
