Thus providing a state of the art training experience.

Pratik is a Indian creative with a multi disciplinary background in Industrial design and mechanical engineering. He followed his calling to be an industrial designer to achieve his lifelong goal of becoming an innovator. He is driven with a goal of solving meaningful and real world problems hence often undertakes projects which are his own observed problems. The Hydra resistance trainer product came from such a self observed problem when he was working as a Lifeguard at his university swimming pool.
