True wealth is in the trust of the masses, which we see play out for Saurabh Bothra, the co-founder of Habuild and one of India’s most recognised digital wellness entrepreneurs. By turning the ancient art of yoga into a daily online practice, he has developed a community and a consistent following.
As of 2026, it is reported that Saurabh Bothra’s net worth will be around ₹45 crore. Also in that year, we see that what he has achieved is proof that when engineering precision is brought to health and wellness solutions, it may be very successful and on a large scale.
Understanding the Income Streams
Building out a wellness ecosystem requires a variety of sustainable revenue models. Saurabh’s, which is to say, financial success largely comes from two core pillars:
- Habuild Digital Wellness Programs: As the founder of Habuild, which has seen great success, we see that a large part of our revenue comes from the structured paid digital yoga we offer. We don’t put out single-class affairs for fitness; instead, we are into the long-term game, which we see play out in a very dedicated global following we have, which is ageless.
- YouTube and Social Media Ecosystem: Social media is the main platform he uses for community engagement. He does live streams of daily sessions, which at the same time are for large audiences. This large digital footprint in turn produces a constant flow of programmatic ad revenue, which we estimate at between 44,000 per month.
From IIT-BHU to the yoga mat.
Saurabh did not follow the traditional route to becoming a wellness icon. Born June 19, 1992, in Nagpur, Maharashtra, he was instilled with values of discipline and hard work at an early age. He went on to get into a very competitive IIT (BHU) in Varanasi and graduated with an engineering degree.
However, in the short while that he was a part of the intense corporate world and academic life, it took a great toll on his health. He was dealing with chronic breathing problems and physical imbalances, which in turn made him turn to yoga as a last resort rather than a career choice. Out of that experience, which in many ways was therapeutic, he decided to do a complete 180 from the traditional corporate desk job to instead devote himself to what would make wellness accessible to the masses.
The Habuild Revolution and World Records
During the time of the global pandemic and the rise in health awareness, a rise which at the same time presented a consistency issue, the base concept for Habuild took shape. With a small, very dedicated team by his side, including himself, Saurabh put forth a community-centred digital workspace. The platform saw great success because it changed the game from complex routines to simple day-to-day movement.
This past year, we saw the company take the world by storm with this innovative approach. Also, which is historic in nature, Saurabh broke the record for the largest live online yoga session in a Guinness World Record and was also certified by the World Records Union for the largest-scale digital wellness programs, which he hosted.
A Strong Foundation: The Part of the Family.
Behind Saurabh’s multi-asset wellness business is a close family unit. His father, who had left their native village of Dhanaj to go to Nagpur to do business, passed down to him a great deal of business sense. Also, a first-time yoga student was his mother; she gave out very honest feedback, which in turn made him remove complex terms in his classes, thus making them very much accessible to the senior citizens.
The entrepreneurship we see is a family affair, which also includes collaboration. His sister Trishala Bothra came back from the U.K. after doing an MBA to run strategic growth and out of the office. Also associated with the Habuild team is Pramod Yadav, who is an endearment to the large group of daily users of their services. He goes by the name of “Chotu” and is a mainstay of the team.
