India's Wellness Paradox: The Sumaya 7 | S02E09

India has 100 million diabetics. 47% of the population is overweight. And we are the most wellness-educated generation in history. That's the paradox.

Sumaya Dalmia has been transforming bodies and building businesses since 1997 — before fitness was even an industry in India. She's Vogue's Celebrity Trainer of the Year, WEF's Entrepreneur of the Decade in Health & Wellness, and the architect of a 7-pillar framework that changed how Aman manages his own health.

The Sumaya 7: Eat. Move. Train. Sleep. Measure. Recover. Repeat.

In this episode we cover:

Sumaya's origin story — from overweight kid to javelin thrower to celebrity trainer
Training the Indian cricket team under Andrew Leapers alongside Sachin Tendulkar
Scaling a gym empire from 1 to 10 locations
India's slow-motion health pandemic: diabetes, carb culture, and the wellness paradox
The Sumaya 7 framework — pillar by pillar
Wearable tech: Whoop, CGM monitors, Garmin, Oura Ring
Uploading 13 years of blood reports into Claude AI
GLP-1 drugs going generic in India: Mounjaro, Ozempic, and what it means
