The name Habuild comes from ‘Habit Building,’ which reflects our community’s core mission of making wellness and healthy habits a daily practice.
We make habit-building simple and achievable by focusing on 3 key principles:
Make it Simple: Break down routines into small, manageable steps.
Create a Support System: Surround yourself with a supportive community.
Trust in Yourself: Believe in your ability to create lasting change.
At first, every world record begins with a simple idea, and this was ours: to make habit-building a daily practice. These are just not numbers but something that sparks ideas, passion, hard work and dedication to create an impact together for the community.
Saurabh’s journey:
Our visionary and co-founder, Saurabh, didn’t start with yoga with the goal of just getting fit. It was more than that, it all started with curiosity, values and the will to do something good for society.
He has always been very eager to explore things that bring value to every aspect of life. At 20, he started practicing Surya Namaskar regularly, letting his curiosity guide him to deeper secrets of yoga.
Whenever he had the chance, he would attend classes to refine his knowledge and practice. It was only after IIT that he began teaching yoga, driven by the belief that more people should experience its transformative power and become healthy. True to his nature, he didn’t just think about it, he acted on that curious ambition, and we are here today as the Habuild community with the same vision and mission.
From 2014 to 2020, He embarked on a journey across India, teaching and volunteering in cities like Mumbai, Kanpur, Banaras, Delhi, Pune, and more. It all started with that one Yoga Class when he was just 19 years old, and since then, his love for yoga has only continued to grow.
After the lockdown, Saurabh was inspired to make yoga a daily habit for everyone. The idea was just to make a structured wellness routine for all age groups from the comfort of their homes. His mother also played a key role in motivating him to promote discipline and consistency, as she also enjoyed joining his sessions as an audience. Her unwavering support and belief in discipline and consistency became his biggest motivation, shaping the foundation of Habuild with love and purpose.
What started with just three students quickly grew to 1,500, and today, over 300,000 people join Habuild every single day. Even before making any world records, our only mission was to make yoga a part of every household. The world record was just a means to achieve this, spreading the love for yoga globally.
This incredible journey is a testament to the power of community, consistency, and the belief that small habits can lead to life-changing transformations.

However, what unfolded on June 21, 2024, was beyond our imagination. We were able to set a new benchmark in the journey of wellness.
And this day, we broke our own record by showcasing the beauty of the limitless potential that human connection can bring together. This moment really changed our perceptions about technology and how it can impact such a huge population so positively and can bring wellness into homes across the globe.
