01. MY JOURNEY

My journey with bodybuilding started when I was 19 years old in Mumbai. What began as simply training and wanting to improve my physique gradually became a lifelong pursuit that has now spanned more than 25 years, three Australian cities and multiple competitive bodybuilding stages.

After moving from Mumbai to Australia, training remained a constant part of my life. I trained while living in Sydney, then Brisbane, and now Melbourne, continually learning more about training, nutrition and what it takes to build and maintain a competitive physique.

02. FROM FIRST SHOW TO NATIONAL CHAMPION

I first stepped on stage with ICN at 33. I didn't do particularly well. That experience taught me just as much as some of the competitions I would later win. I returned in 2015 and placed 2nd in the Under 72kg Bodybuilding division at ICN. In 2017, I competed again, this time in Men's Physique.

03. Then COVID arrived.

Like many people, I lost almost two years of normal training and competition opportunities. Rather than stopping, I built a home gym and continued working towards getting back on stage.

In May 2022, I returned to competition with ICN, winning both the Melbourne Open Bodybuilding and Open Classic Physique titles.

Later that year, at 42, I transitioned from bodybuilding to Men’s Physique.

In October 2022, I placed 2nd in True Novice, 3rd in Novice and 4th in Open at the IFBB Victoria State Championships, before placing 2nd in Masters at the IFBB National Championships.

In October 2023, I went on to win the IFBB National Masters Men’s Physique title. I returned to the national stage in April 2025 and won the National Masters title for a second time.

Most recently, in September 2026, I returned to the IFBB stage and placed 3rd in Men’s Physique Masters at both the Victoria State Championships and the National Championships.

04. MORE THAN TRAINING

For most of this journey, fitness wasn't my profession.

I was building a career in Talent Acquisition leadership while simultaneously learning how to make bodybuilding fit around a demanding professional career, relationships, responsibilities and everyday life.

That meant learning how to structure my training, nutrition and lifestyle around a specific goal rather than structuring my entire life around the gym.

Over the years, my education also extended beyond training and nutrition. I developed a deeper understanding of performance enhancing drugs, ancillary support, blood work and the health markers that should be considered when making decisions around enhanced bodybuilding.

I believe this is an area that is too often overlooked. PED use shouldn't be viewed in isolation. It needs to be considered alongside blood work, cardiovascular health, nutrition, recovery and the individual's wider lifestyle.

WHY KG PHYSIQUE

After more than 25 years of training and years of competitive experience, I now want to pass that knowledge on.

KG Physique is for anyone who wants to train with purpose – natural or enhanced, stepping on stage for the first time or simply building a better physique.

There's no shortage of information online, but most of it isn't built around you. Training and nutrition advice can't simply be copied from someone else and expected to fit your body, schedule and lifestyle.

Your food, routine, work, family and recovery all influence how a plan needs to be structured.

My aim is to combine what I have learned through decades of training, competition, nutrition, PED education and health monitoring into a plan that fits your life. Whatever your goal, I want to help you make informed decisions and avoid many of the mistakes I had to learn from myself.
