Fitze, the leading fitness rewards app in UAE, proudly announces its expansion into the Indian market through an exclusive partnership with Iffort, a leading technology and digital marketing partner for global brands. This move marks a significant step in Fitze’s global growth strategy, bringing its innovative wellness solution to a new audience and opening doors for substantial investment opportunities and business growth.
Launched in 2020, Fitze UAE secured Pre-Series A funding of $750K in 2021 and has since become self-sustaining and profitable. Its transformative approach to corporate wellness programs underscores the app’s success, engaging over 350 corporates in the UAE, including prominent names like P&G, Canon, Mashreq, Emirates, Marriott International, and Xerox.
Fitze has also partnered with more than 150 brands and reward partners, such as Noon, Joyalukkas, Cleartrip, Lulu, and Garmin, enhancing its value proposition. A key highlight includes being one of the app partners for the Dubai Fitness Challenge (the month-long initiative by His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence of the UAE) in 2022 and 2023. Currently, the app is experiencing a 15% monthly growth rate, with corporate participation rising by 5-7% month on month.
“As Fitze’s technology partner for over five years, we’re thrilled to deepen our collaboration and launch Fitze’s innovative fitness rewards program in India,” said Sunny Jindal, Co-founder of Iffort India & UAE. This partnership highlights our commitment to enhancing well-being and engagement and addresses the growing demand for health-focused solutions in the Indian market.
