In a world obsessed with shortcuts and instant results, one man quietly chose the long road. And walked it—every single day—for over five years. Saurabh Bothra, an IIT-BHU graduate turned yoga evangelist, has etched his name into history not with flamboyance, but with fierce consistency. On August 15, 2025, he completed 2,000 consecutive days of yoga practice, setting a world record that’s as much about discipline as it is about devotion.
From Engineering to Enlightenment
Saurabh’s journey began in the lecture halls of IIT-BHU, where he studied mechanical engineering. But somewhere between equations and deadlines, he discovered a deeper formula—one that balanced body, breath, and being. That spark led him to co-found Habuild, a platform that now hosts India’s largest virtual yoga community.
The Records That Followed
What started as a personal vow became a public revolution. His daily livestreams drew lakhs of participants and shattered records year after year. In 2023, he led the largest virtual yoga class with over 1.3 lakh participants. By 2024, his single-day livestreams had crossed 5.99 lakh viewers, and his meditation sessions drew nearly 2.9 lakh people in one go. Then came the crescendo: on International Yoga Day 2025, over 7.5 lakh people across 169 countries joined him in a synchronized yoga session—an awe-inspiring moment of global unity. Each session wasn’t just a workout—it was a ritual of resilience, a collective breath shared across borders.
The Power of One
Through illness, travel, and life’s chaos, Saurabh never missed a day. No excuses. No shortcuts. Just the mat, the breath, and the belief that consistency is the real superpower.
“This isn’t just my record,” he says. “It belongs to every person who showed up, even once. We built this together.”
A New Kind of Patriotism
Saurabh’s story isn’t just about yoga—it’s about India’s quiet revolution in wellness. In a country where ancient wisdom meets modern ambition, his journey is a reminder that transformation doesn’t need noise. It needs commitment.
Campaign Moment?
Imagine this: A reel opens with Saurabh rolling out his mat in a train station, a hotel room, a rainy rooftop. Cut to faces across India—students, farmers, homemakers—joining him live. The voiceover? “One man. One mat. Two thousand days. Millions inspired.”
