Our story

It began with our own family.

A personal experience led to a broader mission: make movement support more accessible, more measurable and more consistent.

What we lived

Between 2019 and 2022, Suresh went through a serious injury that needed sustained rehabilitation. In the same years, his mother faced age-related musculoskeletal decline and needed therapy of her own.

What the family found was fragmented care, no objective measurement and inconsistent guidance. It was a real, personal and solvable gap.

From a gap to a mission

That gap became the mission. Two and a half years of research and prototyping followed, and Xrike Global was founded in Bengaluru in March 2025.

Suresh and his mother were among the earliest people to use the platform, to stay active and rebuild strength. Maria and their daughter use it for preparation, skill and strength training.

A maker's habit, applied to movement

Suresh has always taken existing things and asked what else they could become. As a child he upcycled and customised whatever he could: clothes, furniture, electronics. Xrike is the same habit, applied to movement.

  1. As a childUpcycling, recycling and reconfiguring things to suit his own need.
  2. CareerElectronics, manufacturing and medical equipment companies, then enterprise IT.
  3. 2006He had been obese until then. An encounter with God changed his life, first spiritually, and then physically. He gave up smoking and drinking and took up training. Two decades of training followed: long-distance running, calisthenics and mostly bodyweight work.
  4. 2019 to 2022Recurring injury and pain, with physiotherapy on and off, and more detailed therapy from 2023. Training less made it worse.
  5. The platformHe looked for a durable training apparatus, could not find one in India, designed his own and had a friend build it. His mother and family began using it too.
  6. The MethodYears of training showed him movement as patterns and capabilities, not isolated exercises. With clinical input, that became The Xrike Method.

This is personal experience and founder insight. It is not clinical evidence.
