Thank You Farrokh,
for one of the best articles ever written about me in any media.
A few corrections:
1. I never trained the Ruia's. Lots of Industrial families, Bajaj, Birla, Singhania, Khatau, Modi's, etc... But never Ruia's and strangely enough none of the big Parsi Industrial families.
2. The new K11 Academies, across the country, will have Classrooms. But instead of a lecturer, there will be a screen beaming a lecturer taking a live class in Mumbai or Pune. The Practicals will be conducted on the Gym Floors by an onsite Master Trainer.
3. I stood first in my weight category at the Mr.Mumbai in 2010 & did not win the overall Mr. Mumbai title the way I won it in 2005.In 2008, I came first in my category at the Mr. Maharashtra.

Thank you for being a thorough gentleman journalist who took the trouble of mentioning all the people who matter & were turning points in my life.

Best Regards,
Kaizzad Farrokh Capadia
