Ratna created the concept of CAR.O.L in response to the inactivity epidemic she observed while running chronic disease management programs. Ratna was looking for a way to deliver shorter, effective workouts and came across the work of Dr. Niels Vollard and found that two 20-second all-out sprints, bracketed by easy spinning, resulted in the same response as a much longer exercise regimen. Ratna and her team worked together to take this innovative tech out of the lab and into the home. Now, CAR.O.L is used by both world-class athletes and fitness beginners.
Prior to founding CAR.O.L, Ratna successfully sold her first startup to Safeway US, served as the first Entrepreneur-in-Residence at McKinsey & Company and co-founded health consultancy firm IHP, which later sold to PwC. Ratna holds a MBA from CASS Business School, as well as a degree in microbiology from Kings College in London.
