This 23-year-old Bengaluru entrepreneur is spending thousands to become the ‘Bryan Johnson of India’

He shared that he has already begun by taking an extensive blood test costing Rs 7,000 to track key health markers. Dinakar also said he has started using a WHOOP device to monitor sleep, strain and recovery, along with Strava for workouts, Amy for calorie tracking and Sedona for keeping an eye on biomarkers. “This is just the start,” he added, noting that he plans to “go a lot deeper into every single aspect” of his health and make the entire journey public. “The journey begins.”

For context, Johnson is a US-based tech entrepreneur who has drawn global attention for spending millions of dollars each year on strict diets, supplements, medical tests and experimental therapies, all in an effort to slow or even reverse biological ageing through constant self-measurement.

Dinakar’s announcement quickly sparked debate online. Some users applauded his decision to prioritise health early in life and said they were keen to follow along. Others were more sceptical, warning that obsessive tracking could lead to burnout or unnecessary stress.

A user wrote, “23 years old optimising biomarkers while most people his age are optimizing their instagram captions. either this goes incredibly well or becomes the most documented midlife crisis in bangalore.”

Another user suggested, “Having already done all kinds of tests, therapies, supplements. Start with the food and mapping the supply chain. This is 50% of the entire thing and you can build a better business than home checkups on this.”

A third person advised, “Hard pill to swallow but if you’re new to this, trying everything together will burn you out quickly. Pick one thing, stick to it, then build on it. Good luck.”

“Hahaha i was thinking about doing something similar to myself too in the big 2026 finally focusing on health and going all in. Every $ I’ve made in past couple of years either goes into travelling or health let’s see how better can we get, cheers! Count me in I wanna joinnn,” wrote another individual.
