Early life and education
Shweta Rathore studied bio-chemical engineering at Manipur University.[1] Shweta is an engineer by qualification and was working in a corporate scenario for many years in marketing. Since her school days, she was very much driven by fitness because she had a slightly broad frame. In India, not many people understand the difference between being large frame and being fat, and that’s why people started calling her fat. This thing hit her because she was a very active child and use to take part in cultural activities and sports at her school. Shweta started proper gyming when she was in 8th standard and from there onwards, it continues, and fitness became her lifestyle. She was very much driven into fitness so one day, her brother suggested Shweta to try it professionally, and that's how she came into fitness.[8]
