Mumbai: Krishna Shroff, daughter of Bollywood actor Jackie Shroff, has turned her personal passion for fitness into a powerful business venture, redefining mixed martial arts (MMA) in India. While most celebrities lean toward fashion or lifestyle ventures, Krishna chose the path of combat sports — a bold move rooted in her deep commitment to fitness and her desire to uplift India’s MMA scene.
She has carved a niche for herself as a strong female entrepreneur in a male-dominated industry, reflecting her sharp business acumen and unwavering dedication. Her flagship venture, MMA Matrix, is more than just a gym — it’s a full-fledged training platform offering equal opportunities to men and women while nurturing grassroots talent for professional combat sports.
Krishna’s vision further evolved into Matrix Fight Night (MFN), co-founded with her mother Ayesha and brother Tiger Shroff. Now one of India’s top MMA promotions, MFN recently held its 16th successful event in Delhi. For Krishna, fitness is a lifelong discipline, not a fleeting trend.
