Ayesha currently works as an athletics coach and movement specialist in Mumbai and believes that all training is a process of education, awareness, and experience. With a 4-year training stint in Sydney, Australia from the year 2010 to 2014, her former coach Gavin Fernandes who is an Olympic Gold medalist in Boxing (physiotherapist) taught Ayesha that Sports and Life always go hand in hand. Her own experience of emerging as a leader and not a follower makes her the Fit girl India, whom she is known as today, across the nation. In 2016 she started her own social enterprise by the name of Project Fit girl, which aims at educating young children at the Government school level and in rural India. This project now works primarily in Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra & Rajasthan.
