Our Story...
Founded by two brothers, GelPact™ exists to challenge traditional thinking around protection. We are committed to researching, developing and improving protection systems designed to help manage repeated impact across sport, training and everyday activities.
Founder & CEO
Trushal
Trushal Patel holds a Bachelor of Commerce, majoring in Property and Finance, and has been involved in combat sports for over 9 years.
Like many athletes, Trushal experienced persistent knuckle pain during training and relied on traditional knuckle guards for additional protection. While searching for a replacement online, a simple question came to mind:
Why isn't there a hand wrap with a knuckle guard already built into it?
That question sparked the idea that would eventually become GelPact.
Today, Trushal plays a key role in GelPact's product development and long-term vision, helping drive the company's mission to rethink how athletes manage repeated impact.
Co-Founder
Dhruv
With over 10 years of experience in combat sports, Dhruv became increasingly dedicated to understanding injury prevention from repeated impact.
From extra wrapping and double wrapping to DIY padding solutions, he noticed a recurring pattern: athletes were constantly modifying their protection in search of something better.
That observation helped shape the philosophy behind GelPact - a company dedicated to understanding repeated impact
