INDIA, Dec. 1 -- Xavier Varghese, an IT professional based in Bengaluru, achieved an impressive Top 3 finish in the Classic Physique Novice category at the ICN Goa Super Show 2025, marking a significant milestone in his bodybuilding journey.

Balancing a demanding full-time IT job with long hours and little personal time, Xavier continued to pursue bodybuilding a passion he says keeps him grounded. His journey has been far from easy. Last year, he failed to secure a placement at the competition, and many around him dismissed his efforts as a waste of time. The criticism affected him deeply, but the unwavering support of his mother kept him motivated.

Determined to prove himself, Xavier committed fully to preparing for ICN India this year...
