Americas Franchising Group is proud to announce that Rakesh Gugnani will be opening the first We Rock The Spectrum Kids Gym in Sydney, Australia. This marks a major milestone in the brand’s international expansion—and a powerful moment for neurodiverse families across New South Wales.
With its mission rooted in creating sensory-safe spaces for children of all abilities, We Rock The Spectrum has changed the landscape of inclusion across the U.S. and beyond. Rakesh now brings that mission to Sydney, backed by experience, vision, and an unwavering belief in the power of purpose-driven business.
“Rakesh embodies the entrepreneurial spirit with a heart for service,” said Dina Kimmel, Founder and CEO. “We’re honored to partner with him as he introduces our inclusive platform to families in Australia.”
Rakesh’s inspiration to open a We Rock gym came from his own personal and professional experiences with families of children with developmental differences. “I wanted to invest in something that made a difference,” he said. “This isn’t just a business—it’s a legacy. It’s about giving every child a place to feel empowered, understood, and free.”
The Sydney location will be built as a collaborative force in the community, serving as a central hub for therapists, hospitals, school counselors, private clinics, support organizations, and more. Rakesh plans to work closely with Australia’s healthcare and education sectors to make the gym a space of both play and partnership.
With strategic backing from Americas Franchising Group, Rakesh is set to make We Rock The Spectrum a household name in Sydney—and a lifeline for families looking for inclusive solutions that work.
