Please shine some light on the work culture of your company. At our company, we believe in fostering a relaxed work atmosphere that promotes employee well-being and job satisfaction.

How are you planning to expand the growth of your business venture?

Our consortium, the Preventia Group of Companies, plans to expand the growth of our business venture by promoting health and wellness tourism overseas. We plan to expand our scale of operations and put in efforts to offer our medical services and hospitality experiences from India to tourists and potential new clients abroad. Through these efforts, we aim to keep contributing to the health and wellness tourism industry as well as continue to innovate and develop new medicines and methods of treatment that are the need of the hour.

What does the company hold for it in the future?

We are currently focusing on our next programme, Hygeia, which is being developed under the wing of Preventia Wellness. This programme works with our main motto of focusing on health, wellness, and resources and seamlessly ties into our Wellness India Project, with which we will be creating the largest wellness network. Under Hygeia, there are three major categories of programmes:

• Wellness Tourism

With wellness tourism, we plan to utilise our resources to create

1. Tourism gateways (in Bangalore, Mumbai, Chennai, and Palakkad)

2. Hospitality facilities in the form of our own resorts, dignified specialty hospitals, Ayurvedic resorts and hospitals, and sites for special wellness stays

3. Satellite centres to coordinate the activities and programmes across overseas centres

• Wellness HUB and Apoorva Homes

In this programme, we are creating a wellness hub across eight acres of land for cultivating wellness via premium wellness stays and for production via industrial and lifestyle training.

The facilities on this site will include: an open lawn for training and parties; stress management facilities; neurorehabilitation facilities; therapeutic stress care; first aid and consultation; a small training hall (for 50 people); an open kitchen; a herbal garden; and gardens for fruits and vegetables surrounded by a thicket and lush greenery.

• Hygeia Lifestyle

A lifestyle centre with a unique and integrative 5-Zone Therapy for preventing health issues and protecting you from stress

The fifth zone is all about developing perfect individuality, a method of practical psychology that integrates one’s physique, mind, nerves, and energy pattern. Practical psychology is a part of Bio-Plasmic Modulation Therapy (BPM Therapy) and will not interfere with any of the other therapies or require the need for internal medicines for stress care.
