A Quest for Wellbeing

From ancient times, Indians have believed in “Swasthya” meaning “Wellbeing”. And our ancient traditions of yoga and ayurveda were its basis. Today, the new generations of prosperous Indians, dynamic, extensive travelers, are looking for places of “Wellbeing” within India.

And why not? Blessed with breathtaking landscapes from the Himalayas to pristine beaches of Kerala, India is full of spectacular natural beauty and touristic attractions. Add to it, its ancient healing practices and you have a tempting spa destination.

A Buoyant Demand

Today, the Indian Spa industry is booming. Valued at a Rs. 137 billion (USD 3.04 bn) by FROST & SULLIVAN in 2010, it is estimated to grow to Rs.510 Billion (USD 11.35 bn) by 2014. With a CAGR of 30% p.a. India is attracting international investors, developers, spa brands, spa products, consultants and suppliers like never before.

A population of 1.2 billion people (a third of which constitute the aspiring middle class) + a robust economy, makes India a very attractive potential market for the spa industry.

While Ayurvedic resorts have existed and been in demand for several years, the real growth in the industry was initiated only a few years ago, and mainly through hotel spas. And now this trend has gotten further strengthened with increasing numbers of stand-alone day spas or destination spas in different parts of the country.

Spa Mantra

Spa Mantra is the result of the extraordinary change that India is undergoing. It is the first Indian magazine aimed specifically at opinion leaders of India’s Spa & Wellness Industry - owners, directors, managers, consultants, architects…

“A relatively new and promising spa market like India lacks sustained information on different aspects of this rapidly evolving industry…e.g. regulations and quality standards; education and training; concept and design. Spamantra will fill this gap” says Sandhya Chipalkatti,

Spa Mantra is specifically written for investors and developers, operators and buyers, designers and suppliers. The publication is aimed at readers that work in all areas of the professional spa and wellness market in India.
