Today, health care is more of a reactive medicine.
Longevity is becoming a buzzword, but today a lot of biohacking is happening at the top level without understanding the foundations correctly.
because their ego is higher.
Western-medicine doctors
Our guest is someone for whom health is a serious priority, not a passing interest. Typically, they are high-achieving professionals, executives and entrepreneurs, people who understand that their greatest asset is their well-being and want to invest in it with the same rigour they bring to everything else. Many have already experienced the world's finest wellness destinations and are looking for something with greater depth and measurable outcomes.
We have also invested in innovation at a level not seen before. Our engineering team designed and globally patented the world's first Ayurvedic Vichy Bed. Therapies such as hyperbaric oxygen and photobiomodulation are fully integrated into the healing philosophy, not added as novelties.
Within three cycles of treatment, the cervical issue was solved. I had three M.R.I.s taken subsequently—it was completely gone.
This is why, since 2007, every organization I have created has included a Community Center.
In Kerala, our doctors mentor students in local schools, our teams support fishermen’s communities, and they volunteer during floods from Kashmir to Chennai.
With the opening of the tulåh Community Center, we carry this philosophy forward.
Throughout my journey, I've believed that true progress comes from building institutions that create lasting impact. With tulåh Clinical Wellness, that vision continues.
The response has been humbling. The domestic market, particularly Mumbai, Delhi and Bengaluru, has outperformed our projections. There is a more sophisticated Indian wellness traveller today than people realise, someone who has seen the world's best and is genuinely excited that something of this depth now exists at home. Internationally, the GCC has been strong, which is natural given our connections there. Europe, particularly the UK and Germany, is building steadily. We have only scratched the surface.
Our expansion model is about building a global network of integrated wellness, within which a guest's health journey continues wherever they are in the world. We want tulåh to become part of how people live, not a destination they visit once and forget, but an ongoing framework for how they relate to their own health.
When we think of the expansion of the tulåh brand, we certainly think globally. The need for preventive care is a global concern, and we see ourselves eventually being accessible in major global hubs such as London, Dubai and Singapore. This allows our guests to monitor their progress and have accountability and autonomy over their own healthcare.
Stays are also getting longer and more serious. The shift is away from three-night breaks towards seven-, 14- and 21-day programmes where real transformation is possible. That is where we operate. And India, as a wellness destination, is having its moment. I believe tulåh is part of a larger story about India's rightful place as a world leader in integrative health and healing.
The shift from reactive to preventive healthcare is accelerating; Covid made that permanent. People no longer want to wait until they are ill. Longevity science and health optimisation are becoming mainstream, not just for the ultra-wealthy. The appetite for genuinely integrated approaches, where ancient wisdom and modern science collaborate rather than compete, is growing strongly.
Corporate wellness is a growing opportunity. Burnout among senior leadership is real, and organisations are beginning to take it seriously. The international medical wellness traveller, someone who comes to Kerala specifically for therapeutic reasons and wants that combined with world-class diagnostics and genuine luxury, is also a strong and growing segment.
Cultural programming runs through the entire guest journey, not as an add-on, but as part of the healing itself. Art, music and creativity – this is medicine at tulåh. Guests participate in art sessions during their stay. They visit the spice markets of Kozhikode, home to one of the world's oldest trading ports. They explore the Malabar region with local historians who carry the story of this place in their bones.
For me, tulåh is a platform to showcase India to the world. Every artist on our walls, every musician in our lounges and every cultural installation a guest encounters is Indian. Someone who travels from London, Tokyo or Dubai to tulåh leaves with a relationship to Indian art and culture they did not arrive with.
The herbs used in our treatments are grown in our own medicinal gardens on the estate. The food is therapeutically intentional and prepared with the care you would expect from any world-class culinary experience. The architecture has no sharp edges or hard corners. A well-travelled guest will arrive and immediately feel that they are in exceptional hands.
I would challenge the word 'balance' because it implies compromise, and we have made none. Ancient knowledge is not something we have adjusted; we respect it completely. What modern diagnostics do is give it even greater depth and precision. Where we have genuinely set a new standard is in delivery. I have travelled extensively and experienced what passes for the finest in luxury wellness globally. I came back knowing exactly what was missing. That understanding is built into every element of tulåh.
Kerala has an extraordinary wellness heritage. But most destinations, even the finest, offer spa experiences with Ayurveda layered on top. At tulåh, there is no separation between the clinical and the wellness. Panchakarma, genome mapping, sessions with our psychologists and movement therapy are not different tracks. They are one programme, designed together by a multidisciplinary team. Spanning modern medicine, Ayurveda, functional medicine, psychology, traditional Chinese medicine, nutrition and movement science, this team sits together and thinks together. That model is rare anywhere in the world.
The honest answer is that tulåh came from a deeply personal place. Years of incorrectly practised yoga had compressed my vertebrae to the point where doctors saw no option other than surgery. I am an engineer by training, so I am always searching for a better solution. This made me turn to Ayurveda, the healing system that Kerala, my home state, has practised and perfected for thousands of years. It worked. That experience fundamentally changed how I think about health. The world didn't have a facility where clinical intelligence and ancient healing wisdom were not separate offerings, but one seamless, integrated experience. That integration is the idea at the heart of tulåh.
Whether through education, healthcare, industry, or wellness, my purpose has remained the same: to build institutions that improve lives and leave a lasting legacy for future generations.
More than an accolade, I see it as a reminder that there is still much work to be done and more lives to transform.
I have always believed that the true measure of success lies not in what we achieve for ourselves, but in the positive impact we create for others.
That question became tulåh. A place designed to help people heal, restore and invest in their long-term wellbeing with intention.
This film shares the story behind why I started this journey and the vision that continues to shape it.
After witnessing first-hand the gaps in how we approach healing and wellbeing, I found myself asking: What if healing could be proactive, deeply personal and rooted in both ancient wisdom and modern science?
tulåh began from a deeply personal belief, that health should not begin when something breaks.
After six years of quiet and relentless work, we have finally unveiled tulåh to the world.
To have tulåh described as 'perfectly poised between ancient and modern’ really outlines our whole intention.
We are bringing our unique protocols from India to the world and whilst ambitious, we believe that this new paradigm of wellness is just what the industry needs.
Our exclusive feature in Condé Nast Traveller is now available online and it leaves me with a great deal of gratitude and a deep sense of affirmation.
People have to be taught about longevity, that it's not just about biohacking. It's about looking inwardly, you know, a holistic approach to the body and mind.
Through the skin pores, this goat protein goes inside the body—inside the nerves—and leaves the RNA of the goat protein, which regenerates our dead nerves.
Everybody wants to live longer, but using chemicals to do it is not the right way of looking at life and longevity. We need to make sure that you’re mentally and physically both in good condition until you’re 90 to 100 years old.
Covid made me really go into the concept of prevention
inculcated, at a very young age, that I should be disciplined and work out. I don’t drink or smoke and have always been into health and wellness.
You’ll never see a sharp corner in Tulah.
The mind is much calmer when you see a river flowing, and it’s like that.
All the investigation will be done by modern science.
But the solution will mostly come from the Eastern way of doing things.
It’s where we work on the spine, because the spine is where our seven energy centers are lying, the seven chakras.
So once the spine is aligned, what clinical yoga does is, if your body is aligned correctly and strong, your mind works much clearer.
And it’s clearly demarcated what we can and cannot do.
The Sonorium embodies this vision, a purpose-built sanctuary where sound is felt, a place where deep listening becomes a path to presence and inner balance.
At Tulah, our vision has always been to push the boundaries of human wellbeing by weaving together science, nature and culture to offer transformative experiences.
I am deeply honoured to share a special moment in our journey at Tulah Clinical Wellness - the unveiling of the world’s largest sound healing dome known as the Sonorium by Oscar winning composer AR Rahman.
This further reaffirms our belief that wellbeing is not one-dimensional. It flourishes when innovation, tradition and human experience converge, with purpose.
With this new partnership, we are set to expand further to meet growing healthcare needs.
Meitra was built with the dream of creating a hospital benchmarked to the world’s best, combining advanced infrastructure, cutting-edge technology and compassionate care.
I am delighted to share that Meitra Hospital has entered into a strategic partnership with KKR’s India healthcare platform.
This collaboration will accelerate our vision of bringing world-class healthcare to Kozhikode and beyond, expanding our reach and capabilities to serve patients and communities across India, marking a milestone in Meitra Hospital’s journey.
I will continue to serve as the Chairman of Meitra Hospital and look forward to building on this legacy together with our partners, our team, and the communities we serve, as we continue building future-ready healthcare for India.
We do not choose between these worlds. We integrate them.
At tulåh Clinical Wellness, healing is not a treatment, it is a way of life.
Our vision is not only to add years but to deepen life itself with vitality, presence, and purpose.
This is what creates belonging, purpose, and trust.
Because we are part of a larger ecosystem, giving back is not optional. It is our responsibility.
They are where people grow beyond their roles, developing leadership and soft skills, building confidence through arts, culture, and sports, and discovering the value of giving back.
Institutions that invest in people and stand with their communities leave behind the only legacy that truly matters.
My hope is that more institutions embrace this model. When we build people, we build communities. And when we build communities, we build institutions that last.
The results are clear. When people feel empowered and connected, they bring loyalty, creativity, and energy into their work. Productivity rises. Success follows. Money follows. But what endures is community.
The knowledge and strength we build inside an institution must also flow outward, supporting education, strengthening communities, and offering help in times of need.
Guests from across the world reach out to us because of stories shared authentically, not through promotion, but through purpose.
tulåh Clinical Wellness reflects India’s role in a new golden age, bringing centuries-old knowledge and cutting-edge science together to inspire health and harmony worldwide.
tulåh Clinical Wellness was born to bring that vision to life. It is a state-of-the-art sanctuary in Kerala where the depth of India’s ancient traditions, including Ayurveda, yoga, and Vedanta, meets the precision of modern medicine.
We offer advanced diagnostics, personalised treatment plans, and evidence-based therapies that address the root causes of illness, restore vitality, and nurture the mind, body, and spirit.
Sustainability is woven into our foundation, and so is giving back: from supporting local schools to improving access to education, because we believe a meaningful life is one rooted in generosity, compassion, and the commitment to make a difference.
From our lush 30-acre sanctuary in Kerala, tulåh is set to expand across the globe, defining a new category of health: clinical wellness.
We are creating places of healing and transformation that carry India’s heritage and values to people everywhere.
Our vision is to redefine wellness worldwide, proving that ancient wisdom and modern science together can solve some of the most pressing health challenges of our time.
tulåh is my gift, and India’s gift, to the world.
