The Health & Wellness industry is poised at a very interesting crossroad. On one hand, there is a rise in income and the desire to be healthy & fit to life live to the fullest. On the other hand, there is a rise in health challenges with our demanding & stressful lifestyle. When combined with a proactive, digitally-savvy consumer, you’ve just the right mix for innovative products & solutions. Those products that deliver results effectively, are safe and customized to Indian needs are likely to win big.
Headquartered in Mumbai, Essens Wellness is on a mission to shape & be the thought leader in Adult Health & Wellness with products that are inspired by nature & proven by science. They focus on three big health challenges– Diabetes, Gut Health, and Life Stage Health with products that help you ‘take back control of your health’ and help you lead a healthier, fuller life. ActiFiber is the lead brand.
Talking about the current market scenario and the promising future of the health supplement market, CEO, Bindu Damodaran mentions, “We Indians, aren’t really in the pink of health. In urban India, one out of eleven of us is diabetic and one in three is overweight. Our food habits and lifestyle are also not helping matters, with close to 50 percent of urban Indians experiencing recurring digestive disorders. Unfortunately, these health challenges become increasingly common as we reach our 40s, the ‘peak years’ of our life, a phase when we are at the top of our professional & personal life, but have a demanding & stressful lifestyle”.
“So, there is an urgent need for innovative products & solutions that are scientifically proven to be effective, safe, and preferably nature sourced. What is also important is that these solutions are such that they can be easily adapted into our Indian food & lifestyle habits", she adds.
