SOUKYA International Holistic Health Centre, globally acclaimed for its premium holistic therapies, has acquired six acres of land near its existing campus in Hoskote, Bengaluru, as part of its plans to establish a 100-bedded Ayush hospital focused on making integrative healthcare more accessible. The total project cost is estimated at Rs. 125 crore, which includes Rs. 50 crore for land acquisition and Rs. 75 crore towards construction and development. The upcoming facility will offer integrated care for a wide spectrum of serious, chronic, rare, and complex medical conditions, combining Allopathy, Ayurveda, Homoeopathy, Naturopathy, Siddha, Unani, and Yoga with complementary therapies.
The Ministry of Ayush’s FY26 allocation has risen by 14.2% to Rs. 3,992.9 crore (US$ 461.3 million), while the Indian Ayush market, valued at US$ 43.3 billion in 2024, is projected to reach US$ 200 billion by 2030. In parallel, India’s wellness tourism sector, expected to grow from Rs. 1.64 lakh crore to Rs. 2.57 lakh crore by 2031, reflecting the global surge in demand for Ayurveda, Yoga, and holistic rejuvenation. These trends firmly position India as a global hub for integrative healthcare, underscoring the timeliness and relevance of SOUKYA’s new initiative, said the communication note.
Dr. Isaac Mathai, founder, SOUKYA, said “As we look ahead, our growth will anchor on two distinct yet complementary tracks - one through the expansion of SOUKYA targeting ultra-premium HNI’s and the journey has already begun with our first international centre in Portugal. The second is through this new foray into affordable holistic healthcare segment designed to make authentic integrative medicine accessible to a wider community. With growing public trust, government policy support, and India’s emergence as a global wellness tourism hub, this is an opportune time to broaden the reach of evidence-based Ayush care”
Construction of the new hospital is expected to begin within the next 6-9 months and will be executed in two phases. Phase I will include 50 beds and a set of core specialisations, while phase II will expand the facility’s capacity and service portfolio. The hospital is expected to be fully functional by the end of FY 27.
“Following Bengaluru, we see significant potential in Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Chennai, and Kerala, which are rapidly emerging as strong Ayush markets. We plan to expand through both management and operational models, allowing flexibility in how we grow while ensuring consistency in care delivery. There has already been encouraging interest from potential partners for collaborative models, which we are currently evaluating, he added.
The 100 bedded hospital in Bangalore will provide advanced integrative care across multiple disciplines, including cancer rehabilitation, respiratory disorders, lifestyle and metabolic conditions, paediatric developmental disorders, reproductive health, neurological and musculoskeletal disorders, gastrointestinal diseases, and addictive behaviours. Each treatment pathway will combine modern medical expertise with traditional systems, offering a comprehensive, patient-centric approach to healing. |
