Wellness Travel Needs Serious Vetting, Not Vibe-Planning

So really, today, what we want to really dig into is...

the topic of wellness travel.

And this is very interesting because Puneet is going to talk about what he's doing in wellness travel in India and what an exciting opportunity that there is there.

And also, you know, our experience, Uma, in wellness as well, because this is what we've been doing as well since COVID, right? So just to give everybody a little bit of context about wellness travel, if you didn't know, so it is one of the fastest growing categories in the entire travel industry now, right? So we're looking at as of, as of 2026, um, You know, we're looking at close to a trillion dollars of revenue a year in wellness travel, which is which is nuts.

I never realized it was going to grow so fast and is growing twice as fast as overall tourism, which is very, very interesting.

But, you know, the headline sort of is honestly sort of the least interesting part of the story.

The real story, what's happening underneath, is who's actually building this category, right? So also...

what legacy players are missing and whether the industry can even sell this thing at scale.

This is the whole piece.

The trillion dollars right now sounds very, very interesting and it sounds like everybody's involved, but that's really the discussion we're going to have around that because I think ground truths, Uma, as what we've experienced and Puneet, what you've experienced, it's still growing in our eyes, right? A trillion sounds a bit too big, but we'll dig into that in a bit.

So, Puneet, you've founded Trexover.

Yeah.

And it's currently it's India's dedicated wellness travel place.

Is that is that the best way to frame it?

Thanks, Dylan, for raising this point.

A very interesting topic.

And I think a lot of, you know, information, structured information is missing on this segment we have here.

everywhere so but in simple terms yes it is a a huge market uh and i think the problem is very simple that the supply exists the demand also exists but what is matching the two that's that's really highly fragmented that's where the issues and problems and disconnection and you know the misunderstanding that's what it is it is really struggling and that happens with every industry which you know kind of evolves there is a need for sure after covid and mental wellness at all ages in in every space because we live in a very fast life and wellness holiday is like slow So you move from fast to slow and then you need to find your right place.

So yeah, so Treksova, we do two things, very simple wellness at home, wellness in holidays.

So when you are at home, we also have options and when you are going for holidays, then also we have options.
