While many companies claim to be among the “Best Companies to Work”, Ayurveda House Private Limited stands out as a true pioneer in the wellness-tech space under Astha Jain’s dynamic leadership. Recognized for its exceptional work culture, the company is built on a foundation of genuine employee experience. At its core, Ayurveda House aims to provide natural and effective solutions for a healthier lifestyle with its three purpose-driven brands, Ayuvya, imfresh, and Klean Nutrition.
As the flagship Ayurvedic brand, Ayuvya is deeply rooted in 5000-year-old wisdom, expertly guided by its in-house vaidyas. It addresses underserved wellness areas like healthy weight gain, skin, gut, and intimate care, especially for Tier 2–4 India. Its primary product, i-GAIN+, stands as India’s most trusted Ayurvedic weight gain supplement, significantly contributing to the company’s overall revenue. imfresh is a modern personal care brand that redefines freshness with skin-safe, chemicalfree products designed for daily use. imfresh excels in the quick-commerce space and appeals to young, urban consumers looking for effective and natural freshness through a wide range of products.
Its hero offering, a unique whole-body deodorant cream, stands out as a convenient, skin-friendly alternative to traditional sprays.. Klean Nutrition, Ayurveda House’s latest venture in performance nutrition, offers premium-quality, natural mass gainers without harmful preservatives or artificial additives. Klean Nutrition empowers consumers to achieve fitness and weight goals through transparent and clean label formulations.
These three brands together embody Ayurveda House’s mission to blend ancient Ayurvedic wisdom with modern innovation, offering holistic solutions for everyday health and hygiene.
Overcoming the Hurdles
Initially, Astha and her team faced numerous challenges, primarily centred around trust. Ayurveda has been tarnished by overpriced products or fake “herbal” labels, leading to widespread consumer skepticism. They also faced stigma in categories like sexual wellness and weight gain. Astha and other key executives navigated these challenges by leaning into empathy and authenticity. By connecting directly with customers, listening to their stories, and tailoring products and messaging accordingly, the company was able to build a loyal community and create strong connections.
An Edge Over the Peers
Ayurveda House differentiates itself by addressing ignored issues, rather than following trends. While others focus on urban weight loss markets, it carved out a niche as the #1 Ayurvedic weight gain brand, catering to underserved needs. Its in-house team of doctors ensures every formulation is rooted in authentic Ayurveda, not just marketing claims. By delivering notable results and building deep customer trust, the company stands out for prioritising promise over performance. Delivering results, not promises. At the heart of its success is a customer-centric approach that deeply values feedback from Tier 2 and 3 users. Every product iteration is based on voice notes, testimonials, and WhatsApp chats with the customers.
At the Forefront of Latest Trends
The company stays ahead of the curve by continuously analysing consumer behaviour, especially in underserved markets. This approach enables it to explore emerging trends and adapt to shifting market dynamics. One notable trend is the rise of “functional Ayurveda”, where people want natural products that fit into modern routines. Looking ahead, the company believes that tech-driven personalisation, AI-based recommendations, and education-first marketing will be the key drivers.
Embracing the Future Work Culture
The company is adapting to the evolving work culture with a hybrid model that blends flexibility with purpose. Its key strategies include:
- Tech Integration: Harnessing cloud-based tools, AI integrations, and real-time platforms to collaborate efficiently across locations.
- Employee Well-being: Focused on a healthy work culture through flexible hours and “no-meeting” focus slots and open conversations around burnout,
At Ayurveda House, the future of work is creating an environment where employees feel supported, valued, and inspired. Further, the company prioritises growth through a culture of opportunities, where individuals can thrive within the organisation.
Vision for Growth
Ayurveda House is poised for notable growth, with a vision to become a household name in Indian wellness, like Dabur. However, it aims to differentiate itself by offering the authenticity and relatability that today’s generation craves. The company plans to achieve this through strategic expansion, including new SKUs and personal care products, while maintaining its core commitment to high-quality Ayurveda for all.
