India’s economic ascendancy is often characterized as ‘unstoppable’—and with good reason. Forecasts by S&P Global project the nation to become the world’s third largest economy by 2030-31, and bilateral trade with the U.S. reached $192 billion in 2022, reflecting the extensive network of economic and cultural ties shared by the two nations.

The numbers behind India’s transformation are remarkable: a 60 percent increase in the size of the National Highways network in the last 10 years, the number of airports more than doubling to 150 and renewables capacity on track to reach 500 gigawatts by the end of the decade. Noting the dual focus of infrastructure renewal and sustainability that is powering national development, Prime Minister Narendra Modi told Newsweek: “India offers a credible model of how to enhance physical infrastructure and yet be at the forefront of mitigating climate change.”

Tulåh: Redefining Well-being with a Sustainable Health Care Model

KEF Holdings Founder and Chairman Faizal E. Kottikollon has built his career on innovation and positive disruption. Now he has set his sights on transforming global healthcare with the forthcoming launch of tulåh Clinical Wellness.

Tulåh Clinical Wellness, set to unveil in March 2025 in the heart of Kerala, India, is poised to redefine the health care landscape. Integrating cutting-edge clinical
techniques with ancient traditional wisdom, tulåh introduces a proactive approach to health, addressing chronic conditions while promoting holistic well-being. A place not just for healing, but for prevention, cure, reversal and rehabilitation.

The $100 million wellness sanctuary, a visionary endeavor by KEF Holdings and its founder and chairman, Faizal E. Kottikollon, aspires to revolutionize global health care through integrative wellness. “In over 30 years of my work, what we are about to unveil in the coming months represents a groundbreaking healthcare model—a future blueprint for the world to emulate,” Kottikollon shares passionately.

A staunch advocate for blending innovation with purpose, Kottikollon envisions tulåh as a sanctuary of balance, where evidence-based science and data-driven medicine merge with the wisdom of Ayurveda, yoga and Sowa Rigpa. Inspired by the belief that current reactive health care approaches are unsustainable, tulåh offers a healing space where health is not merely managed but nurtured through a holistic approach to well-being.

Tulåh’s protocols combine advanced diagnostics, functional medicine and modern clinical treatments with traditional practices. Before arriving at the sanctuary, each guest undergoes a detailed pre-arrival assessment, including genome and microbiome testing. These unique studies analyze DNA to identify genetic variations affecting health, traits, gut function and disease risk. This data enables the creation of personalized, science-based wellness journeys tailored to each guest's specific needs during their stay. On site, guests benefit from personalized diet plans and nutrients based on microbiome and blood markers to align their gut-brain axis to optimize both physical and mental well-being. For conditions like stress and fatigue, tulåh employs a blend of cognitive assessments, targeted yoga practices and sensory therapies such as sound resonance in its custom- designed Sonorium.

Beyond meticulously tailored journeys, tulåh is designed with emphasis on environmental responsibility. Its facilities are powered by net-zero green energy, employing radiant cooling systems to eliminate reliance on conventional air conditioning. A sustainable food philosophy prioritizes locally sourced ingredients, while water technologies reclaim and conserve critical resources.

Tulåh’s impact extends beyond its 30-acre sanctuary. Its “Urban tulåh” hubs, planned for more than 100 global cities, aims to offer continued care through therapies, diagnostics and AI-driven wellness tools. In addition, “Tulåh Tech,” the project’s digital extension, supports these efforts with wearables and AI-driven insights, designed to act as the user’s personal health concierge.

As global health care systems grapple with rising costs and an aging population, tulåh offers a vision for the future of wellness. “People are living longer, yet without fulfillment, emphasizing that health systems must focus on holistic well-being rather than just extending life,” says Kottikollon. “We need to see human beings as a whole, and this holistic perspective is what we are developing in India.”
