I had heard a lot about Kairali The Healing Village. It is famous both in India and abroad for its Ayurvedic Treatment and Products. People from world over come here for wellness/fitness programs. I was really curious to meet with the brains behind Kairali. Luckily I got an opportunity to meet with them at Kairali through Ayurveda Sutra Wellness Bloggers meet Edition 2. I was eager to meet Mr. K.V Ramesh, Chairman and Ms. Geeta Ramesh, Managing Director, Kairali. Well, they are a fabulous down to earth couple. Below is the snippet of our conversation

Mr. K.V. Ramesh and Ms. Geeta Ramesh

Interaction with K.V. Ramesh and Geeta Ramesh

What was the inspiration to behind Kairali?

Mr. K.V. Ramesh said that he belongs to an Ayurvedic family and Ayurveda runs in their blood so he used to always see his father studying Ayurveda and doing research on the same. He used to see how medicines were being prepared. They had a factory in Bangalore which they shifted to Palakkad and after while they opened a treatment centre in Delhi it was a huge success. People loved its products and the treatment that was provided at the centre. On public demand since they already had land in Palakkad, they decided to make a resort.

What is your vision for Kairali?

We want to have presence across the globe. We already have 42 centres in the world and are planning to open centres in almost all countries. Also, there is ample space that we have opposite this resort. We plan to have a high end property for who’s who of the world

Are you having such Resorts over there in the world?

There are treatment centres where people are first of all diagnosed with the problem. Then the corresponding treatment along with medicines is provided. There is a 7 day 14 day on 21 day course all across the treatment centres. The only resort is in Palakkad but rest of the world has only treatment centres.

One patient who was critically ill and was hopeless but you treated that person

Ms. Geeta said there was one person who came on wheelchair and had back surgery. All doctors said no further treatment but her husband was hopeful. They stayed with Kairali for a month and that lady went back walking on her legs. There was another person who had 2nd Stage lung cancer and she was treated at Kairali and still she is hale and hearty and enjoying her life

What are the challenges you faced while establishing centres across the globe

Mr. Ramesh said there are many there laws, rules and regulations with respect to different countries. They compare everything with allopathic standards and it’s difficult to convince sometimes. In Switzerland, Baharain, Ayurveda is already approved and we ensure that we provide disclaimers for all the treatment.

What do customers say about you and What is your marketing approach?

All the customers are happy and they have good words for us. We have a lot of word of mouth, we participate in World Travel Mart and more.

What is your favourite food and favourite destination?

Fish curry and rice all over the world we love fish curry and rice. We love Japan/ Tokyo people are very nice and courteous there.

What do you recommend for a healthy life?

Ms. Geeta said drink warm herbal water every time be it summers or winters. Fresh fruits and vegetables. Your food is your prevention and cure. Apply oil on body everyday. Kids should have chyavanprash for increasing their immunity.
