Read on to know who bagged the top spot, all thanks to the wonderful readers who voted for them! By Bayar Jain
Every year, the asiaSpa India Awards celebrates the efforts of those who have played an instrumental role in putting India’s wellness industry on the global map. This year, however, the ceremony went a notch higher by recognising and honouring those from around the world as well. Over the past few months, readers were given the opportunity to not only vote for their favourites across 35 categories but were also allowed to nominate the ones they loved. The long-drawn battle culminated at The ITC Grand Central, Mumbai where the best were crowned with their respective titles.
With this year’s focus revolving around the concept of responsible luxury, a sentiment shared by both AsiaSpa India and venue partner ITC Grand Central, the awards were the country’s first-ever (and biggest) readers’ choice wellness and spa awards where the crème de la crème of the industry, and the city’s high fliers got together to celebrate the winning brands, and personalities who best personify the brand. A seamless hosting by Mandira Bedi made the night even more memorable.
