What Kerala Ayurveda does

Kerala Ayurveda, founded in 1945 and headquartered in India, is an integrated Ayurvedic healthcare and wellness company operating a multi-vertical business spanning retail products, clinical services, hospital treatments, wellness resorts, and practitioner education. The company sells a broad portfolio of traditional Ayurvedic formulations through its Shopify-powered e-commerce platform (keralaayurveda.com), with products organized both by health concern (Skin Care, Hair Care, Pain Relief, Brain Health, Women's Health, Immunity, etc.) and by dosha (Vata, Pitta, Kapha). It maintains a physical footprint of 17 clinics across major Indian metros and Singapore, two dedicated Ayurvedic hospitals in Kasaragod (Kerala) and Vita (Maharashtra), three wellness resorts (Ayurvedagram Bangalore, Ayurvedagram Bali, The Health Village), and an Academy for Ayurvedic training. The legal entity is Kerala Ayurveda India, a privately held company with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or public listing.

The product portfolio is built on classical Ayurvedic formulations derived from texts such as Sahasrayogam and spans dosage forms including oils (Thailam/Keram), tablets, capsules, syrups (Asava/Arishta), powders (Choornam), and decoctions (Kwath). Products are positioned at price points from approximately ₹90 to ₹1,500 with free delivery above ₹299, and the site includes a prescription upload workflow for products requiring practitioner authorization. The portfolio addresses roughly 15+ health verticals including skin care, hair care, joint/muscle care, immunity, digestion, brain health, women's health, men's health, liver, eye care, diabetes, cardiovascular, respiratory, weight management, oral care, and pediatric/geriatric segments.

Revenue is generated through three primary streams: direct product sales via e-commerce, in-person clinic consultations across India and Singapore, and inpatient/outpatient hospital services. Geographic expansion extends to the United States via a wholly-owned subsidiary (Kerala Ayurveda USA) operating a separate online storefront (keralaayurveda.store), a wellness center, and an Academy. The company is privately held with no funding rounds, M&A activity, leadership changes, or financial disclosures identified in the source data.
