Mumbai's Svastii Wellness Academy opens

20 Apr 2011 Landmarc Leisure Corporation (LLC) has announced the launch of its new Svastii Wellness Academy in Adheri East, Mumbai, in a bid to capitalise on the sector's growth in India.

India's wellness services industry is currently experiencing annual growth of 30-35 per cent and the new academy offers a range of courses across beauty-related areas.

A lecture theatre with video conferencing facilities; purpose-built practical rooms; and a well-equipped library are on offer at the new Svastii Wellness Academy.

LLC managing director Paulomi Dhawan said: "In the next couple of years, more than 700 new spas, both homegrown and international brands, are expected to open in India.

"According to the industry estimates, the existing 2300 spas in the country have created direct and indirect employment for about 400,000 people and require 20,000 more trained professionals."
