VIVEK SAHNI CEO & Co-Founder, Kama Ayurveda
Your best wellness holiday?
Vana, in the Himalayas. There’s nothing like it. It’s calm and beautiful, with amazing doctors, treatments, brilliant food and interesting people.
A place or journey that attracted you to the Ayurveda beauty regime?
The first time I went to Coimbatore and discovered the Arya Vaidya Pharmacy. I met the doctors and understood an alternative way to heal the body.
A favourite shop you discovered on your travels?
I love junk, thrift and antique shops. Even if I don’t buy anything, there’s tons of inspiration. (kamaayurveda.com)
