EBG Group, a rapidly growing Indian conglomerate with interests across mobility, health, realty, lifestyle, food, services, technology, and education, has announced acclaimed actor Mrunal Thakur as the brand ambassador for its wellness-hospitality venture, Carlton Wellness. The association marks an important milestone in the group’s mission to create a credible, premium, and regulated wellness ecosystem in India.

As part of this partnership, Mrunal Thakur will lead Carlton Wellness’s brand films, digital narratives, experiential wellness campaigns, and flagship property launches. These initiatives will be rolled out in phases across key markets, strengthening Carlton Wellness’s presence among modern Indian consumers seeking balanced and holistic wellbeing.

Speaking on the association, Dr. Irfan Khan, Chairman and Founder of EBG Group, shared that Mrunal Thakur was chosen for her strong alignment with the values of wellness, mindful living, and inner balance. He noted that her modern grace, emotional strength, and understated elegance reflect the core philosophy of Carlton Wellness, which focuses on preventive care, longevity, and conscious luxury. He added that the collaboration reinforces the group’s long-term commitment to building a meaningful and scalable wellness platform in India.

Mrunal Thakur, expressing her thoughts on the partnership, said that wellness is deeply personal to her and appreciated Carlton Wellness’s approach that goes beyond surface-level luxury. She highlighted that the brand encourages people to slow down, reconnect with themselves, and prioritise holistic health, making the association both natural and meaningful for her.

Carlton Wellness Group, under its strategic partnership with EBG Group, is being developed as an integrated wellness-hospitality platform. Its offerings span wellness resorts, destination retreats, city and hotel-based spas, and wellness-focused vacation homes and residences. The platform combines clinical and experiential wellness practices such as Ayurveda, naturopathy, mindfulness, and hydrotherapy, while adapting global wellness standards to suit Indian lifestyles. A strong emphasis is placed on preventive healthcare, longevity, and improving overall quality of life.

Currently, multiple Carlton Wellness spa formats are set to operate across select partner locations, with licensed spa projects already live within premium hospitality and real estate developments. Flagship wellness retreat and resort projects are at advanced stages of development in cities including Ahmedabad, Indore, and Manipal. The brand has also confirmed expansion plans across Hyderabad, Bhubaneswar, Surat, Lucknow, Bangalore, and Manipal, strengthening its footprint across metro and Tier-1 markets.

Looking ahead, Carlton Wellness plans a broader expansion across Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka, Kerala, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand, and key NCR and metro hubs. The roadmap includes the launch of 20 to 30 wellness spas in major cities, four to six destination wellness retreats, two to three boutique wellness resorts in nature-led or coastal locations, and one to two luxury wellness residential or vacation home projects.

Backed by this strong expansion pipeline, the EBG Carlton platform is projecting revenues in the range of ₹80 to ₹120 crore in the near term, with plans to scale up to ₹180 to ₹250 crore by FY27. Revenue streams will be driven by spa operations, memberships, resort and retreat bookings, licensing and revenue-share models, managed wellness vacation homes, and curated wellness programs and collaborations.

Over the next few years, the alliance aims to establish flagship wellness assets and urban spa leadership, expand to over 50 wellness touchpoints nationwide, and emerge as India’s largest regulated wellness network. With future plans for international expansion into GCC and Southeast Asian markets, EBG Group and Carlton Wellness are positioning themselves at the intersection of conscious luxury, longevity science, and holistic wellbeing.

With Mrunal Thakur as the face of the brand, Carlton Wellness continues its journey toward becoming one of India’s most trusted and globally respected wellness-hospitality names.
