In a landmark initiative to combat the effects of air pollution, Nirvana Being, India’s leading clean air solutions provider, has joined hands with Greenr Café, a popular health-conscious eatery chain, to establish “Pure Air Zones” at its outlets. This collaboration is setting new standards in the hospitality industry by making clean, breathable air a key aspect of the dining experience.
Patrons at Greenr Café’s Greater Kailash and Vasant Vihar locations are greeted by real-time displays of AQI (Air Quality Index), PM2.5, and CO2 levels, both indoors and outdoors. This transparency reflects a firm commitment to environmental accountability and health-focused dining. These safe air zones are made possible through advanced ventilation, filtration, and automation systems installed by Nirvana Being, ensuring patrons can breathe easy while enjoying their meals.
Jai Dhar Gupta, Founder of Nirvana Being, highlighted the importance of this initiative: “As more people experience health complications due to toxic air, there is a growing demand for safe spaces where they can dine and gather without compromising on health. Our collaboration with Greenr Café reflects a shared vision to offer patrons clean air they can trust, setting a new benchmark for health and safety in India’s hospitality sector. Our aim is to inspire other businesses to adopt similar clean air standards, making indoor air quality a priority in all public spaces for the well-being of our communities.”
Echoing this sentiment, Niharika Jain, Founder of Greenr Café, emphasized the role of clean air in holistic wellness: “Air and water are fundamental to human health and existence, and everyone should have the right to access them in their purest form. At Greenr, our aim is to create spaces where people can come together, enjoy wholesome food, and feel their best. With the alarming rise in air pollution, it became equally important for us to ensure our patrons could breathe clean, safe air while they are here.”
This partnership not only enhances the Greenr Café experience but also underscores the importance of creating eco-conscious public spaces. By combining Greenr’s commitment to holistic wellness with Nirvana Being’s expertise in clean air solutions, the initiative is a step towards a future where safe, breathable air becomes a standard in India’s hospitality sector.
Together, Nirvana Being and Greenr Café are inspiring a broader movement towards health-first, environmentally sustainable public spaces, proving that even small steps can lead to significant change.

Wyndham Rewards is making travel rewards more accessible with the launch of its first-ever debit card in the U.S. Developed in collaboration with Galileo Financial Technologies, SoFi’s technology platform, and issued by Sunrise Banks, the new Mastercard-powered debit card allows users to earn Wyndham Rewards points on everyday purchases. This marks a significant shift in the hospitality industry, catering to younger consumers and those who prefer debit over credit.
The Wyndham Rewards Debit Card offers multiple benefits, including one point per dollar spent at Wyndham hotels, gas stations, and grocery stores, and one point per two dollars spent on other qualifying purchases. Cardholders also receive complimentary Wyndham Rewards Gold membership, which includes perks like preferred rooms, late checkout, and accelerated points earning. Additionally, users can enjoy booking discounts, a welcome bonus of 2,500 points, and up to 7,500 anniversary bonus points annually—enough for a free night at thousands of Wyndham properties.
Charmaine Taylor, SVP of Strategic and Financial Partnerships at Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, highlighted the importance of the card, stating, “Many travelers, especially Gen Z, prefer debit cards but miss out on hotel rewards. With the Wyndham Rewards Debit Card, they can now earn points on everyday purchases and redeem them for meaningful travel experiences.”
The decision to launch a debit card stems from research showing that nearly 70% of Gen Z consumers use debit cards weekly, with travel being a top spending priority. Wyndham’s initiative ensures that travelers who favor debit transactions are no longer left out of lucrative loyalty programs.
Powered by Galileo Financial Technologies, the card benefits from fast and secure digital banking solutions, allowing Wyndham to bring the product to market quickly. Derek White, CEO of Galileo, emphasized, “This debit card is a game-changer for travel rewards, proving that fintech can enhance customer loyalty and engagement.”
The Wyndham Rewards Debit Card complements the brand’s existing suite of credit cards while offering a new way for debit-preferred travelers to earn and redeem rewards. With waived monthly fees for qualifying balances and no ATM surcharges within the Cirrus network, the card ensures a seamless and rewarding travel experience.
