As World Environment Day approaches, Six Senses Vana, a pioneer in sustainable hospitality, unveils its latest initiative, Earth Lab. This new venture underscores the retreat's deep commitment to environmental stewardship and aligns with this year's global theme focusing on land restoration, desertification, and drought resilience.

Earth Lab is a testament to Six Senses Vana's foundational philosophy that nature is integral to our existence, not just an external element. This commitment is evidenced by the retreat's attainment of LEED Platinum Certification from the U.S. Green Building Council in 2015, a first for the Indian hospitality industry. The lab serves as a dynamic hub for sustainability efforts, displaying the retreat’s energy consumption and waste management statistics prominently, educating guests on the importance of environmental conservation.

Located in the serene surroundings of Six Senses Vana, Earth Lab offers a range of engaging activities aimed at enhancing guests' connection to the environment. These include Seed Bomb Making workshops, where guests can create seed-laden clay balls to aid in reforestation efforts, and Workout while Watering sessions that combine physical fitness with the watering of the retreat's extensive gardens. Additionally, the Bamboo Basket & Craft Making Workshop teaches the sustainable use of bamboo, emphasising its environmental benefits.

The retreat also features several interactive displays such as Birds of Vana and Trees of Vana, which educate guests on the local flora and fauna, further enriching their stay. The Sustainable Practices Wall provides insights into the retreat’s numerous green initiatives, from responsible sourcing and eco-friendly construction methods to advanced waste management techniques.

Six Senses Vana’s commitment to sustainability extends to its architectural choices, featuring biophilic design elements like living walls and natural lighting, which reduce energy consumption and enhance guest health. The use of low VOC (volatile organic compounds) paints and FSC-certified wood furniture in guest rooms and common areas highlights the retreat’s commitment to indoor environmental quality and responsible forestry.

Further solidifying its environmental initiatives, Six Senses Vana operates an in-house water bottling plant, significantly cutting down on plastic usage, and a high-efficiency sewage treatment facility that recycles greywater. Additionally, the retreat’s mushroom hut and organic gardens allow for a farm-to-table dining experience that supports local farmers and reduces food miles.

With the launch of Earth Lab, Six Senses Vana not only celebrates World Environment Day but also reinforces its role as a leader in sustainable tourism, providing guests with a transformative experience that respects and nurtures the natural world. This initiative is a step forward in Six Senses Vana's journey towards a more sustainable and environmentally conscious hospitality industry.

Revital, one of India’s leading multivitamin brands from Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Limited, has unveiled its latest integrated campaign featuring Bollywood actor Vicky Kaushal, bringing a fresh perspective to the conversation around everyday fatigue and energy.

The campaign aims to encourage consumers to recognise that feeling low on energy may not always be linked only to physical exertion. In today’s fast-paced environment, long working hours, constant digital connectivity, personal responsibilities, and everyday stress can contribute to feelings of tiredness even without intense physical activity.

Building on the evolving understanding of modern lifestyles, Revital’s campaign highlights the impact of stress and mental demands on overall energy levels. The initiative encourages consumers to take a more holistic approach towards everyday vitality while highlighting the importance of scientifically formulated nutrition.

Featuring Vicky Kaushal, the campaign film portrays relatable everyday situations and brings alive Revital’s message of understanding fatigue beyond traditional perceptions.

Commenting on the campaign, Vidhi Shanghvi, Executive Director, Sun Pharma, said that changing consumer lifestyles have created a need to redefine how people view energy and fatigue. She highlighted the importance of science-led nutritional solutions in supporting consumers as they navigate increasingly demanding routines.

The campaign has been conceptualised in partnership with Ogilvy India and aims to shift the conversation around fatigue from only physical tiredness towards a wider understanding of lifestyle-related energy challenges.

Akshay Seth, Senior Executive Creative Director, Ogilvy India, said the campaign was designed to create a relatable yet thought-provoking narrative by exploring the role of stress as an everyday factor influencing energy levels.

The integrated campaign will be rolled out across multiple platforms, including television, digital channels, connected TV (CTV), OTT platforms, and social media, allowing Revital to engage consumers across different touchpoints.

Backed by a formulation containing 20 essential nutrients, including Natural Ginseng, Revital continues to focus on supporting everyday energy and nutritional needs. The brand’s latest campaign reflects its commitment towards addressing evolving consumer expectations through science-backed wellness solutions.

With growing awareness around preventive health and lifestyle wellness, Revital aims to strengthen its position in India’s nutrition and wellness segment by encouraging consumers to rethink how they understand fatigue, energy, and overall well-being

With this partnership, we're bringing both together - FITPASS helps people move right and make healthier choices, while Swiggy provides those healthy food choices.”

FITPASS has also observed increasing consumer adoption of integrated wellness routines, with a majority of FITPASS 360 users accessing multiple services including gym memberships, nutrition support, AI-based coaching, virtual workouts, and consultations.

Osho Dham marked International Yoga Day on June 21, 2026, with a day dedicated to meditation, breath awareness, and inner transformation. The celebration brought together participants seeking to experience yoga beyond physical practice, focusing instead on mindfulness and deeper states of consciousness.

The day began with Dynamic Meditation from 6:30 AM to 7:30 AM, energising participants through Osho’s signature active meditation technique. The morning set the tone for a deeper experiential journey into awareness and inner balance.

The celebrations continued with a special Pranayoga Meditation session held in the Meditation Hall, facilitated by Swami Chaitanya Keerti. The session explored the concept of Pranayoga, rooted in Patanjali Yoga philosophy and Vigyan Bhairav Tantra, focusing on the science of breath awareness.

Participants were guided to observe the natural rhythm of their breath, gradually moving from mental activity toward stillness and heightened awareness. The practice emphasised breath as a bridge between body and consciousness, aligning with Osho’s teachings on inner transformation.

Speaking on the occasion, Swami Chaitanya Keerti highlighted that yoga is not limited to physical exercise but serves as a doorway to deeper transformation. He emphasised that meditation helps individuals move beyond surface-level living into a more conscious and inward-focused way of being.

He further shared Osho’s perspective that breath penetrates both body and soul, and that a deeper understanding of breathing can lead to profound self-realisation.

The event concluded with a live band performance, bringing participants together in a moment of shared celebration and reflection. The strong turnout reflected a growing interest in holistic wellness practices and reinforced the significance of meditation-centric approaches to yoga in contemporary life.
