In the realm of holistic wellness, where ancient wisdom meets modern-day aspirations for health, the Indus Valley Ayurvedic Centre (IVAC) has consistently stood out as a beacon of authenticity and excellence. It is with immense pride and gratitude that IVAC announces its latest distinguished recognition: being named “Best Authentic Panchakarma & Ayurvedic Therapies in India” at the South India Healthcare Excellence Awards 2025. This prestigious award not only celebrates IVAC’s unwavering commitment to traditional Ayurvedic practices but also underscores its pivotal role in shaping the future of healthcare in India and globally.
The South India Healthcare Excellence Awards 2025, held on June 22, 2025, at the esteemed Sir Puttanna Chetty Town Hall in Bengaluru, was a grand assembly of healthcare leaders, senior government officials, and media partners. The event aimed to honour organisations that are setting new benchmarks in clinical quality, patient safety, and innovation within the healthcare sector. For IVAC, this accolade is a powerful affirmation of three decades dedicated to disciplined, classical Ayurveda and an inspiration to deepen its service to every guest who entrusts their health to the centre.
A Testament to Authenticity and Excellence
At the heart of IVAC’s philosophy lies a profound dedication to authenticity. “Authenticity is our North Star,” proclaimed Dr. Talavane Krishna, Founder & Medical Director of IVAC. This guiding principle is evident in every facet of IVAC’s operations, from its physician-led Panchakarma protocols to its stringent NABH-accredited standards. The independent jury of the South India Healthcare Excellence Awards specifically commended IVAC for these very aspects, alongside its consistently high international guest-satisfaction scores. This recognition is not merely an award; it is a validation of IVAC’s steadfast adherence to the purest forms of Ayurvedic healing, ensuring that each therapy and treatment is deeply rooted in ancient wisdom while being delivered with modern precision and care.
