Sanjeev Kumar, Chief Visionary Officer, HARLEY of LONDON, said: "India is facing a silent crisis. Lifestyle diseases are rising faster than our systems can respond, and we do not have enough trained professionals to support the well-being needs of 1.4 billion people. The lack of skilled health and wellness professionals is already causing real damage -- India is projected to lose $4.8 trillion in economic output by 2030 due to lifestyle-related productivity loss and system strain. Alongside the shortage of clinicians, the country faces a severe deficit in healthcare management talent -- a gap repeatedly highlighted by national programmes. India doesn't just need more doctors -- it needs skilled leaders who can build and run the systems that keep communities well. This Centre of Excellence is built to close that gap. Instead of theory-heavy models, we are creating practical, industry-ready skills in health, wellness, and lifestyle -- capabilities that translate directly into jobs in one of India's fastest-growing sectors. We are building a world-class learning environment that equips young people with the skills to build meaningful careers and uplift the well-being of the communities they come from."
