Health & Wealth Summit 2025: Where Longevity Meets Legacy India's Most Transformative Wellness and Wealth Masterclass Held in Chennai
Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], June 21: In an era where health is the new wealth, India witnessed a groundbreaking convergence of visionaries, medical pioneers, longevity experts, and elite decision-makers at The Leela Palace, Chennai, for the AIWO Health & Wealth Summit 2025 on June 17.
Conceived by Mr. Chinnakannan Sivasankaran, Mentor of AIWO and a globally respected thought leader in vitality and longevity sciences, the summit served as more than an event--it was a full-spectrum reset for the body, mind, and business. Crafted exclusively for India's top-tier CEOs, CXOs, founders, investors, and healthcare professionals, the summit pursued one singular mission: to redefine how India performs, leads, and lives--longer, stronger, and better.
Three Curated Tracks Redefining Peak Human Potential:
-Metabolic & Cardiovascular Mastery: Unlocking science-backed strategies to reverse chronic decline and boost foundational vitality.
-Ageless Beauty & Anti-Aging Science: Exploring biological age reversal and innovations in cellular aesthetics.
-The Billionaire's Hour: Delivering actionable insights on conscious wealth, legacy building, and elite performance psychology.
Sivasankaran set the tone for the day with a powerful proclamation:
"Diabetes is not destiny--it's a mathematical equation. But you can't solve it without your liver."
Dr. Joy Varghese, renowned hepatologist, highlighted the hidden dangers of lifestyle diseases:
"Obesity is a direct passport to fatty liver. And fatty liver is the silent epidemic."
Dr. Arun Kalyanasundaram, one of Chennai's top interventional cardiologists, sharing insights that bridged cutting-edge medicine with real-world application.
Beyond health, the summit ventured into emotional intelligence, conscious capitalism, and sustainable wealth creation.
Dr. Kothandaraman, a prominent voice in diabetes reversal, urged a shift in medical paradigms:
"The anti-inflammatory diet is no longer a trend--it's tomorrow's prescription."
Mr. Kumar Vembu reframed the definition of success: His journey of wealth. A tool is as good as the person uses it. My concept of wealth evolved from having three meals in school to living bit comfortable in college to having authority in workplace to having more influence in the starting of the business carrier to being famous and so on. At last what I realised is not true money rather it is very holistic. We have to be wealthy in a balanced manner including relationship, friends, reputation, happiness and so on.
"True wealth isn't just money--it's reputation, relationships, joy, and balance."
In his closing address, Mr. Sivasankaran distilled decades of entrepreneurial wisdom into a single framework:
"Initiative builds fortunes. Skill sustains them. Marketing defines them. Every business is born to be sold. Attach to success--let profit be the side effect."
This summit was not just a conference--it was a movement. Attendees engaged directly with Mr. Sivasankaran in meaningful, personal interactions. Every session was deeply immersive, intellectually stimulating, and transformative, marking the beginning of a new era at the intersection of longevity science, inner excellence, and legacy wealth.
Health & Wealth Summit 2025 called upon India's most ambitious minds to live consciously, lead purposefully, and build legacies that endure.

Male Infertility Identified as a Growing Contributor to India's Fertility Crisis at the 6th India IVF Summit
VMPL New Delhi [India], July 26: Marking World IVF Day, observed globally on July 25, the 6th India IVF Summit & Awards 2025, hosted by the Integrated Health & Wellbeing (IHW) Council in collaboration with the Indian Society for Assisted Reproduction (ISAR) and sustainability hour supported by the Indian Fertility Society (IFS), brought together over 150 leading voices from India's fertility landscape. While the summit explored broader access and ethical care, a central theme that sparked significant dialogue was the growing burden of male infertility in India. With the theme "Building the World's Most Inclusive IVF Ecosystem," the summit convened clinicians, researchers, embryologists, hospital leaders, legal experts, and patient advocates at Crowne Plaza, New Delhi for a day of meaningful discussions on the future of reproductive care. Among the key discussions, male infertility emerged as a pressing public health concern. According to the Indian Society of Assisted Reproduction, India has approximately 27.5 million individuals facing infertility challenges--with male factor infertility accounting for 40-50% of these cases. This growing prevalence, driven by lifestyle changes, environmental exposures, and undiagnosed medical conditions, underscores the urgent need for awareness, destigmatization, and inclusive treatment approaches. The summit was graced by medical luminaries such as Dr. Ameet Patki- President ISAR, Dr Jaideep Malhotra, Managing Director Rainbow IVF, Past President, ISAR & FOGSI, Dr Hrishikesh Pai- Founder and Medical Director, Bloom IVF Group who shared insights on evolving clinical standards, ART governance, and the ethical dimensions of reproductive technology. While sessions addressed topics such as onco-fertility, genomics, sustainability in IVF, and expanding care to rural regions, many experts agreed that male reproductive health has long been overlooked--both in public discourse and clinical care pathways. A dedicated roundtable on male infertility offered fresh perspectives on diagnosis, counseling, and the role of men in the fertility journey. Adding a significant layer to the day's discussions was the book launch of "How to Freeze Your Biological Clock" by Dr. Gunjan Gupta, Medical Director Gunjan IVF World. The book serves as a comprehensive guide for women navigating fertility planning, but also contributes to the broader dialogue on empowering individuals--both men and women--with timely, evidence-based fertility choices. The summit also introduced the Sustainability Hour, a unique platform focused on environmentally conscious fertility practices. Innovations showcased included low-hormonal stimulation protocols, AI-powered diagnostics, and holistic, patient-first approaches that account for emotional as well as medical wellbeing. In his opening remarks, Mr Kamal Narayan, CEO, IHW Council, stated, "Male infertility is no longer a silent issue, it's a shared reality for millions of families across India. With male factors contributing to around 40-50 percent of infertility cases, this is not a marginal concern, it's a national health priority. At this summit, we recognized that fertility care must evolve to reflect this truth. We can't achieve true inclusivity without addressing male reproductive health head-on. Our goal is to build an ecosystem that is medically sound, emotionally sensitive, and socially inclusive--where care is guided by science and not stigma." The evening concluded with the IVF Awards 2025, honouring over 30 leaders and institutions advancing fertility care through innovation, compassion, and excellence. This year's edition notably amplified efforts in male infertility diagnostics and education, along with regional recognitions that celebrated unsung heroes bringing fertility services to rural and underserved communities. Dr Pankaj Talwar, President,Indian Fertility Society , noted, "For too long, infertility has been viewed through a lens focused only on women, while male infertility now contributing to nearly half of all cases remains shrouded in silence. With rising cases linked to factors like stress, obesity, hormonal imbalances, lifestyle habits such as smoking and alcohol use, and even medication side effects, the issue is more complex than ever. This summit has brought much-needed attention to the male side of the equation. Addressing it openly is critical to building a truly equitable and evidence-based approach to reproductive health in India." Mrs Nikky Gupta, CEO & Co-Founder of Teamwork Communications Group, added, "India stands at a crossroads in its fertility journey. With nearly half of infertility cases involving male factors, we can no longer afford to treat this as a secondary concern. Our response must be holistic and future-ready combining early diagnostics, accessible counselling, targeted public awareness, and strong clinical protocols tailored to male reproductive health. From tackling lifestyle-related causes like obesity and substance use to addressing underlying medical conditions and stigma, male infertility must now take center stage in our national reproductive health narrative and policymaking." As India's IVF market is projected to grow fivefold by 2030--from USD 750 million in 2020 to USD 3.7 billion--the summit reinforced a deeper commitment: to not only expand fertility treatment options, but also to dismantle the stigma surrounding male infertility and restore dignity to every individual's journey to parenthood. The 6th India IVF Summit & Awards 2025, organized by IHW Council in association with ISAR and supported by IFS, is supported by associate partners Meyer Vitabiotics and BSV, session partners Gufic Biosciences and JB Pharma, fertility insurance partner SafeTree, healthcare finance partner Fibe, legal partner Trust Legal, and communication partner Teamwork Communications Group.

TERN Group's founder Avinav Nigam, addresses High-Powered gathering to kickoff Indo-German Healthcare Congress in Berlin
VMPL Berlin [Germany], July 22: TERN Group, a leading force in ethical, AI tech-enabled global healthcare recruitment, proudly supported the Indo-German Healthcare Congress (IGHC) 2025, held in Berlin. Organised under the banner of the Indo-German Young Leaders Forum (IGYLF), the 2 weeks event from 17-31 July 2025, brought together top healthcare leaders, policy experts, and innovators from both India and Germany to address one of the region's most urgent needs: building transparent and future-ready healthcare migration pathways. The Congress kicked off with a landmark event hosted at the Embassy of India in Berlin. The inaugural event at the Indian Embassy was attended by 150+ stakeholders, exceeding venue capacity with several seen standing - including representatives from 15 of Germany's top 20 university hospitals, regional and national nursing, doctor and hospital associations, and delegates from across cities like Hamburg, Frankfurt, and Munich, Stuttgart, and NRW. Senior leaders from Germany's Federal Ministries of Labour, Health, and Foreign Affairs also participated, along with a delegation of 25+ Indian healthcare innovators and policymakers. Opening remarks were delivered by representatives from the Federal Ministry - Mr. Thomas Heim, Federal Ministry for Labour and Social Affairs and Mr. Henning Haab, Federal Ministry for Health. "The turnout in the pouring rain with people travelling from all over Europe and India, made one thing very clear - there's a shared urgency to address healthcare workforce shortages, and a strong appetite for action on both sides," said Avinav Nigam, CEO of TERN Group. "Germany needs talent. India has talent. Our job is to ensure that the bridge between the two is ethical, structured, and supportive for everyone involved." The highlight of the embassy event was a thought-provoking panel moderated by Dr. Dinesh Antil, First Secretary at the Embassy. The panel included RA Marc Schreiner, Managing Director of the Berlin Hospital Association; Pia Turk, Deputy Head of Integration at Charite - Germany's foremost hospital; Avinav Nigam, CEO of TERN Group and Advisor to India's National Skills Development Council; and Dr. Vishnu Ramdeo, Co-Chair of IGYLF. Marc Schreiner highlighted bureaucracy as a key barrier, particularly around visas and credential recognition. Pia Turk shared Charite's ongoing work to support the long-term success of international talent, especially admiring Indian talent's work ethic, with 100+ Indian nurses already integrated and a growing commitment to India as a sourcing geography. Avinav brought a people-first perspective to the table: "The real journey begins long before the flight. Nurses in India start thinking about moving overseas five or six years in advance, often from the moment they join nursing school," he shared. "We need to meet them where they are, support them with language access, financial continuity, and clarity. The system today expects them to pause their lives and income for nine months just to learn German. That's neither scalable nor fair." "In Germany, the average starting salary for a nurse is EUR2,800 - EUR3,200, compared to ₹15,000 - ₹25,000 per month in India. That income gap is real, but it's not just about money. It's about dignity, growth, and long-term career prospects. And yet, even with such high stakes, many nurses still face uncertainty, delays, and exploitation." He also addressed the issue of unethical recruitment: "There are a lot of scams happening in this space, so people have difficulty in trusting the process," Avinav said. "If we move towards a more end-to-end digital, government-backed system, we can drive more accountability in the supply chain. There is still a seven-layer gap between the employer and the talent and TERN wants to break that into a two-sided play, where employers can meet talent directly." "When information is unclear, nurses rely on word-of-mouth or fall prey to exploitative agents. Some pay EUR10,000-EUR50,000 just to chase their dreams. That's unacceptable. TERN's role is to rewrite that script - with zero fees, total transparency, and lifelong support," Avinav added. TERN's commitment to the IGHC went beyond sponsorship. The company flew in a batch of Indian nurses to attend all three days of the Congress, giving them firsthand exposure to Germany's healthcare landscape and direct engagement with future employers. A 10-member TERN team was also present on-ground in Berlin to support the IGYLF organizing committee throughout the event. As discussions progressed into topics like visa digitization, recognition policy reform, and curriculum harmonization under the newly announced DSP policy, the Health Congress showcased a unified vision for change. These reforms are designed to make migration faster, fairer, and more frictionless. "This isn't just about filling jobs. It's about building dignity, systems, and long-term success for nurses and health systems alike," Avinav said. "TERN is here for the long haul and so are the nurses we stand with." The Indo-German Healthcare Congress 2025 continues with a series of events culminating in an exclusive talent-focused summit on July 31 in Berlin, also supported by TERN, reinforcing its position as a long-term partner in the global healthcare mobility movement.
