Yoga and wellness consulting for government health policy
The Opportunity
State governments across India are now officially backing yoga, nutrition, meditation, and pranayama as solutions to public health issues. However, most government departments lack trained staff to design, implement, and scale these programs. Schools, AYUSH departments, and municipal health centers need expertise to convert political promises into working wellness programs.
Market Size
₹850 Cr addressable market annually — government health budgets across 28 states + municipal corporations seeking wellness program design and training delivery
Business Model
Provide end-to-end wellness program consulting to state health departments, municipal corporations, and government schools. Design curriculum, train instructors, set up tracking systems, and deliver periodic audits. Charge per-district or per-institution retainers.
Program design fees (₹3-5 lakh per district), instructor training batches (₹50,000-1 lakh per batch of 30 people), annual monitoring contracts (₹1-2 lakh per institution), certification courses for government health workers (₹30,000 per person)
Your 30-Day Action Plan
Identify 3-4 state AYUSH departments and municipal health officers. Schedule 10 initial conversations to understand their current wellness program gaps and budget cycles.
Design 1 sample curriculum (yoga + nutrition for schools) and create a 5-page proposal template. Get feedback from 2 government health officials.
Pitch to 1 district health officer or municipal corporation for a pilot program (1 school or 1 primary health center). Offer 30% discount for case study.
Execute pilot program, document results (attendance, feedback, cost), and use results to approach 5 more government bodies with proven outcomes.
Compliance & Regulatory Angle
Register as a service provider under GST (18% on consulting, 5% on training). Obtain AYUSH board recognition or partner with AYUSH-certified trainers for credibility. No special license needed beyond GST and shop act registration if operating as sole proprietor.
