Alibaug to be fastest growing destination in India: Aditya Kilachand

04 Aug 2021 CW Team

Seeing the data of rise in second homes in Alibaug, entrepreneur Aditya Kilachand told the media that the coastal town of Alibaug will become the fastest-growing destination in India within five years.

Alibag has quick connectivity from Mumbai and a quick boat ride from the Gateway of India. The incoming of the city dwellers to buy second homes in Alibaug resulted in infrastructure upgrades, better roads, stable electricity, and a better life. And all these were possible due to the Covid-19 pandemic when work from home gave freedom to shift the workplace to their homes in Alibaug.

Community space was the missing piece in the scenario, where a group of people shares a common interest and a space to unwind. Here Aditya Kalichand comes with its Avas Wellness Living Project, an expert with the concept of community. Avas Living is the maiden venture of the company for those who want a more holistic way of living, with health and luxury at the same time, and want to live in-between nature.

A biophilic design, along with Wellness Centre and Spa, is a unique and new business model where real estate, wellness, and technology meets at the same time to cater for the buyer with personalisation and attention to every detail.

CEO of Serum Institute of India, Adar Poonawalla, and the major investors of Avas Wellness believe that Avas Wellness has a competitive advantage in the field where the companies are already committed to good health and mental wellness for about two decades. The concept of Avas combining luxury with a holistic way of life deeply resonates with the company's philosophy.
