Bollywood actor and wellness advocate Shilpa Shetty Kundra presents the honour at Udyog Yogdaan Puraskar 2026, supported by Karnataka Tourism.
Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], April 07: A Bengaluru-based Spiritual Scientist whose wellness framework has reached lives across 30+ countries was conferred the Lifetime Achievement Award in the Wellness Industry (India) on March 28, in one of the country’s most recognised industry honours. Rashmi Aiyappa, Founder of Aashwasan Group of Companies and inventor of Aashwasan Science®, received the award from Bollywood actor, entrepreneur, and wellness advocate Shilpa Shetty Kundra at the Udyog Yogdaan Puraskar 2026, supported by Karnataka Tourism.
The Udyog Yogdaan Puraskar recognises individuals whose contributions have created a lasting legacy in their respective fields. The ceremony, attended by prominent industry leaders, entrepreneurs, and social personalities, provided a national platform to acknowledge Rashmi Aiyappa’s two decades of work at the intersection of spiritual science, quantum phenomena, and human wellness.
At the heart of Rashmi Aiyappa’s work is Aashwasan Science® — a spiritual technology she describes as grounded in quantum phenomena and aimed at enabling holistic well-being at physiological, psychological, and spiritual levels. Since founding Aashwasan® on May 23, 2005, her inventions have recorded more than 100 breakthroughs in health and wellness, with her programmes impacting millions of lives across 30+ countries. In her words, Aashwasan Science® is “spiritual in origin, scientific in approach, and experiential in nature.”
Rashmi Aiyappa’s work has been particularly noted for its reach among those who have exhausted conventional approaches to health and life challenges. Aashwasan, as she has often described it, is “a place where people who have lost hope come to find life.” Her organisation has also guided corporations and institutions through transformation programmes, applying the same principles to organisational well-being.
Apart from Aashwasan Group of Companies, Rashmi Aiyappa’s entrepreneurial footprint spans technology and social impact. She is the Founder and Executive Chairperson of Epiance Software and Aank Humane Technologies, and the Founder & Managing Trustee of Aashwasan Foundation — a combination that has positioned her as a rare figure bridging the worlds of tech entrepreneurship, social innovation, and the science of consciousness. Her work has been covered by more than 250 publications worldwide and featured across major media and radio platforms from 2005 to 2012.
“Aashwasan is nature’s own. It’s a revolution that will continue for lifetimes and is here to stay. The only essence that marks life is love. Love is where it all begins,” Rashmi Aiyappa said.
