Reimagining Wellness in a World of Change
The Radiant Wellness Conclave is set to return for its eighth edition, bringing together a dynamic group of visionaries, innovators, and thought leaders. This year’s event promises to be a powerful platform for exploring well-being through the lens of nine dimensions: physical, intellectual, social, technology, financial, environmental, emotional, occupational, and health. The conclave has become a beacon for those seeking to understand and embrace holistic living.
This year also marks a significant milestone as it celebrates ten years of the Radiant Wellness initiative. Over the past decade, the platform has remained committed to fostering meaningful conversations on personal and societal transformation. The 2025 edition of the conclave will take place on August 9 at the Taj Coromandel in Chennai, with the theme “9 Dimensions of Wellness in an Era of Disruption.” This theme reflects the urgent need to rethink wellness in today’s fast-changing world.
In addition to insightful speaker sessions, the conclave will continue to present the T.H.E. Awards 2025, which recognize innovation and impact in the fields of Technology, Healthcare, and Environment. The event will also honor veteran actor and social activist Shabana Azmi with the Radiant Lifetime Achievement Award for her remarkable contributions to cinema and social equity. Nominations are now open for individuals and organizations making a difference in these sectors.
Dr. Renuka David, founder and curator of the conclave, emphasized the importance of redefining wellness beyond individual health. She stated, “In a world that is evolving rapidly and often unpredictably, we need to redefine wellness as something that goes beyond individual health. Through this year’s edition and the T.H.E. Awards, we hope to not just inspire personal transformation but also celebrate those who are creating large-scale impact in society.”
