Company Overview
Leela Life (https://www.leelalife.com) is a mission-driven, early-stage venture in the holistic wellbeing space, headquartered in New York. In the rapidly evolving global wellbeing market, there is a significant shift towards a more integrated approach that encompasses mental, emotional, physical, social, spiritual, and environmental health. Our mission is to serve the wellbeing needs of accomplished individuals worldwide who are striving for a more harmonious, healthier, and joyful life. Our offerings are rooted in authentic Indic knowledge from ancient traditions that address modern-day challenges.
Our mission is to address the silent epidemic of listlessness among successful professionals, empowering them to live joyful, fulfilling lives by aligning with their innate nature.
We’re seeking empathetic and skilled Leela Life Guides to join us in this transformative journey and become catalysts for holistic wellbeing.
Background
In recent years, a silent epidemic has emerged, primarily affecting individuals who have achieved significant success in education, professional careers, and financial stability. This condition, marked by a sense of listlessness and joylessness, is spreading globally, bringing with it symptoms such as lack of enthusiasm, existential questioning, unexplained physical ailments, or pervasive fatigue.
Many of these issues stem from deep-seated compromises in pursuit of success, including the suppression of core instincts and the neglect of "holistic wellbeing" in favor of quick fixes that fail to address the underlying issues.
While many of these individuals have embraced practices like Yoga and Meditation, they are often unaware of the vast realm of practical Indic solutions available to them. India's ancient knowledge spans various domains, including Health, Mindfulness, Food, Intimacy, Personal Care, Nature, Spirituality, and Art, all aimed at fostering a joyful and fulfilling life. However, the sheer breadth of these insights can make it difficult for individuals to find and integrate the most relevant solutions for their holistic wellbeing.
However, the sheer breadth of insights, practices, and products within the Indic knowledge system, coupled with the multitude of specialists and sources advocating them, makes it challenging for individuals to discover, choose, and integrate the most relevant solutions for their holistic wellbeing.
Leela Life’s product helps these individuals find the unique, personalized combination of wellbeing solutions and determine relevant life routines efficiently, using ancient Indic knowledge sourced from authentic experts and proprietary algorithms.
Who We Serve
Our clients are highly motivated wellbeing enthusiasts aged 35-55, often senior leaders in Fortune 1000 companies, who prioritize fitness, nutrition, mental, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing. They seek personalized, sustainable solutions that align success with joy, and Leela Life is here to guide them.
