The Rs3,000 crore Yash Birla group entered the health and wellness segment with the acquisition of the Kerala-based ayurveda spa chain.
As part of its expansion plans, the company aims to open about 200 therapy centres pan India over the next 5 years with an investment of Rs 50-crore, he said. Presently, it has 20 such centres.

"These centres will provide treatment for lifestyle disorders and chronic disorders, for which treatment is not available with the conventional medicines," he said. The company today launched the country's first Mobile Spine Clinic in the city, which, it said is the first of its kind in the industry.
