GWI report shows wellness as new baseline for Dubai luxury real estate

GWI report shows wellness as new baseline for Dubai luxury real estate

Keturah founder says industry needs to work together to catch up with government vision, market momentum

Dubai, UAE, Aug 3: Dubai’s luxury real estate developers are being urged to treat wellness as the new baseline for how homes are designed and built, as global demand grows for healthier living environments.

The Global Wellness Institute (GWI) says the industry’s next phase is the normalization of health-supportive design as a standard expectation rather than a luxury feature.

It believes the greatest opportunity now lies in closer collaboration between planners, architects, public health leaders and wellness professionals to create homes and communities that proactively support long-term health.

Dubai Luxury developer Keturah has backed the GWI’s findings, saying the shift towards health-focused design presents an opportunity for the wider industry to work together in raising standards, and reinforcing city’s position as a global leader in wellness real estate.

“The next phase for the industry is collaboration rather than competition,” said Talal M. Al Gaddah, CEO and Founder of Keturah. “We need planners, architects, public health leaders and wellness professionals working together, not developers acting alone. Dubai has the government vision and the market momentum to lead this globally, and now the wider industry needs to catch up.”

The GWI’s latest Initiative Trends report projects the global wellness real estate sector will exceed $1 trillion by 2029, reflecting a transition from wellness as a luxury aspiration to evidence-based infrastructure.

Earlier this year, the GWI identified the UAE as one of the world’s fastest-growing wellness real estate markets. It said wellness real estate now represents more than 12% of all construction in the UAE, with the market having grown from $3.3 billion to $14.6 billion between 2017 and 2025.

It also reported that more than 555,000 wellness-focused residential units were in the pipeline at developments across the UAE and Saudi Arabia. In Dubai, these include Keturah Reserve, the AED5.7 billion bio-living community in Mohammed Bin Rashid City’s District 7, and the Ritz-Carlton Residences at Keturah Resort beside Dubai Creek, set to become the region’s first wellness-certified waterfront community.

The four main wellness in real estate trends highlighted by the GWI include primal architecture, which uses softer lighting, natural materials and intuitive wayfinding to help shift occupants from stress to calm. Another is neuroarchitecture, which applies neuroscience to understand how light, acoustics and spatial design influence mood, cognition and long-term health.

The GWI also identifies a growing move towards designing out microplastics by replacing synthetic finishes with more natural materials such as wool, stone and solid wood, recognising the built environment as an important part of preventive healthcare.

It also highlights the role of healthier, more walkable communities in supporting mobility, independence and ageing well, with better designed surroundings helping people maintain wellbeing throughout their lives.

AIIMS Director Emphasises the Real-World Benefits of Mental Arithmetic

 

Mangalagiri, August 2, 2026: Over 1,200 children aged between 5 and 14 years showcased extraordinary mental arithmetic skills at SIP Regional Prodigy 2026, one of India’s largest mental arithmetic competitions for children, held at CK Conventions, Mangalagiri, on Sunday.

The competition was inaugurated by Col. Shashikanth Thumma, Director, AIIMS Mangalagiri, in the presence of Sibi Sekhar, Director, SIP Academy India; Uma Swaminathan, Head – New Franchisee Acquisition; Praveen E.G., Regional Business Head – South & Head, International Acquisition; and Jabeer Baig, State Head (Andhra Pradesh), SIP Academy India.

Addressing the gathering, Col. Shashikanth Thumma described the participants as “live supercomputers.”

“You are human calculators, solving sums faster than calculators. This programme develops skills to solve not only mathematics problems but also life’s challenges. My own children are participating in this competition. Practice makes perfect—keep practising, embrace challenges and strive for excellence,” he said.

He added that mental arithmetic builds skills for life beyond mathematics.

AIIMS Director Emphasises the Real-World Benefits of Mental Arithmetic

Speaking on the occasion, Sibi Sekhar, Director, SIP Academy India, said mental arithmetic is more relevant in the Artificial Intelligence era than ever before.

“While AI can provide answers, children still need strong cognitive abilities, logical thinking, concentration, memory and problem-solving skills. Mental arithmetic develops these foundational capabilities, enabling children to think independently and confidently.”

Announcing the organisation’s international expansion, Sibi Sekhar said SIP Academy India has entered the United States, marking a significant milestone for Indian education entrepreneurship.

The organisation will initially serve the Indian diaspora, including a large Telugu community, before expanding to the wider American market. The move positions SIP Academy among a select group of Indian education brands exporting home-grown learning methodologies to global markets.

Across India, SIP Academy currently operates over 1,100 centres, training nearly 1.9 lakh children. Over the next three years, the organisation aims to expand to 2,000 centres and increase enrolment to 3 lakh students.

The academy is also strengthening its international footprint following its entry into the United States while exploring expansion into other overseas markets. 

Uma Swaminathan, Head – New Franchisee Acquisition, said Andhra Pradesh is one of SIP Academy’s priority markets. “We currently operate 25 centres in Andhra Pradesh and plan to double this number to 50 in the coming years,” she said.

Innovation in Testing Concentration

One of the biggest attractions of the competition was the innovative ‘Concentration Round’. As loud music filled the venue, children solved mental arithmetic problems without losing focus. Despite the energetic atmosphere—with participants singing, dancing, cheering and clapping—they completed the calculations with remarkable speed and accuracy, demonstrating that true concentration is the ability to remain focused amid distractions.

 

About SIP Regional Prodigy

SIP Regional Prodigy is the regional championship of the annual SIP Prodigy competition and serves as a qualifying event for the national finals. Participants were tested in mental arithmetic, abacus calculations, multiplication, division, visual arithmetic, speed and accuracy through a series of time-bound challenges. In some categories, students solved up to 300 arithmetic problems in just 11 minutes, showcasing exceptional concentration, memory and calculation speed. The Andhra Pradesh regional winners will qualify for the National SIP Prodigy 2026, to be held in Kochi in November, where nearly 5,000 children from across the country will compete.

Jabeer Baig, State Head (Andhra Pradesh), said around 7,000 children are currently undergoing SIP Abacus training across the state through centres in Vijayawada, Guntur, Mangalagiri, Tirupati, Chittoor, Anantapur, Hindupur, Kadiri, Tadepalli, Tadepalligudem, Rajahmundry and Kakinada.

GST Revenue Hits INR 2.11 Lakh Crore in July, Reflecting Strong Economic Growth

Aug 1, 2026 by Neel Achary 0 Comments

New Delhi, Aug 1: India’s gross Goods and Services Tax (GST) collections recorded a significant rise in July, reaching ₹2.11 lakh crore with a 15.4 per cent year-on-year growth, signalling strong economic activity, rising consumption, and improved tax compliance.

The latest GST figures highlight the continued momentum of India’s economy, with businesses across sectors contributing to higher revenue collections. The growth reflects increased trade activity, steady consumer demand, and greater participation in the formal economy.

The rise in GST collections is expected to strengthen government finances and support investments in infrastructure, public services, and development programmes. Higher revenue generation provides greater flexibility for growth-focused initiatives while helping maintain fiscal stability.

The improved performance has also been supported by technology-driven tax systems, digital compliance measures, and enhanced transparency in the GST framework. These reforms have helped simplify tax processes, improve efficiency, and encourage more businesses to operate within the formal system.

For businesses, the steady expansion of GST collections reflects a more integrated national market with smoother interstate trade and improved ease of doing business. The positive trend also supports confidence among industries and investors about India’s economic outlook.

The continued growth in GST revenue underlines the strength of India’s consumption-driven economy and reinforces GST’s role as a key contributor to economic development and financial stability.

Samudra Manthan to Strengthen India’s Energy Security by Unlocking Offshore Oil and Gas Potential

Aug 1, 2026 by Neel Achary 0 Comments

New Delhi, Aug 1: India is taking a significant step towards strengthening its energy security with the ‘Samudra Manthan’ initiative, a strategic effort focused on exploring and developing the country’s offshore oil and gas resources.

The initiative aims to tap into India’s vast offshore energy potential by using advanced exploration technologies and modern scientific techniques. By increasing domestic production of oil and natural gas, Samudra Manthan is expected to help reduce India’s dependence on imports while supporting the nation’s growing energy requirements.

India’s energy demand has continued to rise alongside economic growth and industrial expansion. Strengthening domestic exploration capabilities will play an important role in ensuring a more secure, reliable, and resilient energy supply for the future.

Through deeper exploration of offshore regions, the initiative is expected to encourage investment in the energy sector, create new employment opportunities, and promote the development of advanced technologies in exploration and production.

The move also aligns with India’s broader vision of achieving greater self-reliance in critical sectors. While the country continues to accelerate renewable energy adoption, domestic oil and gas resources will remain important in supporting industries, transportation, and economic growth during the energy transition.

Samudra Manthan represents a major opportunity to discover new energy resources beneath India’s waters and strengthen the country’s position in the global energy landscape. The initiative reflects India’s commitment to innovation, resource development, and long-term energy security.

With continued focus on technology, investment, and sustainable resource management, Samudra Manthan is expected to contribute significantly to building a stronger and more self-reliant energy future for India.
