As conversations on longevity preventive healthcare and healthy ageing continue to grow in India, Fairmont Mumbai presents Longevity Summit India 2026: India Vows for Longevity, in partnership with Le Florence India, on 15-16 August. As India’s first large-scale summit  dedicated exclusively to longevity science, preventive health and human performance, the event aims to bridge global research with practical applications, while fostering meaningful dialogue across healthcare, hospitality, wellness, technology and innovation.

Nitan Chhatwal, Managing Director, Shrem Infrastructure, points out, “When we set out to build this summit, we kept coming back to one gap: India has no shortage of wellness events, but very few genuine platforms where scientific rigour and lived experience actually meet in the same room. Doctors doing serious longevity research were speaking to one audience, and people trying to make sense of their own healthspan were reading something else entirely, often diluted, often trend-driven. We wanted to close that gap.”

He says that the plan was not to add another name to the wellness calendar but to build something India’s longevity science hasn’t really had—a credible platform and a room serious enough to match the stakes of the conversation.

Leading the Longevity Movement

For Fairmont Mumbai, the summit represents more than an industry conference. It is a strategic extension of the brand’s evolving wellness philosophy—one that integrates luxury hospitality with evidence-based preventive health.

Rajiv Kapoor, General Manager, Fairmont Mumbai, shares his perspective. “We’ve always believed that wellness is no longer just about relaxation, it is about enabling people to live healthier, better and longer lives. As the first luxury hotel in India to introduce a dedicated longevity programme along with longevity suites, we saw the opportunity to take that commitment beyond our hotel and create a larger platform for dialogue.”

The first edition of the Longevity Summit India is the result of that vision. “We wanted to bring together leading global experts, clinicians, researchers and innovators to encourage conversations around healthspan and preventive care that are rooted in science and backed by evidence. We believe these are conversations that deserve far greater attention in India,” he says.

What makes the summit unique is the coming together of diverse perspectives—from science and healthcare to wellness and hospitality. “The summit reflects the direction in which Fairmont Mumbai is evolving, where wellness is becoming an integral part of the hospitality experience rather than a standalone offering. As we continue to expand our longevity and wellness ecosystem, including round-the-clock longevity and spa experiences, our focus remains on creating meaningful experiences that have a lasting impact on the lives of our guests,” he adds.

This philosophy is embodied in Fairmont Spa & Longevity and Blu Xone, described as India’s first luxury-integrated longevity hub. Together, these facilities combine preventive healthcare, advanced therapeutic interventions and personalised longevity programmes, reflecting the property’s commitment to creating a comprehensive wellness ecosystem.

Beyond the Format

The summit has been designed as an immersive experience. Anchoring the programme is the Five Bodies Framework—a multidimensional approach that explores longevity through five interconnected pillars of human potential: Earth, Water, Air, Fire and Flow.

Complementing expert discussions and keynote sessions is a thoughtfully curated programme of experiential wellness activities, including underwater meditation, Watsu therapy, breathwork, ice baths, Cymatica sound healing, Blue Mind sessions and poolside wellness rituals. Together, these experiences seek to demonstrate how science-backed practices can translate into everyday wellbeing.

Vikramjeet Sharma, Managing Director, Le Florence India, adds, “For us, Longevity Summit India is about bringing the conversation on longevity closer to people. It is not just about living longer, but about understanding how we can live healthier, more purposeful and more fulfilling lives. We wanted to create a space where science, wellness and real experiences come together, and where people can take away ideas they can actually apply to their own lives.”

With more than 500 curated delegates, the summit’s significance goes beyond the numbers. It signals that longevity is no longer a niche wellness movement. It is becoming a multidisciplinary field with implications for healthcare, technology, hospitality, public policy and the future economy.

The timing is equally significant. With the global wellness economy projected to reach US$8.5 trillion by 2027, longevity is emerging as one of its most dynamic growth sectors. Consumers are increasingly investing in preventive healthcare, advanced diagnostics, personalised wellness programmes and healthy ageing, reflecting a fundamental shift towards proactive wellbeing.

By creating a platform where science, luxury hospitality, wellness and community converge, Fairmont Mumbai is positioning itself at the forefront of India’s longevity movement while contributing to a broader conversation on the future of health, ageing and human performance.
