About Us
All that is required to realise the Self is to “Be Still”.
NILAI – Experience Stillness
Welcome, dear seekers!
We are Team NILAI and here is a little something about who we are. Our own Self-Realization is the greatest service we can render the world. Dr. Dinesh Kumar Gunasekaran, Founder & Dr. Shwetha Raj Dinesh, Co-Founder were involved in the hospitality and service domain for over a decade with our first initiative and the passion project – Ecorganic Boutique Farmstays & Experiences – a collection of eco-friendly getaways that offer exclusive nature stay experiences, treks & a signature Plantation Resort. We also are full-time working professionals in high-end super speciality high volume corporate allopathic centres.
As we juggled our profession, passion and family duties, realization struck us that though we treated and cured the ailments of people and were the best of hosts for the wondrous travellers, little did we contribute towards the prevention and wholesome wellness of an individual and to their thirst for liberation & self-exploration, which lead to our hunger to create a wellness collective – an amalgamation of the best of all streams of therapy which aims at healing the human entity inside out as a whole and boosting their innate potential backed by science and evidence.
Conceived out of that thought was NILAI. We pondered over and understood the needs of today’s human populace and their wants with regard to emotional, physical and general well-being. We uncovered the general lack of guidance and support for acquiring the right knowledge to deal with the multifaceted lifestyle of today. Hence, we decided to come up with a one-stop haven for all esoteric and essential wellness needs. When the pupil is ready, the master arrives. True to that, pooled in the most talented and like-minded experts Mr. Sundara Kadeswaran, Dr. Sowmya Vadana, Mr.Satish, and Mrs. Shiny who gave in their valuable inputs and time to grow this tiny delicate brainchild into a beautiful young maiden. With ultra-specific customised protocols formulated and backed by scientific evidence, this niche multidisciplinary module has been created to achieve a universal balance in the self and the collective.
