centres in the city.

We plan to open our own 50 centers by 2011 and will look at further expansion in Indian and global markets through our sub brands MASK, SMILE, Xpresscare & Foot Solutions and our own private labels. The Indian retail wellness market is unregulated and offers myriad products and services. Hence, the ACHSI certification would play a crucial role in the quality of service delivery."
