A unique blend inspired by traditional and modern practices, Aujasya by The Leela encompasses a collection of authentic experiences that build vivacity and promote the vigour of life, built around the two Rs of wellbeing – Restore (food) and Renew (mindfulness).

The brand has launched the first pillar, Restore (food), in collaboration with renowned nutritionist and food consultant, Dr Ankita Jalori. The Leela has reimagined culinary experiences across the country by improving the nutritional profile of food menus and offering healthy alternatives.
