09:00 AM onwards 
Taj MG Road, BengaluruFor too long, wellness has focused on providing access without ensuring a true impact. The challenge is clear - chronic conditions are climbing, care is fragmented and HR teams are under pressure to prove the impact of their wellness spend. This year, we fundamentally shift the conversation to thriving outcomes.
Join us to explore a new paradigm where wellness is a guided journey, not a static offering and we challenge the ecosystem to stop asking, "Are we offering the access?" and start asking, "Is it giving thriving outcomes?"
Thrive Connect 2025 is where we move from providing tools to creating pathways to a healthier, more resilient workforce. It's time to demand not just perks, but pathways. Not just participation, but proof.
2025 is the moment to make wellness thrive, moving it from static provisioning to an active, results-focused system.
Thrive Connect is a must-attend for leaders shaping the future of health and well-being. This event is specifically curated for:
Thrive Connect will help you
Prove Your Impact by learning to leverage data to showcase ROI of your wellness initiatives
Discover closed-loop systems that guide employees from awareness to sustained, positive change.
Build an Accountable Ecosystem where every stakeholder is responsible for delivering real results.
Network with Visionaries who are pioneering a new era of wellness
