1. At a Glance
Aayush Wellness Ltd (AWL) is the sort of stock that turns chai-time investors into wellness gurus. From₹25 in 2024 to ₹133 in Aug 2025, it’s delivered a428% 1-year return, powered by a mix of nutraceutical gummies, health ATMs, and (wait for it)Herbal Pan Masala. With anROE of 51%andP/E of 152, the market is treating this microcap like it’s the next Nestlé. Reality check? It sells sleep gummies and beauty supplements while flirting with wellness tourism. It’s basically “Baba Ramdev meets Mamaearth,” except the promoter holding is 0%.
2. Introduction
Once upon a time (1984), Aayush Wellness was a sleepy food & herbs company. Then, like every filmi hero after interval, it rebranded itself in 2024—complete with a new name, Mumbai HQ, and bonus shares sprinkled like prasad. Now it pitches itself as India’s integrated wellness platform, with offerings from herbal substitutes for gutka to telemedicine kiosks.
The stock price? It’s been doing Surya Namaskars. In FY24, sales were ₹0.6 Cr; in FY25, they jumped to ₹73 Cr; TTM sales are now₹85 Cr. That’s12,125% growth. Even Rakesh Jhunjhunwala’s ghost would raise an eyebrow. Profits too have ballooned from ₹0.57 Cr in FY24 to ₹4.26 Cr in FY25—a491% jump.
The catch? Margins are skinny at4.3% OPM, promoters are MIA (0% holding), and the business mix looks like a wellness buffet: some nutraceuticals, some pan masala, some sleep gummies, and now… wellness tourism retreats. Think “MakeMyTrip meets Patanjali” with a dash of crypto-level volatility.
3. Business Model (WTF Do They Even Do?)
AWL’s business is basically “throw everything wellness at the wall and see what sticks”:
- Products:
- Aayush Herbal Pan Masala– a gutka without tobacco (because “wellness” is when your addiction gets organic).
- Dreamy Sleep Gummies– melatonin with marketing.
- Beauty Vitamin Gummies– hair, skin, and nails in chewable sugar candy form.
- Services:
- Health ATMsin Virar (Mumbai) that promise diagnostics in 2 minutes, digital records, and telemedicine—basically an ATM where you don’t withdraw cash, but test your cholesterol.
- Online consultations, nutrition programs, and health campaigns.
- New Bets:
- Wellness tourism with Ayurveda + yoga
- retreats (₹30 Cr investment planned).
- Strategic Growth Division: ₹50 Mn to invest in startups riding the wellness wave.
- Subsidiaries:Aayush Worldwide Pvt Ltd, for exports of nutraceuticals and wellness products.
Verdict: This is less of a business model and more of a wellness thali—some tasty, some confusing, all experimental.
