VLCC Becomes The First Wellness Brand to Receive Indian Medical Association recommendation for Weight Management & Metabolic Wellness
New Delhi, Mar 11: VLCC, India’s leading wellness and weight management brand, has become the first organized wellness company in the country to receive a formal recommendation from the Indian Medical Association (IMA) for its weight management, slimming, and metabolic wellness services. This landmark recognition sets a new benchmark for medical governance in India’s fast-growing wellness sector.
The IMA recommendation follows a rigorous process and technical audit, covering VLCC’s wellness delivery processes, physician-led protocols, structured metabolic assessments, and science-backed program design. The recognition reinforces VLCC’s position at the intersection of preventive healthcare and consumer wellness.
Speaking on the achievement, Mr. Vikas Gupta, MD & CEO, VLCC Group, said,
“From inception, VLCC has approached weight management as a medical and metabolic science not a cosmetic trend. This recommendation affirms the robustness of our clinical protocols and our long-standing commitment to safety, scientific rigor, and measurable outcomes.”
The recommendation institutionalizes VLCC’s 35-year legacy of clinically supervised weight management within a nationally recognized medical framework. With 219+ clinics across 114+ cities, VLCC has delivered medically supervised wellness services to over 10 million consumers, combining medical assessment, nutrition science, fitness protocols, and behavioral support under expert supervision.
Dr. Anilkumar J Nayak, National President, IMA, added,
“As weight loss interventions increasingly intersect with medical and metabolic health, safety-led frameworks are critical. Initiatives like this ensure wellness solutions align with sound medical principles, and we appreciate VLCC’s leadership in driving responsible industry practices to help Indians achieve their desired outcomes safely.”
This milestone marks a defining moment for India’s wellness ecosystem, signaling a shift towards medically anchored, safety-led frameworks in preventive health and metabolic management, and further strengthening consumer confidence across the sector.
