How Ritesh Bawri turned a health crisis into a science-backed wellness revolution
At 38, Ritesh Bawri faced a sharp decline in health despite his professional achievements. This crisis led him to transform his lifestyle through nutrition and science. Together with his wife Dimple, he later founded nirā balance, a wellness movement blending evidence-based care with personalised nutrition.
Ritesh's journey began when his health deteriorated rapidly in his late thirties. Determined to change, he studied nutrition, cellular biology, and preventive health. He also earned certifications from Harvard and Tufts universities, applying his new knowledge to rebuild his own well-being.
Before nirā balance, the couple ran BreatheAgain, a venture offering structured wellness guidance with close client follow-ups. This experience laid the groundwork for their next project—a solution to the wellness industry's focus on quick fixes rather than lasting change.
Launched in 2020, nirā balance shifted from traditional ayurvedic wellness to precision health. The company now uses AI-driven analytics and genomic data to create tailored programmes. Partnerships with institutions like the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics (since 2023) and clinical studies at Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin support its scientific approach. Certifications such as ISO 13485 for medical devices and EU-GMP for supplements further validate its methods.
Dimple Bawri shaped the company's approach by designing personalised nutrition frameworks. Her focus was on making healthy eating enjoyable and effortless. Ritesh, meanwhile, leads the scientific and systemic aspects with empathy, ensuring each plan aligns with individual needs.
The couple's collaboration extends beyond business. Their shared vision and mutual support reflect a partnership that goes deeper than romance, embodying the spirit of working toward common goals.
Today, nirā balance combines diagnostic precision with sustainable lifestyle changes. The company's growth reflects its commitment to long-term vitality rather than temporary solutions. With science-backed programmes and personalised care, it continues to redefine wellness for its clients.
