Our Story

Our Mission & Story

The Ayurveda Resellers Association was founded over a decade ago by a group of passionate Ayurvedic resellers who saw the need for a structured, credible body to represent their community.

In a market flooded with counterfeit products and misinformation, ARA was created to be a beacon of authenticity. Our founding members established rigorous standards for product sourcing, practitioner verification and member conduct.

Today, we represent over 500 members across 25+ states in India — a diverse community of distributors, resellers, Ayurvedic clinics and certified doctors, all united by a shared commitment to authentic Ayurveda.

Through ongoing education, community events and rigorous doctor verification, ARA continues to build the infrastructure that India's Ayurvedic industry needs to thrive in the 21st century.
