Digital Media workshops for Wellness industry stakeholders and enthusiasts
*An initiative with Ayurved Sutra
The Idea
Twara is abridged from The Way Ayurveda Reaches Around the World. Twara is a Sanskrit word related to Speed.
The idea behind the TWARA workshops is to facilitate all the stakeholders of Ayurveda and wellness field with the opportunity to explore the pathways to address, interact and influence the new digital world and spread the very positive idea of the science of life among the Generation-Y.
Why TWARA ?
We live in a wonderful, but confusing time. There are more choices than ever and our freedom of infinite choice has resulted in so many new avenues of health and wellness. Technology is a tool, not the answer. The answers we seek can be assisted by the media we consume, but not solved by them, said Eric C. Stevens.
In 2019, it is estimated that there will be around 258.27 million social network users in India, up from close to 168 million in 2016. During a survey last year, it was found that 21 percent of the respondents visited a social network, while 16 percent watched videos on smart phones. (Source : www.statista.com)
FACTS AND FINDINGS
The size of the global Ayurvedic market is expected to almost treble from $3.4 billion in 2015 to $9.7 billion in 2022. An increased emphasis on lifestyle and wellness, driven by a rise in non-communicable and chronic diseases, is pushing the demand for Ayurveda in India, according to a CII-PwC report.
Thus Lifestyle, Alternate therapies, Detox, Stress, No-medicine, Cutting Edge solutions, Traditional medicines, Living in Nature , PanchKarma, Ayurvedic Spa, Ayurvedic meal etc are the most sought after words and phrases. A lot of un-verified content is running on net and influencers are expected to explain facts and theories in common man’s language on popular platforms.
A study by Dr Victoria Goodyear and Prof. Kathleen Armour from University of Birmingham found-
- Nearly half of young people in the sample (46%) reported changing their health-related behaviours as a direct result of accessing content from social media.
- A sizeable minority of young people (43%) report that health-related content on social media positively impacts their health.
- There are many different types of content that young people access, create and share on social media that influence their health-related understandings and behaviours; for example: peer content (e.g. selfies); suggested or recommended content (e.g. on YouTube); automatically sourced content (e.g. commercial content promoted on Instagram through the Search and Explore function); and content from reputable accounts (e.g. celebrities, government, official organisations)
- Likes and Followers are used by young people to inform their judgments about whether-information is credible and which types of health-related content they should act upon.
To influence this Digital Community in a positive way experts need to break the myths, seekers need to share the experience, followers need to spread the facts and acts. There is an urgent need to understand the tools, techniques and prospects.
HUGE IMPACT ON DECISION MAKING
Ayurveda and the Wellness industry as a whole is going under sea-change in terms of demand and following. There are groups, communities, small entrepreneurs and young individual practitioners working on tradition based centers and clinics. Along with them Ayurveda product manufacturers and suppliers, researchers, healers, Traditional Vaidyas and young enthusiasts should come to fore on popular media platforms for greater good.
The Wellness blogging community has grown in volume by leaps and bounds in recent times, and while bloggers interact over the internet and social media platforms, or even in smaller city-based groups, there has never been an event such as TWARA that unites them all with an agenda to share knowledge, interact, exchange stories and ideas and get to know each other over the very things they live and love – Ayurveda,Wellness and blogging about it.
Social media influencers don’t just write on the internet, they form vibrant communities through the telling of honest, authentic and often quite personal stories to their own community. In addition, 90 per cent of consumers trust recommendations from people they know and 70 per cent trust consumer opinions that are posted online source.
It’s not a secret anymore. Online research has a huge impact on the decision making process of 21st century consumers. When a serious blogger like, trust and writes about anything he has the ability to influence the seeker by his honest and modest opinion, and personal experience.
Ardent Bloggers are story tellers and when they write about anything, they tell an untold and a never heard story. After all, they are contributing to the digital ecosystem – helping them create & shape identities!
