Leptos Estates Enters India to Make Dreams of a Mediterranean Holiday Home Come True

17th July 2024  New Delhi, Delhi, India  Leptos Estates, a six-decade, family-run, real estate and property development firm that builds and sells residential, commercial and holiday residences including premium apartments and luxury villas in Greece and Cyprus, has finally marked its entry into the Indian market.

Over the past 64 years, the firm has sold 25,000 sophisticated, environment friendly and aesthetically designed properties to homeowners worldwide including in China, Russia, Africa and the Middle East. Helmed by the second-generation real estate industry stalwart Mr. Pantelis Leptos, Leptos Estates, has now turned its focus on the Indian market offering prospective Indian home buyers and investors an opportunity to invest in property in Cyprus and Greece with the added advantage of securing Permanent Residency (PR) of both countries.

Prospective Indian homeowners interested in Cyprus can get a PR with a minimum property investment of Euro 300.000 + VAT; while for Greece a PR can be acquired with a minimum property investment of Euro 250.000 with 0% VAT (valid until end of 2024).

“We can’t be more excited to have Indian families explore the local culture of Greece and Cyprus from the comfort of their own homes in these beautiful destinations. The Indian market offers a huge potential for us as well as for prospective Indian home buyers and investors. We look forward to seeing the people of this country not only own some of the most stunning European properties but also secure their permanent residency in the process!” said Mr. Pantelis M. Leptos, Co-President of Leptos Group of Companies.

Cyprus has always been a popular choice among foreign investors due to the high quality of life it offers year-round sunshine and natural beauty. For investors, ease of doing business and investment incentives make it a lucrative destination both to live in and to do business in.

A selection of Leptos Estates properties eligible for a Cyprus Permanent Residency are Venus Gardens — a unique residential resort with hilltop homes located just a short walk from the Paphos coastline and the blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea; Coral Sea Villas — 63 state-of-the-art freehold-detached seafront villas situated in one of the most sought-after locations in Paphos; and Limassol Park — luxury apartments just 12 minutes from the sea and surrounded by landscaped gardens.

In Greece, one of the oldest civilizations in the world, a healthy climate, good food, and wine enjoyed in your own home are major draws for those looking to invest in property.

Indians can invest in any of these Leptos Estates properties in Greece and acquire a Permanent Residency thereafter. Aphrodite Beachfront I , II, III & 5 in Crete offer apartments, penthouses with roof gardens, maisonettes and villas with magnificent views of the Mediterranean Sea and the picturesque mountains; the Cretan-style beach-front Viglia Beach Villas, just 300 meters away from the bustling marina of Kastelli, are tailor-made for those looking for opulence and comfort in a beachfront palace; and the Molos Beach Village offering a variety of one and two-bedroom apartments, as well as two and three-bedroom garden villas, maisonettes, and penthouses that make for excellent investments in Greece.

“The options of owning a second home or a holiday home in India are narrowing down with popular destinations like Goa, becoming saturated. The quality of life is compromised and the amenities and benefits one expects from such investments are slowly dwindling. What Leptos Estates is offering is unmatched in terms of affordability, luxury, sustainability, aesthetics and even hand-holding you through the entire process of buying your home,” said Sanjay Sachdev, Group Marketing Director, Leptos Estates. “We want Indians to start looking at Greece and Cyprus as the ideal destinations for their dream Mediterranean home. Our one-stop solutions from signing of the title deed, renting out homes, upgrading to helping you resell, ensure the entire process is seamless and completely pain-free,” he added.

Gujarat’s First Non-Invasive Wellness & Cryotherapy Centre opens in AHMEDABAD

17th July 2024  Gujarat, India  This era isn’t about surgeries or hospital stays; those were trends of the 2000s. After COVID-19, the buzzword is prevention, wanting to live a fuller more enriched life. The uncertainty of life has taught us to live each day to the fullest. Understanding the need of health by our side to do so. Instead of putting things off for later, everyone is trying to exhaust their bucket lists, striving for happiness, health, and an active lifestyle. It is a community goal to stay fit and stay young.

This has led to the mushrooming of invasive clinics promising quick results charging a bomb. Liposuction, Botox, fillers, etc are some solutions that are being provided but they are superficial, they come with ongoing costs and risks of a botch up. So global Biohackers like Dave Asprey and others are seeking sustainable solutions through self-care hacks, aiming to develop bodies and minds that can naturally maintain agility and beauty.

Amongst all this chaos a few non-invasive therapies are gaining popularity, like cryotherapy which is at the top of the list, it aids muscle recovery and may alleviate chronic pain while boosting youthfulness and immunity. Spectrometry is another very interesting principle that is used to scan the body for early disease detection by identifying deficiencies and toxins in the body without pricks, and microcirculation is one more non-invasive therapy used for rheumatoid arthritis pain.

Recently opened “@CRYO” does just that. This Pain Management and Sports recovery clinic is the first Non-invasive wellness clinic and cryotherapy center in Gujarat brought to Ahmedabad by Dr. Reina Shukl. This futuristic clinic offers hope for improved health and quality of life. @CRYO (atcryo.com) is the first clinic in India to have cryo chambers: Whole body, Full body both as well as localized cryo machines, all three variants. @CRYO are open to giving a franchise to Pan India.

Boosting athletic performance by cryotherapy is currently trending globally. If we may ask, what takes an average athlete to the level of Ronaldo or Kohli? It is intense and disciplined training. The cryo chamber is one of the supportive therapies that help one train better because it shortens the recovery time of the muscles thus giving time for intense training.

Such non-invasive methods signify a shift towards holistic and individualized healthcare, prioritizing prevention over cure. This shift represents a fundamental change in healthcare philosophy, from reactive to proactive approaches. Pain management is evolving towards natural and personalized approaches that address the root causes of pain and enhance the body’s ability boosting mitochondrial capacity and immunity.

Jungle Camps India Unveils its New Logo Highlighting ‘Earth First, Community First’ Ethos

New Delhi, Delhi, India  Jungle Camps India, a distinguished collection of award-winning wildlife and conservation-focused lodges spread across central India introduces a new logo. An extension of the brand’s vision of offering the best-in-class sustainable jungle stay experience to guests, the new logo of Jungle Camps India symbolizes the brand’s commitment to preserving nature while bringing people closer to the wilderness. Jungle Camps India has luxury lodges in Kanha, Pench, Tadoba, and Rukhad.

The new logo is thought-provoking besides being aesthetically appealing. The simple yet unmistakable arc of a camping tent crowned by two leaves, set in the motif of indigenous designs, forms the perfect visual identity of Jungle Camps India. Set amidst nature with the least footprint, the camps are a haven for nature immersion. The indigenous motif used in the logo speaks of social inclusion with most of the staff members hailing from local communities, mostly indigenous tribes – trained and upskilled to be at par with industry standards. The clear fonts – Josefin Sans and Muller, lend itself to the simple yet clear vision of being the best wilderness and safari experience provider in India. The palette is inspired by the earthy hues of the forest, while the black is inspired by the dense Sal wood forests of Kanha, the orange by the hide of the tiger, and the gold from the ubiquitous bamboo of Tadoba. This design choice of the Logo emphasizes Jungle Camps India’s ethos of being Earth First, Community First. It very strongly symbolizes the brand’s commitment to preserving the landscapes they operate in and supporting the communities that inhabit them.

Gajendra Singh Rathore, Founder Jungle Camps India said, “We are very excited with our new Logo which sends a strong message in favor of sustainable jungle stay. As Jungle Camps India embarks on a rebranding journey, our goal is to strengthen our connection with both nature and the communities we serve. The introduction of our new logo is a reflection of our evolving identity – a symbol that stands for sustainability, respect for local cultures, and a commitment to environmental stewardship. This rebranding is not just a visual change but a reaffirmation of our core values and the introduction of new principles that emphasize eco-friendly practices and community engagement. With this refreshed brand identity, we aim to position Jungle Camps India as a leader in responsible tourism, offering experiences that are authentic, respectful, and conscious of the impact they have on our planet and its people. “

Pooja Nataraj, Art Director and founder of PNJXN, the branding and marketing agency that conceptualized and designed the new logo said, “Our vision for the Jungle Camps India logo was to encapsulate the essence of exploration and tranquility that each destination offers. We integrated tribal motifs within the leaf elements of the logo to reflect a deep respect for both the local cultures and the natural environment. The two-tiered design approach allows us to highlight the distinctiveness of each location beneath the unifying banner of the Jungle Camps India brand, ensuring that each destination’s individuality is respected and celebrated while promoting a cohesive brand identity that values nature and community at its core.”

PNJXN believes in the storytelling of brands, and in curating this new logo, the agency has paid attention to details from fonts to design elements and color choices, so that they all seamlessly merge with the brand’s ethos and vision. PNJXN focuses on experiential marketing and communications strategy, and creative solutions, particularly for niche brands that have a sustainable growth vision as well as pioneers in their industries.

To honor his phenomenal achievements, both on and off the field, Lay’s has launched limited-edition Dhoni collector’s packs. These vibrant packs offer a golden chance for fans to own a unique piece of memorabilia and celebrate their hero with every bite.
