Our Story

What is Arvasi?

We are a wellness company rooted in Ayurveda and backed by science, offering seasonal, dosha-based ritual sets designed by physicians to help you align with your body’s natural rhythm.

Our name is inspired by Urvashi, a celestial figure from Hindu mythology, known for connecting the divine and natural worlds. Just as Urvashi symbolized the harmony between spirit and earth, Arvasi bridges your inner nature and ancient wisdom with the precision of modern science.

 

About Ayurveda

India’s 5,000-year-old system of medicine is literally the “science of life” where your health is aligned with your biology, your environment, and the rhythms of nature. 

It’s not a trend. It’s a timeless guide to feeling well, every day.

Our Values

  • Integrity

    Independent, peer-reviewed science guides every choice with clinical precision. Our founders—South Asian doctors—lead with medical expertise and cultural accountability, never commercial bias.

  • Reverence

    We honor the body’s innate capacity to heal through intentional care. Each ritual draws from ancestral wisdom and modern science to restore balance over time.

  • Alignment

    We bring the body, nature, and community into harmony through seasonal rhythms, daily rituals, and compassionate leadership—because wellness is not a trend, but a way of being.

Founders With Purpose

Doctors. Healers. Women on a Mission.

At Arvasi, we believe healing should be personal, purposeful, and rooted in both modern science and ancient wisdom. Our founders— Avanti Kumar-Singh, M.D. and Tanmeet Sethi, M.D.— created Arvasi to reconnect you with the healing wisdom that already lives in your body.

Both South Asian women, both physicians, and both daughters of a culture where wellness has always been ritual, they both also took the time to study the science of Ayurveda. They built Arvasi to bridge the medicine of their ancestors with the precision of modern science. Together, they’ve seen too many people overwhelmed by generic wellness advice, one-size-fits-all protocols, and systems that ignore the whole person. Arvasi was born to change that.
