Jaipur (Rajasthan) [India], November 4: Wellness Lifestyle (WL) announces the global launch of the Jalasya technology stack. Built on the Blue Economy framework pioneered by Gunter Pauli, author of the acclaimed "The Blue Economy" book series, the Jalasya stack uses an open-source format that can be continuously upgraded and aspires to set new standards in regenerative wellness developments and operations.
Developed over five years, Jalasya was recently selected by the āyushća estates of the IIT Alumni Council for their upcoming campuses in Goa, NCR, and Madhya Pradesh. Jalasya was also recently featured in the book, "Accelerate Your Journey" which outlines the sustainability philosophy of the Climate Resilience Platform - a consortium of Gunter Pauli's ZERI, Development Alternatives and Wellness Lifestyle Foundation. The consortium is led by Dr Ashok Khosla, a sustainability pioneer widely recognised for his contributions to the field and for popularising the concept on international platforms. Early in his career, Khosla collaborated with Professor Roger Revelle, co-developing the groundbreaking environmental course "Natural Sciences 118" at Harvard, which shaped many students' perspectives, including that of Nobel Laureate Al Gore. This course led to The Survival Equation, one of the first definitive textbooks on environmental sustainability.
"The wellness movement has the potential to influence behaviours and choices," said Christina Watson, spokesperson of Wellness Lifestyle (WL). "We can create awareness, inspire change; and also, be the change. Jalasya, our pioneering Thalasso-Aqua Technology Stack, was developed to be the change we wish to see in the world. At WL, we are incorporating the Blue Economy principles as fundamental to all our wellness projects for self-sufficiency, ecological responsibility, and social equity and contribute to building hyper-local economies".
Wellness Lifestyle (www.wellnesslifestyle.com) developed the Jalasya stack in partnership with the start-ups supported by the IIT Alumni Council, and it goes beyond advocacy to action. One of the startups that contributed to developing the paradigms embodied in the stack is the Prakriti Prerna Foundation (PPF). PPF was started three years ago with a revolutionary vision of 'flourishing forests and thriving wildlife'. The PPF pilot projects are distributed over a 100 sqkm area adjoining the 1500 sqkm Bandhavgarh forest in central India.
According to award-winning climate change warrior, IIT Alumni Council Life Fellow and PPF Founder, Srinivas Rachakonda, "We have seen thirty feet high trees grow in less than thirty months and organic farms producing up to 150 tons per acre per annum of fruits and 40 tons per acre per annum of vegetables. A prudent combination of traditional wisdom and cutting-edge technologies achieved this performance. Several of these protocols and technologies are now part of the Jalasya stack for the biodynamic farming module of the āyushća campuses. We are happy to have been able to contribute to its development."
The Jalasya stack is relevant to all kinds of real estate formats. Founder of Beeja Luxury, Geetika Saigal, a TED speaker and celebrity author, remarked, "As an Advisor to the āyushća Goa team, I get to meet so many high-net-worth individuals excited about luxury wellness properties in the USD 5 million+ bracket. But in reality, the truly discerning buyers won't commit unless developers genuinely deliver on their promises--real sustainability, wellness facilities, and Jalasya-level infrastructure. That's what makes the difference."
