Aayush Wellness launches Brain Fuel to combat cognitive decline
NEW DELHI: Aayush Wellness Ltd has expanded its nutraceutical portfolio with the launch of Brain Fuel Capsules, a new product designed to enhance cognitive function, memory, and mental clarity. This move addresses a growing concern: the silent epidemic of cognitive strain affecting millions, including students, professionals, and the elderly, often before the age of 40.
The company highlights factors like digital dependency, poor sleep, multitasking, nutritional imbalances, and chronic stress as major contributors to declining mental acuity. Global health estimates suggest over one in four adults exhibit signs of cognitive strain prematurely.
Brain Fuel Capsules feature a synergistic blend of traditional herbs: brahmi (Bacopa Monnieri) for memory and learning; ashwagandha (Withania Somnifera) to reduce stress and improve concentration; ginkgo biloba for brain circulation and alertness; turmeric extract (Curcuma Longa – curcumin) for antioxidant benefits; and gotu kola (Centella Asiatica) to revitalise the nervous system and boost mental clarity.
Aayush Wellness managing director Naveena Kumar stated, ” We believe that true wellness starts from within, and brain health is central to overall well-being. With the launch of Brain Fuel capsules, we are offering a time-tested solution to one of the most pressing challenges of our generation — cognitive fatigue driven by modern lifestyles. This herbal formulation supports long-term mental clarity without the side effects of synthetic alternatives.”
Following the successful introductions of Sleep Gummies and Beauty Gummies, this launch aligns with Aayush Wellness’s strategy to capitalise on India’s burgeoning $18bn nutraceutical industry, which is expanding at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 15 per cent. The brain health segment, particularly herbal and natural solutions, is projected to be among the fastest-growing verticals, with a CAGR of 14.78 per cent, fuelled by increased mental health awareness, academic and work-related stress, and an ageing population.

Google nears Nvidia in race for world’s most valuable company
Market cap gap narrows as Google hits $4.65 trillion, Nvidia at $4.86 trillion.
MUMBAI: In the AI gold rush, even the giants are sprinting and Google is suddenly gaining ground. Google is rapidly closing in on Nvidia in the race to become the world’s most valuable publicly listed company, with the gap between the two narrowing sharply amid diverging stock momentum. The tech giant’s market capitalisation has surged to around $4.65 trillion, following a more than 140 per cent rise in its share price over the past year.
That rally has added over $2.6 trillion in value in just 12 months, including nearly $900 billion since January alone. Its stock recently hovered at $381.80, slipping marginally by 0.04 per cent, but still reflecting strong upward momentum.
Nvidia, meanwhile, continues to hold the top spot with a valuation of approximately $4.86 trillion. The chipmaker crossed the $5 trillion milestone in October last year and peaked at $5.27 trillion on 27 April. However, its shares have largely plateaued over the past six months, rising just 0.2 per cent recently to $199.99.
The contrast in trajectories is striking. While Nvidia has seen relatively flat movement, Google has gained over 36 per cent in the same six-month period. Barron’s estimates suggest that if current trends hold, the valuation gap could shrink to as little as $190 million by the time Nvidia reports its first-quarter earnings on 20 May.
Daily momentum paints a similar picture. Nvidia recorded average daily gains of about 0.66 per cent last month, compared to Google’s stronger 1.42 per cent, an edge that could prove decisive in the short term.
Driving Google’s resurgence is its aggressive push into artificial intelligence across its ecosystem, from search and YouTube to cloud computing. The company has already invested $144 billion in capital expenditure over the past two years and plans to deploy a further $490 billion over the next two.
Its cloud division is also gathering pace. Google Cloud reported an order backlog of nearly $220 billion in the latest quarter, with total backlog touching a record $462 billion, around half of which is expected to be realised within two years. The company’s entry into chip sales is also beginning to factor into its growth narrative.
The last time Google briefly topped the S&P 500 by market value was in February 2016, when it edged past Apple for just two days. This time, the stakes and the numbers are far higher.
At the heart of the contest lies a single force: artificial intelligence. As both companies pour billions into infrastructure, chips and platforms, the leaderboard is no longer just about size, it is about who can scale the future faster.
