Meghavi Wellness Air SpaLounge reimagines transit wellness as a premium experience
MUMBAI: Breaking away from the conventional airport spa model, the Meghavi Wellness Air SpaLounge reimagines transit wellness as a seamless and premium experience. Think elevated comfort, therapeutic treatments, and on-the-fly accessibility all under one roof.
Designed for modern travelers constantly chasing time, this lounge merges digital-first convenience with luxurious spa services, eliminating the need to leave the terminal or make prior reservations. Whether it’s a quick recharge or a full reset, this is wellness redefined.
“As someone who lives between terminals and therapies, I’ve experienced how travel strains the body at a cellular level disrupting sleep cycles, circulation, and cognitive balance. Meghavi’s Air SpaLounges are built on the science of recovery, merging frequency-based therapies, lymphatic stimulation massages, zero gravity furniture to aid back stiffness and multi-sensory calm to help travelers reset in motion. This is transit wellness reimagined as essential infrastructure for the modern traveler,” said Meghavi Wellness co-founder Megha Dinesh.
“There’s no airport in India with a spa lounge model like this — our Air SpaLounges now offer Ayurvedic potli massages, hot stone therapy, and even no-touch options like vibroacoustic beds for those who prefer minimal contact. With private therapy rooms, shower pods, self-check-in kiosks, and National Access inside the terminal itself, we’ve eliminated the wait and reimagined what’s possible in transit wellness. This Mumbai Domestic & International airport launch marks our 5th Air SpaLoungeand 60th outlet nationally — a milestone in making access frictionless and future-ready,” added Meghavi Wellness co-founder Prashant Jain.

Jubilant FoodWorks faces Rs 47.5 crore GST demand, plans appeal
Tax authorities flag alleged misclassification of restaurant services
MUMBAI: Jubilant FoodWorks Limited has landed in a tax tussle after receiving a GST demand of Rs 47.5 crore from the office of the additional commissioner of CGST and central excise in Thane, Maharashtra.
The order, issued under the provisions of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017, relates to an alleged incorrect classification of certain services under the category of restaurant services. According to the tax authorities, this classification resulted in a short payment of goods and services tax for the period between the financial years 2019-20 and 2021-22.
The demand includes Rs 47.5 crore in GST along with an equal amount as penalty, in addition to applicable interest. The order was received by the company on March 13, 2026.
In a regulatory filing to the BSE Limited and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited, the company said it disagrees with the order and believes its arguments were not adequately considered.
The company is preparing to challenge the decision and plans to file an appeal. It added that once the redressal process is complete, the demand is likely to be dropped.
Despite the sizeable figure attached to the notice, the company said it does not expect any material impact on its financials, operations or other activities.
The disclosure was signed by Suman Hegde, EVP and chief financial officer, who confirmed that the company received the order at 19:06 IST on March 13 and has already initiated steps to contest it.
The development places the quick service restaurant major in the middle of a tax debate that could hinge on how certain restaurant-linked services are classified under GST rules. For now, the company appears ready to take the matter from the tax office to the appeals desk.
