Puja Khan, Co Founder of Wellness B’zaar, and Dr Arjun Reddy, Founder of RIVEA Vascular Institute, lead a multidisciplinary discussion on circulation and preventive ageing

Wellness B’zaar hosted FLOW – The Longevity Dialogue, a thought leadership gathering that examined vascular health and circulation as central pillars of healthy ageing. Held on 7 February 2026 at Quorum Club in Hyderabad, the event was organised in collaboration with RIVEA Vascular Institute and brought together medical experts and preventive health advocates for an interdisciplinary exchange on long term wellbeing.
Designed as an intimate fireside and panel led conversation, the dialogue moved beyond a symptom focused understanding of ageing. Discussions reframed longevity through the lens of blood flow, highlighting how vascular health influences brain function, organ vitality, mobility, metabolic balance, and quality of life well before the onset of disease.

A central segment of the evening was a fireside conversation moderated by Puja Khan, Co Founder of Wellness B’zaar, with Arjun Reddy, Founder of RIVEA Vascular Institute. The discussion focused on why vascular health is frequently overlooked in preventive care and the importance of early screening and intervention.
“Vascular changes begin long before symptoms appear, often affecting multiple organs silently. Early, image guided screening allows us to identify risks sooner and intervene before damage becomes irreversible,” said Dr Arjun Reddy.

The panel discussion, moderated by Kavitha Mantha, expanded the conversation across metabolic, cardiac, and regenerative health, positioning circulation as a unifying foundation for preventive longevity.
“Many conditions, from cardiac disease and diabetic complications to fibroids and prostate enlargement, have a vascular dimension. A vascular first, image guided approach can prevent complications and significantly reduce the need for surgery,” Dr Arjun Reddy added.

Samatha Tulla, Co Founder of PMX Health, highlighted the role of early biomarkers in preventive care. “Metabolic stress and vascular dysfunction often appear well before clinical symptoms. Precision medicine allows us to track these signals early and shift healthcare from reactive treatment to preventive longevity,” she said.
The dialogue also explored emerging therapies. Harikiran Chekuri, Founder of Redefine Hair, spoke about advances in regenerative medicine, noting, “Research around peptides and regenerative therapies is opening new possibilities in vascular repair, endothelial health, and recovery focused interventions.”

Adding a cardiac perspective, Rahul Kongara, cardiologist and preventive heart health specialist, said, “Circulation is fundamental to long term cardiac health. Many heart conditions are preceded by years of silent vascular dysfunction, which is why early screening, lifestyle intervention, and preventive care are critical to reducing future risk.”
The session concluded with a shared emphasis on awareness, early intervention, and interdisciplinary care. Organisers noted that longevity is shaped long before disease onset and that protecting vascular health through timely screening and lifestyle changes can redefine how individuals age.
FLOW – The Longevity Dialogue reinforced the importance of innovation led, prevention focused healthcare models that place circulation at the centre of long term wellbeing.
