The Longevity Institute India is founded and led by Dr. Deepika Krishna — physician, functional-medicine practitioner, author, TEDx speaker, and one of India's most consequential voices in the new science of healthspan.
Dr. Deepika Krishna's medical practice began in 2004, with a single observation that has shaped twenty years of work since: that conventional Indian medicine was excellent at treating disease once it arrived — and almost completely silent on how to prevent it from arriving in the first place. That gap became her career.
She built Longevity & Beyond Clinics (L&B), an integrative practice now serving patients across India, where functional medicine, advanced diagnostics, gut microbiome analysis, and nutrigenomic testing are used not to manage symptoms but to find their root cause. She founded Immunosciences, India's first doctor-led nutraceutical brand, built on the principle that the supplements an Indian body needs are not the supplements being marketed to it. She has served, for over a decade, as a director of the ICI Hospital and Cancer Healer Centre, working alongside oncology patients in the most consequential moments of their lives.
"True wellness isn't a product you purchase. It is a conscious rebellion against shortcuts, symptom-chasing, and superficial fixes. My mission is to bring people back to the roots of their health — through science, self-awareness, and sustainable strategy."
Her debut book, Health Cocktail, became an India #1 best-seller — a no-fluff reckoning with the misinformation that defines mainstream wellness, written for the Indian reader. She is a TEDx speaker. She received the 2022 Achievers Award for Trusted Name in Nutraceuticals & Wellness. She has worked, by her own count, with more than 37,000 patients.
The Longevity Institute India is the work she always intended to build: a non-commercial, research-first vehicle for translating the global science of longevity into something the Indian body can actually use. Independent of supplement sales, clinic enrolment, or any commercial pressure — this Institute is the open-source counterpart to the rest of her practice. The library, the research, the protocols, the data are free. The mission is generational.
