ZEP Foundation Celebrates Women’s Legacy Through ‘Women of Wellness’ Book Launch at NCW

The ZEP Foundation proudly marked an important milestone with the launch of Women of Wellness, a special book authored by Dr. Rekha Chaudhari, Founder of ZEP Foundation, at the National Commission for Women (NCW), New Delhi, on 5 November 2026.

The initiative celebrates the remarkable journeys of pioneering women who have contributed to India's beauty and wellness industry. Through their stories, the book seeks to preserve their achievements, struggles, leadership and invaluable contributions, bringing their largely untold journeys into the spotlight and creating a lasting legacy for future generations.

The launch was graced by Smt. Vijaya Kishore Rahatkar, Chairperson, National Commission for Women, along with distinguished guests, women entrepreneurs, wellness industry leaders and representatives from various sectors. The gathering brought together inspiring women whose experiences reflect resilience, entrepreneurship, innovation and the transformative power of determination.

Women of Wellness goes beyond documenting individual success stories. It is an effort to recognise the women who helped shape an industry, created opportunities for others and contributed to India's entrepreneurial and social development. The initiative also reinforces the importance of recognising women's contributions, preserving their legacy and encouraging future generations to pursue leadership and entrepreneurship.

About ZEP Foundation

Born in India with a vision to restore human connection, protect emotional well-being and bring humanity closer in an increasingly digital world, ZEP Foundation has grown into an influential social impact organisation with a global movement reaching over 80 countries.

Through its flagship initiative, World Digital Detox Day (WDDD), founded in 2016, ZEP Foundation has brought a powerful message to the world: “We are not against technology; we are with humanity.”

Every year, 10 December is observed worldwide as World Digital Detox Day, inspiring individuals, families, schools, universities and communities to embrace mindful technology use, strengthen human relationships and reclaim meaningful time together.

In India, this global movement has been celebrated at prestigious venues, including Raj Bhavan, Mantralaya and the iconic Gateway of India in Mumbai, reflecting its growing recognition and social significance.

Beyond digital wellness, ZEP Foundation is committed to a broader mission of social transformation. Its initiatives span women's empowerment, entrepreneurship, education, skill development, research, mental well-being, community development and social awareness.

The Foundation also advances digital awareness and responsible technology use through its Digital Sanskar educational initiatives, digital fasting programmes, student and parent counselling, school and university collaborations, research, training and community outreach, empowering future generations to build healthier relationships with technology.

Guided by its philosophy, “Disconnect to Reconnect,” ZEP Foundation continues to carry India's message of digital wellness to the world while championing women's achievements, education, human dignity and sustainable social progress.

A Vision Beyond Recognition

Through initiatives such as Women of Wellness and World Digital Detox Day, ZEP Foundation continues to create platforms that recognise human potential, celebrate meaningful contributions and encourage positive social change.

The Foundation believes that progress is not measured merely by technological advancement or economic growth, but also by the strength of our relationships, the opportunities we create for others and the legacy we leave behind.

What began in India as a vision to reconnect humanity has evolved into a global mission — protecting human relationships, empowering women, inspiring future generations and reminding the world that our most precious wealth is not technology, but the time, care and connection we share with one another.
