EBG Group, an Indian conglomerate, is set to commence an integrated wellness and education development in Ongole, Andhra Pradesh, following a foundation stone laying ceremony scheduled for August 19, 2026. Spiritual leader Pujya Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Ji will preside over the event, marking the formal beginning of three distinct initiatives: the Carlton Wellness Retreat, the Sri Sri Panchakarma & Tattva Centre, and the Sri Sri Ravishankar Vidya Mandir.
The development, spearheaded by EBG Realty, the real-estate arm of EBG Group (https://www.ebggroup.com), is envisioned as a cohesive ecosystem rather than standalone projects. It aims to integrate wellness hospitality, traditional Ayurvedic practices, and values-based education within a single environment. The ceremony will take place at Sai Vishnu Chaturvatika, NH 216, Chadalavada, Ongole, Prakasam District.
