Educate, Encourage and Empower a Healthier Lifestyle

“A fit body and mind complement a healthy life.”

– Ashwin Muthiah
 Founder & Chairman, AM International

At AM International, we believe that good health is the true foundation of the success. And hence, across all our organisations, employee wellness is more than a checklist of health activities, – rather it is a way of life— we recognize that employee well-being is more than just physical health. It also comprises their overall mental, emotional and economic health.

A recent example is the Health is Wealth competition hosted by Tamilnadu Petroproducts.

The fun-filled annual event, running its 2nd edition currently, is among the most awaited cultural activities organised at the company. As a part of the event, the company puts together a series of insightful initiatives to educate, encourage and empower their team mates to adopt a healthy lifestyle.

1. Wellness Education

As a part of the programme, TPL recently hosted two-part wellness series – which focused on gut health and sustainable health management.

  • Session 1: Simple Yoga, Big Benefits:
    The first session, led by Mr. Ranganathan, Sr. Corporate Yoga Consultant, explored the power of yoga for weight loss and its role in achieving balance between body and mind. His session covered key wellness topics with a special emphasis on relieving common ailments among office goers.
  • Session 2: Good Gut, Great Health:
    The second session, conducted by Dr. Sabarisan R, highlighted the connection between gut health and weight loss. The focus on gut health and diet underscored simple but effective changes—such as adding whole grains, fibre-rich foods, and balanced carbohydrates—to enhance overall health.

2. Encourage a Lifestyle Aimed at Wellness

Wellness at AM International goes beyond initiatives—it’s a shared mindset that informs how we lead, work, and support one another. From inclusive policies to thoughtfully designed wellness programmes, we create opportunities for employees to prioritise their health without compromising on their professional goals.

We’ve seen that initiatives like Health is Wealth have a lasting impact beyond the event itself. They shift mindsets, inspire consistency, and promote everyday habits that lead to greater resilience, reduced stress, and higher energy—both at work and at home.

3. Empowering a Culture of Wellness

By promoting healthy habits and mindful choices, we empower our employees to take charge of their well-being—fostering stronger teams and a more connected, purpose-driven workplace.

When employees feel well, they perform at their best—and the positive ripple effects are felt across the organisation. In championing employee wellness, TPL, in effect, is strengthening its own ability to stay competitive in an ever-evolving world.

The continued success of Health is Wealth series over the years demonstrates that even small, consistent lifestyle changes can make a huge difference. By promoting holistic wellness initiatives, AM International continues to foster a culture of health and well-being.
