Healthcare products company Emami is planning to set up ayurvedic and herbal spas and clinics both at home and abroad within a year.

“We are working on setting up ayurvedic spas and skin clinics in India and abroad. We have already finalised a location in Dubai,” Emami chairman R.S. Agarwal told reporters Friday after the company’s annual general meeting here.

“We are in the process of identifying the technical partner for an alliance to manage these spas. We are negotiating with a few majors from Indonesia, Thailand and Britain.”

The company may not use the Emami brand for spas and go in for an international brand.

“In order to take forward our international business, we have decided to make Boroplus a global brand and we have earmarked Rs.200-Rs.300 million for it,” Agarwal said.
