‘Only 41 per cent of health orgs offer chronic care’: Truworth Wellness ’26 report

BENGALURU: Truworth Wellness has launched The Great Wellbeing Shift: India’s Corporate Health Study 2026, a benchmark survey that exposes the structural and measurement gaps shaping workforce health across India Inc. The report draws on inputs from more than 300 organisations and maps governance, ownership, digital adoption, chronic care readiness, segmentation and women’s wellbeing.

The study shows that 83 per cent of firms now operate structured or integrated wellbeing frameworks, signalling a shift from scattered HR initiatives to enterprise-wide systems. Governance has strengthened, with 62 per cent assigning ownership to the CHRO and 10 per cent elevating it to the CEO or board, reflecting growing recognition that wellbeing is a business priority.

Preventive and mental health support have become widespread, with 83 per cent offering counselling or EAP services and 81 per cent providing annual health checks. Digital adoption is rising fast, with 66 per cent using wellbeing platforms and 49 per cent offering virtual care. Family wellbeing and psychological safety programmes are also gaining traction.

Yet chronic care remains the sector’s weakest link. Only 41 per cent of organisations offer structured chronic disease management, despite rising lifestyle-related risks. Personalisation is improving, with half using demographic segmentation, but only 14 per cent deploy advanced AI tools and 4 per cent still run one-size-fits-all programmes.

Women’s wellbeing has become a priority, with 55 per cent expanding services beyond maternity and 19 per cent offering full-spectrum women’s health ecosystems, including menopause support and career-life integration.

Fragmentation continues to undermine impact, with firms juggling multiple vendors and disjointed user experiences. Capacity constraints affect 71 per cent of organisations, low value perception affects 52 per cent and cultural resistance affects 46 per cent.

Measurement is still uneven. Although 35 per cent use integrated ROI and VOI dashboards, only 12 per cent calculate financial ROI and just 11 per cent use predictive analytics to track outcomes.

Truworth Wellness founder and executive chairman Rajesh Mundra said organisations must replace isolated programmes with cohesive, outcome-led ecosystems. Co-founder and CEO Rohit Chohan said the study confirms what HR leaders already know: corporate wellness in India remains fragmented and under-measured.

The report offers CHROs, boards and rewards leaders a rare panoramic view of India’s wellbeing maturity and the structural shifts needed to make corporate health predictive, personalised and measurable.
