Ayurveda Kendra was founded by Dr. Sudha Asokan at Chanakyapuri on September 14th 1990, where she vowed to increase the awareness of traditional Kerala Ayurveda in North India and introduce Delhi to "The Authentic Ayurveda Experience". The Centre began as a small clinic-cum-dispensary-at New Delhi's Chanakyapuri neighbourhood and quickly expanded to cater to the growing demands of the centre's treatments and therapies. The centre was inaugurated by Dr.PN Haksar, an IAS officer who was an aide of Jawaharlal Nehru and Principal Secretary to the Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, in the presence of AK Damodaran, a former Indian diplomat. Since its inception, Ayurveda Kendra has been growing multitudes  with several clinics throughout India. It has also had several tie-ups with hotel groups and conglomerates such as the Lalit Group, Surya Spa (Mauritius), Midas Day Spa (Kathmandu) etc. Ayurveda Kendra earned its reputation due to its ability to treat several ailments and disorders that modern medicine could not treat. This kind of success led to the establishment of more clinics and collaborations in quick succession
