Scientifically curated by cancer surgeon and “Aquaman Biohacker”Dr. Arpit Bansal, the two-day summit united 40+ global experts and 500+ delegates across five bodies of human health — and closed with the announcement of The Longevity Summit 2027.MUMBAI: India’s longevity movement found its stage this Independence Day weekend. The Longevity Summit India 2026, the country’s first dedicated longevity summit, concluded Sunday night at Fairmont Mumbai after two days that carried more than 500 curated delegates — founders, investors, doctors, scientists and wellness leaders — through an agenda unlike anything previously staged in the country: One Life. Five Bodies. Five Frequencies.The summit was presented by Le Florence India, with AIWO, founded by industrialist C. Sivasankaran, as Title Sponsor, and hosted at Fairmont Mumbai, the flagship of Nitan Chhatwal’s Shrem Group. But its scientific soul belonged to one man: Dr. Arpit Bansal, the laparoscopic and cancer surgeon from Prayagraj known worldwide as the Aquaman Biohacker, who as Chief Scientific Curator personally architected all two days — moving the audience through the Earth, Water, Air, Fire and Flow bodies with 40+ speakers he has met across the world’s leading longevity stages.Dr. Bansal opened the summit with its signature keynote, The Biohacking Blueprint, returned with the Water session’s From Red Mind to Blue Mind, and led what may be remembered as the summit’s defining image: a sunrise Blue Mind Underwater Meditation, with delegates seated on the floor of the Fairmont pool as Mumbai woke above them — a world-first practice he created, drawn from a surgeon’s insight that the gut is the first organ to shut down when the body senses threat, and the first to come back online when it feels safe.
“India did not just attend a summit this weekend — India made a vow. When 500 people sit together and understand that the gut, the brain, the emotions and purpose are one connected system, that is not an event. That is the beginning of a movement.”

Watching this summit unfold under our roof, from the science on the main stage to meditation in our pool at sunrise, is exactly the future of hospitality we believe in.”Rajiv Kapoor, cluster general manager, Fairmont Mumbai: “What made this summit special is that it brought together so many different perspectives on wellbeing under one roof. Our teams lived it alongside the delegates — this weekend, Fairmont Mumbai truly became a home for longevity.”Vikramjeet Sharma, Managing Director, Le Florence India: “For us, this summit was about bringing the conversation on longevity closer to people — not just living longer, but living healthier.
