India is set to witness its first large-scale menopause-focused wellness festival — Fabulous Over Forty — on September 15, 2025 at The Lalit, Mumbai. Curated by SheThePeople, the digital platform for women, this one-day summit aims to shift the narrative around menopause from silence to celebration.
With the tagline, “Because Menopause Is Not a Choice — It’s Time We Talked About It Our Way”, the festival promises to spotlight the midlife journey of women with honesty, support, and scientific insight.
Unlike traditional medical seminars, Fabulous Over Forty is designed as a vibrant, engaging experience. The event blends expert guidance with real-life stories and interactive wellness activities to support women through perimenopause and menopause — phases often experienced earlier and with fewer resources by Indian women compared to their global counterparts.
Festival Highlights:
- Panel discussions on hormone health, mental wellness, and ageing featuring top Indian specialists
- Candid conversations with well-known names such as Tisca Chopra, Soni Razdan, Sudha Menon, and Dr. Sheetal Gagrani
- Expert sessions with Nawaz Modi Singhania, Dr. Jaishree Sharad, and Dr. Nozer Sheriar
- Talks on libido, bone density, body image, and mood changes, approached with empathy and humour
- Live workshops, skincare and nutrition labs, and wellness movement sessions
- Insights from inspiring women including Pinky Reddy, Geetanjali Kirloskar, Ruchita Dar Shah, and health coaches like Shonali Sabherwal, Nicole Linhares Kedia, and Renu Rakheja
- Breakout zones, shopping corners, and a curated nutritious lunch
Shaili Chopra, Founder, Gytree and SheThePeople said, “The festival is an effort to place menopause firmly within public discourse — not just as a health milestone, but as a phase full of power, potential, and purpose.”
With over 150 million Indian women navigating menopause or perimenopause today, Fabulous Over Forty offers a much-needed space for shared learning, support, and empowerment. Whether you’re just starting the journey or already deep into it, this festival invites you to be part of the conversation — and the community.
