From Startup to Standard-Bearer: How LifeWear Became Brand of the Year 2025
In less than twelve months, LifeWear has accomplished what few brands manage in a decade—redefining an entire category and winning the trust of millions. In a segment long dominated by outdated designs and impersonal products, LifeWear stepped in with one bold belief: Mobility is dignity.
Launched in a highly competitive space rife with overpromising claims and substandard imitations, LifeWear chose a different path. It didn’t just enter the market—it sparked a movement. One focused not just on selling orthopedic soft goods, but on empowering people to live better, move freely, and feel proud of the support they wear.
“We wanted to give people not just products, but confidence and quality of life,” says Mr. Jijith, India CEO of LifeWear. “That meant making supports people are proud to wear, not hide.”
From posture correctors and LS belts to knee caps and ankle binders, each LifeWear product is crafted with medical insight, end-user empathy, and modern design thinking. These are not just functional aids—they are symbols of self-care and strength.
At the heart of LifeWear’s meteoric rise lies a rare combination of doctor-approved design, user-first innovation, and affordability. While most competitors raced to push volumes, LifeWear stayed laser-focused on building value and trust. That trust came not just from customers, but also from healthcare professionals and digital-first marketplaces.
Under the global leadership of Mr. Alfredo Poncio, LifeWear adopted world-class practices in R&D, material science, and omnichannel distribution, ensuring product excellence and wide accessibility. But what truly set the brand apart was its sense of purpose.
Through bold campaigns and grassroots awareness drives, LifeWear tackled the stigma associated with orthopedic supports head-on. The brand encouraged people to embrace their healing journey, not hide it. The idea of wearing a knee brace or back belt shifted from being a sign of limitation to a badge of strength and proactive health.
Today, LifeWear products are available across Amazon, Flipkart, and its direct-to-consumer platform, reaching millions of households across India. From the elderly seeking joint support to young athletes recovering from injury, LifeWear has become a household name associated with reliability, empathy, and modern medical care.
“This award belongs to every person who chose to ‘keep moving’ despite pain or limitations,” said Mr. Poncio. “It reminds us why we do what we do.”
As LifeWear looks to scale across borders and reach new communities, its mission remains as clear and powerful as ever:
To support every step. To enable every journey.
To help the world, Keep Moving.
