Reports identify former SBI assistant manager Snigdha Bose as founder of a Meerut yoga studio, but opening date is unconfirmed

Asivana Yoga

Current assessment: The available evidence supports a narrower account than the proposed studio-opening headline: Indian news reports identify Snigdha Bose as a former State Bank of India assistant manager who moved into yoga and wellness work and is described as the founder of Tulaa Wellness Studio in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh. The record does not establish that the studio opened on September 10, 2026, or that its opening was recent.

Reported facts: Zee News reported on September 10 that an SBI assistant manager had left a higher-paying banking career to open a yoga studio. The report’s supplied headline did not identify the studio, the person’s name, the location, or an opening date in the candidate material. The Times of India, in a report published the same day, identified the person as Snigdha Bose and described her as having resigned from an SBI assistant-manager job before establishing Tulaa Wellness Studio in Meerut. The Times of India said Bose shared her account in an Instagram video and attributed her decision to prolonged sitting, stress, and mental exhaustion.

Supporting evidence: The Times of India provides the clearest published identification of the subject, business and city. Its account states that Bose is a certified yoga and pranayama instructor and that her Instagram profile describes her as a “banker turned Yogi.” Separately, a June 18 Meerut event listing promoted a free International Yoga Day session presented by “House of Tulaa” and the Indian Institute of Architects at an IIMT campus on Mall Road. That listing is consistent with a Tulaa-branded yoga operation having a public presence in Meerut before the September coverage.

Limitations and competing evidence: Neither supplied or reviewed news report provides an independently verifiable SBI employment record, business-registration record, studio address, launch announcement, or exact opening date. The most detailed account appears to rely on Bose’s social-media statements, and the original Instagram post was not available for direct review. The June event listing uses the name “House of Tulaa,” while the Times of India uses “Tulaa Wellness Studio”; the available material does not resolve whether these are the same legal business, a studio and a related brand, or separate ventures. Most importantly, the June listing complicates any claim that a studio opened on September 10.

Current conclusion: A cautious reading is that Bose’s career transition into yoga and wellness is credibly reported, and that a Tulaa-branded yoga operation was active in Meerut by June 2026. This supports a profile of a former banker operating or founding a yoga studio, not a confirmed September studio opening. Direct confirmation from Bose or business records establishing the launch date, branding and premises would materially change the assessment and permit a more specific studio-opening report.

Verification status: This report concerns developing or incompletely verified information. Asivana Yoga has attributed claims to their original sources and identified details that could not be independently confirmed at the time of publication. This article may be updated as additional information becomes available.
