Ep 46: PS Srikumar: Why India’s seniors can’t be ignored
From travel to tourism, real estate and beyond, the silver economy is seeing a boom, says PS Srikumar, a senior care expert and the founder of Care Finder. Besides grappling with issues such as loneliness, senior citizens are a fun, vibrant community and want to live the good life, with products and services already recognising and catering to this demand. Srikumar has helped over 9,000 families navigate the complexities of elder care, creating personalised solutions that enhance their quality of life. He mentions trends in senior living – assisted living and managed residences, innovative home solutions, etc. He also talks about curating unique gifting solutions such as an emotional grandmother using technology to reconnect with her grandson.
