Looking to build for elderly !

@GallonMusk MMT don’t list senior care living facilities.

Primus recently raised $20mm, does something similar. Community of elders.

Genwise raised around $4mm, does something around consumer angle.

Do check them out. It’s an interesting space. And something defn can be built.

Check khayaal family for research. They are doing stuff in this space for sometime now.

What’s the source of you saying - 50k+ people search for old age home near me on monthly basis in India.

How you arrived at this number?

Basically anathashram

I have been thinking in similar terms seeing my parents they do not want to open any app which is complex .
I want to build a app for them which has everything like cab booking, food ordering, book train tickets/flight and most importantly give everything in one membership which has a special feature like concierge (where they can call inquire and book things).
The UI needs to be as simple as possible removing everything.

It’s an interesting space . Both in metro cities and Tier 1/2 cities , elderly parents find it difficult and lonely living in Appartments . You can start by creating elderly groups and adding some value added services - access to living homes , house helps , care givers , engagement activities etc. listing of elderly homes alone might not be scalable . Many of the elderly homes are very costly . The ones which are cheap are not properly maintained obviously . That’s my viewpoint . All the best . It very courageous of you to take a step in this field as well as share in public for candid feedback . Also ,start by connecting to such families and check what problems they are facing rn

Very wrong way to build business. Talk to 100 senior citizens and documents their pain points and find the a way to solve. Do things that don't scale first

Great sector to build. India will some day have 800 million ‘elderly’

with most people having one to zero kids, and most city kids settling abroad and most village youth settling in cities, i think this is going to be a huge space in next few decades in India, especially around elderly care , elderly support and elderly housing. but simply building an app around this might not be the solution. There needs to be investment and change in almost all aspects to that market in terms of caregivers, cost, infrastructure, availability of immediate medical support etc and I believe the government would need to take this part seriously as well.
