The company also announced new partnerships across healthcare, wellness and emergency support, including access to OPD, ICU services, paramedic support and real-time health monitoring systems. Collaborations with wellness and community organisations aim to enhance engagement, fitness and assisted living services.

Commenting on the milestone, Shashank Paranjape, Managing Director, said, “What started as a simple thought… has evolved into a thriving community where seniors can live with dignity, independence and a sense of belonging.”

Amit Paranjape, Director, Business Development, added, “Senior living is entering a new phase of growth… supported by evolving demographics and policy initiatives.”
