New Delhi, January 11, 2021 (GNI): While India is gearing up for COVID-19 vaccine rollout nationally, the onslaught of pandemic posed enormous difficulties for healthy living among the senior cohort of the country.

Following the inauguration of conclave, a 2-day Senior Utsav Online Expo will be held to provide seniors with a virtual platform to explore and choose products and services suited to their unique need and requirements through interaction with a host of businesses.

The conclave also presents businesses and individuals who work in retirement planning and senior care with a unique opportunity to build connections and forge stronger collaborations with other players in their area of work.
Highlighting the importance of enhanced focus on senior care, Mr. Ankur Gupta, Co-founder & Chairman, ASLI, said, “With a ‘new normal’ setting in place in a post-pandemic world, healthcare and wellbeing have become of paramount importance, especially for the elderly. Although senior care industry is still at a budding stage in India, there has certainly been a renewed interest on retirement communities that are built keeping in mind the comfort, safety and wellbeing of the seniors. Through this conclave, we aim to address the needs of senior care industry and promote a deep and wide collaboration between the various ecosystem players for providing our seniors a controlled and convenient environment to enjoy their silver years.”
Mr. Adarsh Narahari, Founder & MD, Primus Lifespaces Pvt Ltd, said, “The Covid-19 pandemic has hit us all hard. Amongst the vulnerable demographies, elders were the most affected as they were unable to manage chores and missed the company of their children. This has accentuated the need for safe and secure places for seniors with emergency care requirements and made them realize that community living is better suited for a hassle-free living. We can now see a tectonic shift in the demand for retirement homes – an increase of 60% in daily enquiries. The reason for this shift is the stress on living in a secure, organized and well-assisted environment to lead a better everyday life. The ASLI conclave brings seniors a great opportunity to interact with several senior care providers across the country under a single roof.”
The percentage of the senior citizens in India’s population has been growing at an increasing rate in recent years and the trend is likely to continue. India’s senior citizens are expected to make up around 20% of the population by 2050, up from about 8% in 2015, according to a report by HelpAge India. ASLI was instituted in December 2012 as a national organization with a vision to catalyze the growth and development of the entire senior care continuum (senior living, home care and lifestyle & technology providers) and aspires to create a model of self-regulation and work in tandem with the government on the guidelines of minimum standards for attaining operational excellence by its members in particular and industry at large.
