Helping Seniors Navigate Life with Ease

~ Team ChangeWave
India's elderly population, currently at
THE PROBLEM 156.7 million, is projected to double to
346 million by 2050, making it one of the
largest elderly populations globally.
Around 14.3% of seniors now live alone,
with 41.9% of them having been living
independently for over five years.
One of the main reasons for this is
migration of younger generations, and
the rise of nuclear families.
Over 41% of seniors living alone report
negative impacts on their mental health,
