market given that the 55 + aged may spend 25 to 30 years in retirement. A burst
of innovation is expected. Serving this market profitably may require fresh
ideas, inclusive approach and new ways of doing business.
The
senior community in India presents a tremendous opportunity to service
providers and entrepreneurs to innovate on their housing needs and addressing
their various lifestyle service and product needs. Seniors are evolving as a
mature and serious consumer segment that have needs and wants, which are
specific. A significant section of seniors today are independent, financially
stable, well-travelled, socially connected, and as a result have well developed
thoughts of how they want to spend time after retirement. There is, today, a
larger percentage of educated seniors than ever before in India. This
demographic, dubbed the active ageing 50+ generation has more wealth to spend
and a greater desire for new experiences.
The
challenge is to ensure that the elderly are able to lead a healthy &
dignified life ahead. They should have every opportunity to pursue the
activities of their choice and be treated with respect and dignity. The elderly
form a rich repository of knowledge and experience.

trends and tipping points that are accelerating change in consumer attitudes of

iceberg.

and take retirement to the next level, thereby setting the tone for the forum,
