Eldercare Expert Interview: P S Srikumar
Interview with P S Srikumar, founder and CEO of Integrated Eldercare Solutions
Retirement planning is not a one dimension plan of securing your finances. It is much more than that.
In this freewheeling interview, P S Srikumar (Sri), an eldercare expert who has worked across various parts of the eldercare ecosystem - from senior living and retirement facilties to policy and products - shares his professional journey, offers key insights into the senior living space, and articulates how the sector is shifting at many levels - businesses, families and individuals - accelerated by the pandemic.
“It is important to plan a retirement living when you are around 45 years of age. 50 to 60 years is a very vulnerable age and this is where many businesses cash in. In this age group, one is into a midlife situation. Senior position in organization with work pressure and priorities, growing up children, ageing parents and personal health and hence a getaway to a distant place is what many think of. However, above 70, the need reverses. They like to hear noise; they like to meet with younger lot and not live in secluded places (most of them). This is one of the reasons that stand-alone communities are giving way to integrated living formats now.”
