What is the story about?
Rising healthcare costs, safety concerns, and predictable living expenses are shaping how retirees plan post-retirement finances in India. According to a recent JLL–ASLI report, the organised senior living market is projected to reach nearly $8 billion by 2030, driven by demographic shifts and healthcare needs.
Senior living communities offer features such as non-slip flooring, step-free access, grab rails, emergency response systems, and on-call medical support. These amenities aim to reduce the risk of accidents and hospitalisation, helping households manage health-related expenses more predictably.
Buyers are typically over 55, financially independent, and supported by pensions, rental income, or long-term investments. Many downsize from larger homes and reallocate capital toward housing that provides healthcare support and security. Families with children living elsewhere also use senior living options to reduce caregiving responsibilities.
“Retirement in India is no longer just about stepping back,” said Ankur Gupta, co-founder of ASLI and joint managing director of Ashiana Housing. “Seniors are seeking independence, social engagement, predictable living costs, and access to healthcare support without over-relying on their children.”
Anantharam V Varayur, co-founder of Manasum Senior Living, added, “When care is integrated into daily living, it helps seniors avoid many downstream costs associated with emergency healthcare and unmanaged ageing.”
The JLL–ASLI report also highlights a gap between demand and supply, indicating growing interest from both households and investors in housing formats that combine safety, healthcare, and financial predictability.
