The Support Elders Family Now Includes the Senior Citizens of Hyderabad!

After serving the senior citizens of Kolkata and its adjoining areas and Durgapur, and impacting almost 1,400 lives, we are now serving the elders of Hyderabad. We launched our Hyderabad operations last month with an event chaired by Deepanwita Chattopadhyay, Chairman and Co-founder, Support Elders, at Taj Banjara in Hyderabad. Very well-known in her field, Ms Chattopadhyay is the Chairman and CEO of the IKP Knowledge Park, headquartered in Genome Valley, Hyderabad, and has been an integral part of the start-up ecosystem. In fact, very recently, she received the FICCI FLO Influential Women Awards 2021 for Outstanding Contribution to the Innovation Ecosystem but, as she says, “Supporting start-ups is my job, supporting elders is my passion”. Mr Apratim Chattopadhyay, Founder, CEO & MD and Mr Sukhwant Grewal, President – East and South, along with members from the Hyderabad team, were also present at the event. We have tied up with Hyderabad-based Call Health, one of India’s leading HealthTech companies, to provide complementary services to each other’s members in Hyderabad. When asked about our services during the pandemic, Mr Chattopadhyay pointed out, “Our pre-emptive planning and process-driven approach facilitated undisrupted service through remote working and an intensive preventive protocol, while taking care of the members’ needs, which included taking care of them during medical emergencies and exigencies; delivering essential medicines and groceries; arranging for delivery of home-cooked food; helping with out-of-home work, etc. Now, we are working with the healthcare service providers to make the vaccination process as smooth as possible for our members."
