Ageing is a natural part of life and age should never be a basis to limit or define an individual's potential. Increasingly, we see people in their 60s, 70s, and even 80s leading active and healthy lives. There can be no solutions for ageing in the long run.
With greater awareness, better healthcare, and evolving lifestyles, it is quite motivating that age is just becoming a number after retirement, especially in urban India. The tendency to label older people as slow, dependent, or irrelevant is unfair and an outdated saying. It overlooks the experience, wisdom, and continuous contributions that older generations bring to society.
Yet beyond the applause lies an inconvenient question: will this emerging economy serve only the visible urban elderly, or also the invisible millions ageing without any savings whatsoever, support, or voice? Longevity, after all, is no triumph if it merely stretches loneliness.
