News: Krisumi prepares to enter senior living with a health and wellness focus-14-10-2026

Krisumi Corporation, the Indo-Japanese real estate joint venture, is preparing to enter senior living with a project centred on health, wellness and facilities for older residents with age-related conditions such as arthritis and dementia.

Ashok Kapur, chairman of Krishna Group and a key figure behind Krisumi, said the idea has been with him for 20 years. He said the company now has the credibility and reputation to build a project for people who deserve the best possible environment, and called it the next big project. He listed Parkinson’s, arthritis and dementia among the conditions the facilities would address.

A location has been identified, but there is no formal announcement yet. The size, investment, facilities and launch timeline have not been disclosed, nor has the care model, whether independent living, assisted living or specialised support.

The move would extend Krisumi’s portfolio beyond conventional luxury housing, bringing its Japanese design sensibilities, quality and hospitality into a segment that needs specialised planning and long-term service management. The venture between India’s Krishna Group and Japan’s Sumitomo Corporation combines local market understanding with Japanese approaches to design, quality and discipline.

The article links the interest to changing family structures and rising demand for housing that lets older people stay independent with access to support. In cities such as Gurugram, nuclear families and demanding work schedules can make caring for ageing parents hard, and senior living is emerging as an alternative to living alone or relying wholly on family.

Developers are increasingly exploring senior living as a separate category. It calls for age-friendly design, community building and reliable services, such as accessible layouts, emergency response, wellness programmes, housekeeping and dependable maintenance. Healthcare partnerships, trained staff, transparent service charges and professional facility management matter, especially if residents need more help over time.

Affordability is a challenge. Premium projects serve affluent households, and wider acceptance will depend on different price points and clarity on recurring maintenance and care costs.
