Rajagopal succeeds Rajit Mehta and brings over three decades of experience in the senior living and healthcare sector. He currently serves as co-founder, director, and group chief executive officer of Lifebridge Group, where he has overseen the development of an integrated model spanning senior housing, geriatric care, and preventive health services.
Under his leadership, Lifebridge Group has developed multiple platforms, including Serene Communities for senior living, KITES Senior Care for out-of-hospital geriatric services, and Seniorshield for preventive health technology. These initiatives collectively cater to a growing elderly population, reflecting a model that integrates residential and care-based services.
Following his appointment, Rajagopal indicated that the association's priorities would include working with government bodies and industry stakeholders to standardise care practices and develop inclusive insurance frameworks for senior citizens. He also highlighted the need to expand access to quality care services and improve service delivery standards across the sector.
The appointment comes amid growing attention on India's silver economy, driven by demographic changes and an expanding elderly population. Industry stakeholders have been increasingly focusing on specialised housing formats, assisted living, and integrated care solutions to address evolving requirements of senior residents.
ASLI, established in 2011, functions as a national industry body representing stakeholders across the senior living ecosystem, including developers, healthcare providers, non-governmental organisations, and service operators. The association plays a role in policy advocacy and works with government agencies to develop frameworks aimed at standardising services and improving sectoral transparency.
Officials within the association indicated that the next phase of growth in the sector would require stronger regulatory alignment, improved financing mechanisms, and greater collaboration between real estate developers and healthcare providers. The emphasis is expected to remain on building a structured ecosystem that addresses both housing and care requirements for senior citizens.
The senior living segment in India has seen gradual expansion in recent years, with increasing participation from organised developers and institutional investors. As demand rises for specialised housing formats, industry bodies such as ASLI are expected to play a role in shaping policy direction and promoting standardisation across projects and services.
The leadership transition reflects the sector's evolving focus on integrated development models and coordinated policy engagement, as stakeholders seek to address the long-term housing and care needs of India's ageing population.
