Ratan Tata

Ratan Tata launched Goodfellows, India's first companionship startup for senior citizen as a service.

From the second month, a small subscription fee has to be paid based on the limited affordability of pensioners. Tata’s investment in our venture further is a huge source of encouragement to our dedication to this concept,” Shantanu Naidu, founder and general manager of Goodfellows said. To some it may mean watching a movie, narrating stories from the past, going on a walk or quiet company sitting around doing nothing together, and we are here to accommodate it all. This may be because of the loss of a partner or because families moved away for unavoidable work reasons. Ratan Tata, the Chairman Emeritus of Tata Sons, provided seed money for the platform in an unknown amount. Industry leader Ratan Tata on Tuesday announced an undisclosed investment into startup Goodfellows that offers companionship to lonely senior citizens as a service.

But I had just bought a new phone, and asked if anyone would help me set it up, and they agreed,” said Rajani Bhisey, who was also assigned a fellow during the Beta phase. Goodfellows will now also branch out to appoint full-time employees who want to pursue this as a career. Senior citizens can register with Goodfellows by signing up on their website thegoodfellows.in, or giving a missed call to 8779524307. This is now slowly changing, but we have to take care that every fellow who comes to us has a kind heart, so that authentic bonds can be formed, instead of cosmetic ones.” At the launch, Tata said, “I salute this effort that gives one’s time and effort to make another person’s happiness more secure, without expecting anything in return. Sushanta Jana, another senior citizen, said, “This makes you feel like you are part of society again. Applicants were carefully vetted with an in-house psychometric test for empathy, kindness and reliability. My grandpal and I visited the doctor for my appointment one afternoon, and she later introduced me to a new-age pastry shop, where we had a small snack and returned home. For the programme’s Beta phase, Naidu received 800 applications from young graduates, of which 20 were shortlisted. “No one should have to go to a doctor alone. Tata has even provided seed capital for the start-up.

“Several non-profit models in this space have failed since volunteering happens as per the availability of volunteers and no one invests enough time with one senior to form an authentic bond. The business model of Goodfellows is a freemium subscription model. To me the wonderful feeling is that a group of young intelligent people who could do many other things for themselves have preferred to do this.” To some it may mean watching a movie, narrating stories from the past, going on a walk or quiet company sitting around doing nothing together, and we are here to accommodate it all. Tata, the Chairman Emeritus of Tata Sons who has made undisclosed amount of investment, said “The bonds between the two generations created by Goodfellows are very meaningful and are helping to address an important social issue In India.

Popular YouTuber, Sherry Shroff, who is also a former model and law student, appreciated the initiative, and said, “Often younger people may not have the privilege to grow up with their grandparents, and won’t know what they are missing. For example Ketki from Sophia College has been instrumental in refining the psychometric testing in order to “mine” more numbers of empathetic graduates into the organisation based on psychological evidence. When we make a friend we want to see the same friend often. A subscription model guarantees that when the seniors bond with the goodfellows, we do not keep rotating the graduate visiting them since that does not allow enough time or emotional attention to form an authentic and real bond. This allows the Grandpals to meet each other as well as more young graduates, building a sense of community. Over the past six months, the start up has taken time to complete a successful beta and will now be available in Mumbai with Pune, Chennai and Bangalore as the next target cities.

The octogenarian industrialist has been an active backer of startups ever since retiring from the helm of the salt-to-software Tata Group and has.
