Home Away from Home for Senior Citizens: Compassionate Care, Companionship & Dignity at Sukhada

Zara Namjoshi Sukhada founder

In a world where age and gender can often define and limit opportunities, Zara Namjoshi stands out as a shining example of what is possible when empathy meets action. At just 16 years old, this young geriatric care pioneer is transforming the lives of Mumbai’s elderly population through her heartfelt initiative, Sukhada - a dedicated senior care venture providing holistic, professional, and compassionate support for aging individuals.

The Heart Behind Sukhada

Zara’s inspiration stems from her own cherished bond with her grandparents, whom she lovingly calls her best friends. From a young age, she witnessed the deep need for emotional companionship and attentive care for seniors. Observing how many modern families in Mumbai struggle to balance the demands of work, life, and aging relatives, Zara decided not to wait for someone else to solve the problem. Instead, she took it upon herself to create change.


At just 16, she founded Sukhada, a professionally managed, quality-focused care initiative for senior citizens. Sukhada is not merely about medical care - it’s about building a nurturing community where the elderly feel valued, heard, and cherished. Zara’s vision focuses on holistic well-being - blending physical, emotional, and mental health care with respect, dignity, and warmth.

Through strategic partnerships with leading hospitals and healthcare providers across Mumbai, Sukhada ensures that medical excellence and compassionate care go hand-in-hand. Zara has successfully built a dedicated brigade of over 50 trained volunteers who serve as the backbone of her initiative, offering companionship, support, and a human touch that goes beyond clinical care.
