Tanvi Mallya's ElderCare Services

11/06/2025

This weekend at Round Table on Building India’s Dementia Care Workforce Ecosystem, an important conversation unfolded — one that may well shape the future of eldercare in India.

Organised by Dementia India Alliance in partnership with United Way Mumbai , and with significant representation from the Government, it brought together expert clinicians, policy advocates, caregiving professionals, NGOs, training institutions, and mental health practitioners — all united by a shared goal: to strengthen India’s response to dementia.

The statistics are sobering:
📊 Over 10 million Indians are currently living with dementia — a number set to double by 2050.
📊 By 2030, more than 8.8 million families will be navigating the medical, emotional, and caregiving challenges of dementia — most without structured support.
📊 Yet, caregiving remains “informal” — undervalued, unsupported, and largely invisible in national policy conversations.

At the Round Table, we acknowledged the uncomfortable truth: India does not yet have a formal dementia care workforce.
And mental health — particularly the psychological care of older adults — continues to be treated as secondary.
But change begins in rooms like this.
This wasn’t just another panel discussion — it was an invitation to co-create an ecosystem of skilled, trauma-informed, and certified care. From workforce gaps to caregiver burnout, we discussed not just the symptoms, but the structural solutions.

At TMECS, we have spent the past 11 years working at the intersection of Neuropsychology, Geropsychology, and mental health in ageing, our clinicawork has long reflected the need we now echo in policy spaces:
• Ageing is deeply psychological.
• Dementia care is not only medical — it is emotional, behavioural, and social
• Mental health support for older adults must be specialised, trauma-informed, and accessible.

While this Round Table was an important step, it cannot stand alone. We need sustained national-level initiatives — policies that invest in elder mental health, training pipelines, and caregiver well-being. The scale of India’s ageing population demands nothing less.
What gives us hope is knowing that we are not alone. There is a community of professionals, advocates, and changemakers ready to listen, collaborate, and lead.
This is how systems change begins.
From the margins to the centre. From discussion to design. From compassion to collective action.

The Hindu recently interviewed our Founder Tanvi Mallya about the gendered gap in informal caregiving, and how mental health of women caregivers of older adults can be better supported.

Addressing the complex intersection of mental health, gender dynamics, and caregiving in India is crucial, particularly in the context of eldercare. At TMECS, we've witnessed firsthand the profound impact caregiving has on mental well-being, especially for women who often shoulder the responsibility disproportionately.

Promoting caregiver mental health in India, especially for women, is essential as they often bear the brunt of eldercare responsibilities. Recognizing their contributions and providing tailored mental health support can alleviate stress and enhance the quality of care for the elderly, particularly those with conditions like dementia. By integrating psychological assessments, collecting caregiving data, and offering comprehensive support services, we can create more inclusive and sustainable care systems for caregivers. Prioritizing caregiver well-being to foster resilience and improve eldercare outcomes is the need of the hour!

It has always been our endeavour to go beyond the barriers of social media and language when it comes to disseminating information, and creating awareness. Therefore, when Mona Sheth from Chitralekha magazine reached out to Tanvi, we absolutely had to do our bit.

An article about dementia, the emotional and intellectual needs of older adults, and how this entire enterprise came into being.

Thank you, Mona, for thinking of us , and for choosing to do an article on this under-discussed but very important topic.
