What they do

Primus Senior Living builds institutional-grade senior living communities with ownership and rental models

The platform will invest ₹2,000 crore across six major Indian cities, backed by HDFC Capital

India's organised senior living market penetration is only 1.4%, far below developed countries

Primus Senior Living and HDFC Capital have launched a ₹2,000 crore investment platform for senior living communities.
The platform will develop projects across six major Indian cities.
Projects will be built under both ownership and rental models.
The rental model targets seniors who want professionally managed accommodation without buying a home.
Communities are designed around health, wellness, social connection, and independent living.

India's population aged 60+ is projected to rise from 162.2 million in 2025 to 346 million by 2050.
As of June 2025, India had only 22,157 organised senior living units.
Market penetration of organised senior living in India is about 1.4%, versus 6-7% in the US and 14-15% in New Zealand.
Demand is driven by longer life expectancy, growth of nuclear families, and changing attitudes toward independent living.

Primus Senior Living develops senior living and multigenerational housing.
Its projects blend hospitality, preventive healthcare, wellness, and social activities with residences.
The platform builds institutional-grade senior living projects.
Primus is backed by venture capital firm General Catalyst and entrepreneur Nikhil Kamath.
HDFC Capital is part of HDFC Bank and serves as the real estate private equity arm of the HDFC Group.
HDFC Capital also invests in student accommodation and housing for industrial workers.
HDFC Capital's funds had a platform of about $4.5 billion as of 31 March 2026, focused on affordable and mid-income housing.
