Pranyaas began with one daughter and her own parents
Pranyaas is an elder care service founded by Smita Jadhav, who started it after living the problem herself, trying to manage her ageing parents’ healthcare alongside work and family. With over 10 years in elder care, Pranyaas now looks after parents at home for thousands of families, combining professional care with the love and respect every senior deserves.
The daughter who could not be in two places
Pranyaas was born from a personal journey. Our founder, Smita Jadhav, found herself doing what millions of Indian children do: holding down work and a family of her own, while trying to manage her ageing parents’ healthcare at the same time.
She discovered what every family discovers eventually. You can hire a nurse for a shift. You can book a doctor for an appointment. What you cannot buy easily is someone who knows your parents, notices when something changes, and treats them the way you would.
So she built the solution she wanted: a service that combines professional care with the love and respect every senior deserves. Today Pranyaas brings that same dedication to thousands of families, making sure elders receive care, dignity and companionship in their own homes.
Living abroad, I always worried about my parents in Pune. Pranyaas takes care of their daily needs, doctor visits, and even small joys like outings and birthdays. It’s reassuring to know they are in safe hands.
In India, age was never meant to be faced alone
In Indian culture the elderly are a storehouse of wisdom and experience, and their children are expected to care for them in later years. That expectation has not changed. What has changed is where everyone lives.
As families spread out and children move away for work, more and more seniors find themselves living alone, without anyone close by. The practical gaps are solvable. The loneliness is harder, and it is the part nobody mentions on a phone call.
Pranyaas exists to close that distance. Not to replace family, but to make sure that being far away does not mean being absent.
More than healthcare providers
We are companions to your parents. We help with daily activities, offer emotional support, and protect their safety and their dignity.
Help with bathing, dressing, grooming and medicinesMedical appointments arranged and attendedSwift response when an emergency happensCompany, conversation and the small joys of a weekTouch lives
Two words that decide how we hire, how we train and how we judge a visit. We believe emotional connection is at the heart of exceptional care, and that a caregiver who builds a real relationship with a senior will notice things no checklist ever catches.
Personalised, not standardised
Every elder has different needs. Care is built around the individual rather than fitted into a package, down to the detail of how they like their day to run.
Physical and emotional wellbeing
Health is the floor, not the ceiling. Our caregivers are there for the conversation and the companionship as much as the medicines.
Dignity, always
Help with bathing, dressing or grooming is given in a way that leaves a person feeling respected rather than managed.
In their own home
Familiar rooms, a familiar routine, the neighbourhood they know. Care comes to them rather than moving them out of their life.

What that care actually covers
Elderly healthcare is more than attending to medical needs. It is a holistic experience, from help with the activities of daily living to arranging appointments and responding swiftly in an emergency. One Care Manager coordinates all of it.
Care is available where our teams work on the ground: Mumbai, Pune and Navi Mumbai. Families living abroad can set everything up remotely.

Our partners
Elder care is not a solo act. Nursing, attendant care and hospital coordination run through partners we have worked with for years, which is how a Care Manager can arrange a nurse, a test or an admission at short notice.
