Goa witnessed a historic moment on 30th November 2024 with the grand inauguration of Manasum’s IKIGAI Goa, the region’s first luxury senior living project. Located in the picturesque Kabamba Plateau, this trailblazing initiative promises to redefine senior living in India by combining modern comfort, community, and care, all within the serene surroundings of one of the country’s most beautiful states.
The inauguration ceremony was a momentous occasion, attracting a distinguished guest list and marking the culmination of two years of dedicated work by Prescon Realtors & Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd. and their esteemed partners. The event not only celebrated the completion of a groundbreaking project but also spotlighted the importance of creating a nurturing, engaging environment for seniors—one where they can live their golden years in dignity, comfort, and happiness.
Manasum’s IKIGAI Goa’s opening was marked by inspiration and optimism. The ceremony was graced by several key dignitaries, who lauded the project as a transformative step for senior living in India. From the Manasum Senior Living team, Mr. Anantharam Varayur, Mr. Kushal Ramesh, and Mrs. Sumathy Anantharam shared invaluable insights with the guests, offering a deeper understanding of the visionary ideals that drove the creation of IKIGAI Goa. As co-founders and key figures behind Manasum Senior Living, they each emphasized the importance of blending luxury, comfort, and a strong sense of community in senior living.
Mr. Vinay Kedia, Director of Prescon Realtors, who has been instrumental in realizing the vision behind this innovative community, also addressed the gathering. In his speech, Mr. Vinay Kedia shared the journey of bringing IKIGAI Goa to life. His words underscored the essence of the project: a dedicated effort to provide a space where seniors can thrive, enjoying independence while being part of a community.
The inauguration ceremony was also a platform to honor several prominent figures who have made significant contributions to Goa’s cultural, social, and national development. Among those felicitated was Mr. Mauvin Goudino, Goa’s Honourable Minister of Transport & Industries, who was also the event’s Guest of Honor.
Goudino’s contributions to the development of transportation infrastructure and his leadership in advancing several key policies in Goa were celebrated. In his address, the Minister spoke of the growing need for senior living communities, especially as modern life presents new challenges for older adults. He emphasized that such projects not only support the elderly but also create inclusive, sustainable societies that contribute to the overall well-being of communities.
Moreover, Mr. Mauvin Goudino eloquently expressed, “Great things can be achieved by teamwork, and this project is a testament to that.” He praised the concept of Manasum’s IKIGAI Goa, emphasizing how such innovative spaces foster independence while ensuring that all the practical needs of seniors—such as healthcare, leisure, and social engagement—are met seamlessly.
Goudino also highlighted the relevance of projects like IKIGAI Goa in a world where families are increasingly scattered across the globe. “Children may not always be able to care for their aging parents, and parents may not want to be a burden,” he said. “In such times, these community-based living concepts become more than just a luxury; they are a necessity for a dignified life in later years.”
The grand inauguration of IKIGAI Goa was not just a celebration of infrastructure and real estate; it was a celebration of life itself. The event was marked by joyous gatherings, with several seniors already touring the newly constructed facilities, sharing their excitement about the opportunities for active living, social engagement, and peace of mind that the project offers.
The Manasum team additionally emphasized the project’s core values of independence, safety, and companionship. Designed for active adults, the community offers a lifestyle free from household chores, with services like housekeeping, 24×7 medical care, and leisure facilities all available at residents’ fingertips. These thoughtful services ensure a high standard of living, allowing seniors to focus on what truly matters—living life to the fullest.
Looking ahead, the inauguration ceremony also provided a glimpse into the future of senior living. The IKIGAI Goa project, though already groundbreaking in its approach, is just the beginning. As Mr. Vinay Kedia mentioned in his speech, the project is committed to continuously improving and expanding the facilities to meet the evolving needs of seniors.
Manasum’s IKIGAI Goa is set to be more than just a residence; it is an ecosystem of care, comfort, and community—a place where seniors can truly thrive. The inauguration ceremony, filled with heartfelt speeches, ceremonial honors, and a palpable sense of hope, marked the beginning of a new chapter in senior living. It was a day to celebrate both the achievements of those involved in the creation of the project and the possibilities it holds for the future of senior living in Goa.
