'You never know which meeting is last': The story of Shantanu Naidu, who runs a Ratan Tata-backed start-up

Shantanu Naidu, founder of senior citizenship company Goodfellows, shared in an emotional post what inspired him to begin something of his own, a start-up, in other words. The Cornell University-educated founder recognised a gap when he realised that senior citizens undergo loneliness and are in need of companionship. This led him to launch the start-up which hires young people having emotional intelligence and empathy known as ‘grandpals’ to interact with the senior citizens.
