“Advancing aging-related scientific research is key and we believe research-based interventions can pave the way for healthy aging in India. With India’s unique demographic landscape, existing longevity research may not suffice. The Longevity India initiative is an attempt to bring together multiple stakeholders working in the space, and explore the subject factoring in India’s specific and diverse needs”.
