Priya Living celebrates India launch

San Francisco-based senior living operator Priya Living recently marked the opening of Priya Living Hyderabad in Hyderabad, India, according to a LinkedIn post by Priya Living CEO Arun Paul.

“Our communities are designed as centers for human growth and potential—places where older adults launch new businesses, lead major philanthropic initiatives, and have maximum impact,” Paul wrote in the LinkedIn post. “We believe that elderhood is the time when we reach our peak powers in life. So we created The Incubator, a co-working space where older adults collaborate, innovate, and shape the world. A place where they are creators and changemakers.”
