Marketing eldercare services to NRI families: what builds confidence
NRI families choose eldercare providers they can trust from thousands of kilometres away. Show the qualified people who will visit, explain exactly what happens and what the family receives, provide regular updates on WhatsApp across time zones, publish simple health content, and make it easy to talk to a person.
Why this audience is growing
India's elderly population is growing about 41% per decade and will be over 20% of the population by 2050 (UNFPA India Ageing Report 2023). Many of their children live in other cities or countries.
