Picture this: a group of grandparents skydiving over vast landscapes, scuba diving in turquoise waters, learning art and dance, and exploring new countries with laughter that feels decades younger. This is not a movie; it’s the everyday magic created by SeniorWorld, a startup redefining how India sees ageing.

In a country where the 55 plus age group often gets sidelined in the travel industry, Senior World is giving them exactly what they deserve — adventure, purpose, and joy.

Second innings filled with possibilities

When MP Deepu and Rahul Gupta realised that India’s seniors were being treated as a forgotten market, especially in travel, they decided to rewrite the narrative. 

In 2015, the duo envisioned a world where age wasn’t a limitation but a passport to experiences that had long been postponed.

Senior World startup now curates special travel experiences for seniors aged 55 to 95, designing itineraries that prioritise comfort, community, and confidence. 

These aren’t slow, passive tours — they are journeys filled with exploration, learning, and moments that remind people that life can begin again at any age.
