For people who want to care for their elders living in Bengaluru, but cannot be there, every day.
Bengaluru's traffic has a way of turning a fifteen-minute errand into an hour. Between the city's sprawl and the pace of tech-driven change, it's easy for an ageing parent living alone to quietly fall out of step with their own lives. Samarth puts a real person in the neighbourhood, someone who shows up, checks in, and catches what a phone call would miss. Built around dignity centred care, so parents keep their independence while someone experienced is keeping an eye on the details.

“I faced a medical emergency in Bengaluru and was promptly attended to by Meghani and Tina of Samarth at Apollo hospital. They coordinated till we got onto the flight back home. It was like our own kids helping out. Grateful.”

"Working with Samarth has made me realize that we are making our elders, as the name itself indicates, Samarth. As they become more confident of doing all their daily activities independently. It brings me great joy to see how successful we have been."

Founded in 2016 by alumni of IIT, IIM, Cambridge, Yale and McKinsey, Samarth was born from a personal crisis. When a Founder’s father suffered a stroke in Dehradun, he was in a different city with no system in place to help. Samarth is what they built in response.
Samarth Care's app is undeniably a game changer in elder care. It's incredible to see how technology is paving the way for quick and efficient emergency response, keeping families connected even from miles away.
It is very common for elders to want to live independently. Especially among families who’ve lived in one locality like Jayanagar or Malleswaram for decades. Professional support at home usually works better than pushing the move. Someone for daily company, health checks, and emergency response, while your parents stay in the home they know and live the life they want.
Samarth was founded in 2016 by alumni of IIT, IIM, Cambridge, Yale and McKinsey. Over 10 years they have built a robust system for elder care in India, that was recently highlighted as the benchmark by The Economic Times and the Times of India. Samarth has over 600 care managers, are available in 350 cities in India and they support families in 33+ countries.
Most NRI families we work with have wrestled with this exact question. Choose a service that offers on-ground, human interaction, driven care, that’s trustworthy, reliable and covers medical coordination, emergency response, concierge services, and companionship.
Through regular, honest visibility, daily or weekly updates, direct access to whoever is caring for them, and a clear person to call if something feels off. The goal is that you know what’s happening, not that you have to take someone’s word for it.
These options are not mutually exclusive. An attendant or caretaker or maid is one person handling daily hands-on tasks like meals and mobility. A professional elder care service adds a layer of supervision above that is delivered by someone who is able to talk to doctors, use technology, handle paperwork, etc. So, someone’s accountable even if the caretaker is off or your parent’s needs suddenly change. Elder care services are the best option for all-round care, and an attendant or caretaker or maid should be added only if there is need for their specific skillset.
Our Bengaluru-based care managers are background verified and go through structured training. Among all our care managers, 47% hold Master’s or PhD qualifications, while 17% hold BTech or MBA degrees. They’re compassionate and they do this because they are passionate about dignity centred care for elders in Bengaluru.
Personal caregivers typically run Rs 800 to Rs 1,500 a day, depending on hours and the level of hands-on support needed.
Plans vary depending on the needs of the elders. The variance comes from whether an attendant or nurse will also be required. This requirement depends on the extent of medical oversight and level of nursing support required.
Samarth care scales with them. Support can move from a few hours a day to full-time nursing plus care manager oversight on the nurse, without uprooting your parents from their home, which is usually better for their wellbeing than a new, unfamiliar setting at a vulnerable time.
It’s a real factor and we plan around it rather than ignore it. Routing accounts for known traffic corridors, and having care manager who has the medical history and may be familiar with the attending physician, ensures that emergency handling is done with proper background knowledge.
Yes. Between Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, and English, the city is genuinely multilingual, and care managers are matched to whichever language your parent is most at ease using.
Slowly, and without announcing “I’m getting a care service for you.” This is Samarth’s invisible start, which begins with one small task, like errands or an evening walk. Resistance usually softens once your parent sees the person respects their routine rather than taking it over.
Yes, Samarth Plans are customisable. However, we recommend thinking through the decision. If they need elder care for a little while they may actually gain from the service, long term.
Yes. Many families set this up right before flying back, so there’s continuity in place rather than a gap opening up the moment they leave.
Yes. While it’s a great initiative, it’s voluntary. There is no one truly accountable, who is answerable to you who lives far away. In addition, they help in case of emergencies. Elders in Bengaluru may also need help to get online movie tickets or filing IT-returns or getting a life certificate for pension accounts. Samarth elder care has been designed to give you real peace of mind, that all your parent’s needs are being addressed.
