Retirement doesn't have to mean slowing down. In this episode of Desi Return, we speak with Mr. Amar who spent 35+ years in Delhi before making a life-changing decision: moving into an active senior living community after retirement.
We discuss:
✅ Why they chose not to stay in Delhi after retirement
✅ How active senior living compares to traditional retirement
✅ The social life, activities, and sense of community
✅ Why some NRIs from the US and Canada are choosing a similar lifestyle in India
✅ Healthcare and medical support available onsite
✅ Cost of living and monthly expenses
✅ Life after retirement, independence, and staying active
 
One of the most powerful insights from this conversation is that retirement is not the end of life—it can be the beginning of a completely new chapter filled with friendships, hobbies, purpose, and freedom. Whether you're planning your own retirement, helping your parents think through their options, or considering a return to India after living abroad, this conversation offers valuable perspectives on what life can look like after your working years.
