Silver Innings is a, a social enterprise dedicated for the cause of elderly. Silver Innings is a new beginning for our elders. It is a new path, the journey of successful ageing. It is an initiative that was started by four individuals, Hendi Lingiah, (France), Prof Parul Kibliwala (India, SNDT), Swati Ingole (MSW, Mumbai, India) and Sailesh Mishra (Mumbai, India) who are far removed in distance but united in the cause of elders. Who’s afraid of ageing... is what this team believes in. The idea was germinated by Sailesh and took root with the support and contribution of these individuals and Silver Innings took form as a one stop destination for information for the elderly and their family members. The social enterprise opened a platform for discussing issues regarding the elderly and soon a need for a social organisation emerged. Taking on this gaping need, Silver Inning Foundation was born to address the micro and macro level issues of the elderly to create an elder friendly world.
