Where this Began?
We are two sisters who, driven by love and concern for the wellbeing of our parents, uncles and aunts, started a mission to make Third Places more welcoming and inclusive for older adults. In India's rapidly growing cities, the number of older adults is increasing, yet they often remain invisible and disconnected from everyday community life.
We want the older adults to be heard; to have a space to pursue their hobbies; and to hone and exhibit their skills; and above all, be recognised for their wealth of rich experiences, knowledge and wisdom accumulated over the years.
AdgeBeyond exists to rebuild the third places, deliberately, and for everyone.
We wish to design third places to be naturally shared by all.
Dignity: Every space we create treats older adults as proactive participants, not passive recipients or end-users.
Inclusion: We're here to build a community which promotes intergenrational inclusivity and combats ageism.
Belonging: We promote meaning connections and involvement in the community, and larger society.
Invincibility over invisibility: Older adults should feel empowered and funtional in our society .
At AdgeBeyond, we believe in building a society where people of all ages connect, interact, support one another, and thrive together.
Our mission is to create seamless third places, preserving dignity, diversity and promoting inclusivity.
Join Us in our Mission
Our events range from arts and crafts workshops, games nights, storytelling evenings, comedy nights and shared meals to skill-exchange sessions and neighbourhood walks.
All designed so an older adult and a teenager have equally good reason to show up.
Unhurried conversations and podcasts between generations, creating space for meaningful exchange.
Dignity, in practice, often comes down to unglamorous things, such as, knowing which government scheme you're entitled to, understanding a legal right before someone else decides it for you, or simply not falling for a scam call.
A stage for skills: hobbies pursued, talents honed and exhibited, and experience recognised.
And a gifting section for specially curated gifts for your grandparents or parents.
