Prime Health Support: Founded by Geeta Kumana
While India stands amidst the crux of a demographic dividend – the largest working age cohort in world history – it is reasonable to say that fifty to seventy years down the line, the population of the elderly would be quite sizeable as well.
The previous sentence also needs to take other factors into account. For instance, the fact that more and more people are likely to be intellectually proficient owing to advances in healthcare, and are therefore likely to continue working well into their late eighties or nineties. What is work if not the constant application of mind and body to one’s chosen sphere of passion or interest? It is difficult to predict the future, but it is fair to say that amidst a constantly changing world, many older people, if not all, would prefer to put their experience to good use.
No one thinks about themselves being old, except when random thoughts lead towards old age or when contemplating about the seriousness or mundaneness of life. It is an inevitable fact of life, and fantasies of thwarting old age and death itself translate themselves into the intersection between life sciences and technology.
Today, at Bangalore Insider we spoke to Geeta Kumana, the founder of Prime Health Support, a proprietorship that supports elderly people who’re living alone. Her insights into dedicating herself towards her business is highly relevant for individuals keen to understand the dynamics of the market that caters to elderly people from a caregiving point of view.
Give a brief info about your startup?
Prime Health Support is a caregiving Proprietorship that looks after elderly people living alone in Mumbai, India, whose children live abroad. The caregiver takes them to doctors, hospitals, CT scans, sonographys, blood tests, MRI’s etc., writes up a report and sends them to the child or children who live abroad, over whatsapp or email, (whatever the client’s relatives prefer). Prime Health Support does exactly what their children/relatives would have done had they been staying with them.
This is not a Bureau which supplies nurses, ayabais and ward boys. Geeta Kumana, the founder of Prime Health Support, personally goes to the client’s (geriatric person’s) residence and takes them herself for these tests or Doctor’s visits.
This service is available from South Mumbai to Santacruz in Mumbai, India.
What made you start your startup and what problem does it solve
It all started when a friend living in the United States of America had asked me for advice on ways to take care of her old and ailing parents who lived thousands of miles away in Mumbai, India. The funny thing is that not everybody can be a ‘caregiver’. But, since I was already taking care of my old father who lived in Pune, Maharashtra, India, and had a lot of experience in dealing with similar situations, it made it easy for me to help my friend.
Prime Health Support primarily deals with looking after old people’s mental and physical health and assisting them in feeling better in their homes by making them feel in the Prime of health.
Many people who have migrated abroad often have elderly and ailing parents back home in Mumbai. Living thousands of miles away, they cannot come down to Mumbai to look after them. They go through a lot of worry, stress and also guilt feelings for not being able to do so. This is where we step in. We take care of their parents or relatives exactly the way they would have – at home, with compassion and kindness; just like a family member would.
Tell us about yourself, your previous jobs/ventures? What were you doing before this startup?
Before I started Prime Health Support, I was in the Real Estate business where I was giving out flats to sell or to rent. Unfortunately, I had to give that up to look after my old father in Pune. After his demise, I decided not to go back to Real Estate and start Prime Health Support, a caregiving business for elderly people living alone in Mumbai City whose children live abroad as it was a much-needed service for the city.
Where is your startup based out of? Why do you think that is the best place for you?
Prime Health Support currently runs from South Mumbai to Santacruz in India. This geographical area has been demarcated for the Proprietorship as I have lived in Mumbai for over 50 years and have a complete support system in the city. Since it is a start-up, South Mumbai to Santacruz is a very comfortable area for me.
As a startup founder, what are you paranoid about? What keeps you awake at night?
The most important challenge for a caregiver is not to get too attached or too emotional with the client. One needs to remember that a caregiver must keep a level head and make the client feel both physically, mentally & emotionally better.
It’s not so much the start-up that I worry about, but the health of my clients that sometimes keep me awake at nights. The responsibility of keeping them healthy is my job and keeping them in the Prime of Health can be worrying as they are old and frail and sometimes uncooperative.
Though my mantra is compassion, compassion, compassion, sometimes that mantra does not work and I need to think of another way to handle my clients with patience and understanding.
Another challenge is making the help (ward boys, nurses, maids, etc.) work together in harmony with each other to look after my client and to keep him/her in good spirits and excellent health.
Who are your competitors and how are you better than them?
Since this is a very unique business, I am not aware of my competitors.
Even if there are any, I know I am a very responsible, competent, reliable person who gives my business my everything and is not afraid of any form of competition. My work speaks for itself.
How hard is it to have a work-life balance as a startup founder and how do you manage it?
This is not very difficult for me as I am an unmarried woman with no children or other responsibilities like elderly parents or in-laws. Though it must be very hard for married women with children or unmarried/single women with children.
Being unmarried with no children, gives me a lot more time to concentrate on my business as I do not have the responsibility of looking after children or other relatives and can hence spend more time on my business development and growth.
Have you raised funding? If yes, then we would like to know the details. If no then please tell us if you are looking to raise.
Prime Health Support has raised funding for the initial start-up of the Proprietorship but ultimately the business will have to pay for itself by getting clients. Hence, we are currently not looking at funding.
What’s the biggest misconception people have about you? Why do they have that? What’s the reality?
Most people think I am younger than my age and feel that I do not have the experience of handling a business. I presume it’s my facial features that give people that impression of me. But, I consider myself an entrepreneur to contend with and have only my client’s best interests in mind. Hence, I am quite capable of handling my business and making it grow.
What gets you excited about this company?
I inherently feel the need to take care of people, especially old people and young children. The need to look after them, to make them smile, to keep them comfortable, are all the sentiments that automatically run through me. I am a very compassionate person and I like to evoke that from me into another person’s health and happiness. Looking after someone who is elderly, ill and ailing and making them feel better because of my care is an emotion I cannot explain. It is also because these people are dependent on me and lean on me for their well-being which I happily strive to achieve.
Tell us how a day in your life looks like? Your schedule for a day right from the time you get up till you hit the bed at night.
I go swimming at least once a week, windsurfing only during the season from October-April and also go regularly to the gym. I watch films in theatres, or on Netflix, and watch news and the Discovery Channel on TV. I am an avid reader of the newspaper, especially Times of India. As a distraction from my daily routine with geriatrics, I love playing with little children.
Tell us about your team and how did you meet each other?
Currently we are two of us at Prime Health Support. Myself being the main caregiver, a “grass roots” worker who goes with the client for all their health appointments, writes reports, meets clients, and has a “hands on” approach to the business.
The other person is more the “intellectual” one who looks after the back end of the business like PR, advertising, promotions etc. She is also my friend who I have known since the last twenty years and has a very strong background in advertising.
As Prime Health Support, (which has been around for some time now and has gathered enough experience in the field), expands, we plan to increase the caregivers first, running thorough background checks on the prospective caregivers whom it recruits; and second, taking them through a rigorous training schedule before assigning them any responsibilities.

Not everybody can be a caregiver
Prime Health Support, a care-giving proprietorship by Geeta Kumana, looks after the elderly who live alone in Mumbai as their children are abroad.
Old age can be tough, especially if you are living away from family. Frailty, chronic health problems, memory loss, and so on can make simple tasks difficult. Prime Health Support, a care-giving proprietorship by Geeta Kumana, looks after the elderly who live alone in Mumbai as their children are abroad.
Talking to Kumana, we find out more about what it takes to be a responsible caregiver.
Need experience
Talking about what inspired her to start Prime Health Support, Kumana says that some years ago, a friend living in the USA had asked for advice on ways to take care of her old and ailing parents who lived thousands of miles away from her in Mumbai.
“Since I was already taking care of my aged father, who lived in Pune, I had a lot of experience in dealing with similar situations. So it was easy for me to help my friend’s parents,” says Kumana, adding, “But not everybody can be a ‘caregiver’.”
Kumana set up the organisation in 2017. “Initially, I was hesitant to charge for my services, but later, I realised that it is a much-needed service in Mumbai. Prime Health Support takes care of the mental and physical health of the aged and assists them in feeling better in their homes,” she explains.
She points out that most caregivers in the market are bureaus that supply nurses, attendants and ward boys to patients and their families. Prime Health Support operates differently.
“I personally visit my clients and talk to them. I also go to doctors, pathological laboratories, hospitals, and write down notes and send it by email or WhatsApp to the client’s families living abroad. It is a unique service that is much-needed in India,” says Kumana.
A fine balance
“Looking after vulnerable people is something that comes naturally to me; hence this is something I love doing,” says Kumana. It gives her great satisfaction to see that the elderly are taken care of in the right manner and that they are given due respect when doing so.
“I believe the most challenging part of being in this sector is not to get too attached to your client as this will do them a big disservice. Spending so much time with them tends to make you feel very close to them, and that can impair your judgement on their care-giving and in turn, their health. Hence, it is imperative to keep a distance when looking after your client,” she explains.
She also says that several old people don’t really have anyone to talk to, so very often, they speak to the caregiver. But, there are also those who do not want to talk to anyone and keep to themselves, and that needs to be respected.
Extending services
Kumana says that for now, Prime Health Support takes care of clients living between South Mumbai and Santacruz.
“Our plan is to extend our geographical services to all of Mumbai. Once we are successful with this, we plan to start our services in other cities, namely Pune, Goa, Bengaluru, and small towns as well,” she concludes.
What it takes to be a caregiver
A caregiver is someone who feels the need to look after frail, old, or ill people with a humanitarian eye — not a commercial one. The caregiver must look after people without making them dependent on them; the less a client needs the caregiver, the better for the client.
A caregiver is also someone who needs to take into consideration all opinions — the client’s, the relatives’ and even the client’s friends. Just because a caregiver has the experience, it does not mean s/he is correct at all times while giving advice. A caregiver should remember to give advice only when asked unless an urgent situation warrants it.
The ultimate goal of a caregiver is to make the client and relatives happy and de-stress them. The client’s family needs to have peace of mind knowing that their relative is in the able hands of a caregiver

How This Mumbai-based Startup Creates a More Caring Environment for the Elderly People
Prime Health Support takes care of your parents exactly like you would
The start-up Prime Health Support that began its services in January 2017. Prime Health Support looks after old people who live in Mumbai, whose children live abroad. The team at Prime Health Support, look after them exactly as their children would. They take them to the doctors, note down what the doctors say and then send those notes to the children living abroad via whatsapp, email or sms, whatever the children prefer. They maintain the strictest confidentiality for all their clients. Prime Health Support is not a bureau that supplies ayabais, ward boys, or nurses. Prime Health Support currently works in Mumbai, from South Mumbai to Santacruz.
About the founders
As of now, there is only one Founder, Geeta Kumana, who got the idea of this start-up when a college friend living in the USA called her up asking her advice on her elderly parents who lived in Mumbai. Her friend then told Geeta to start a care giving business where she could take elderly parents of children who do not live in Mumbai, to various doctors and medical institutions and charge them for it. Initially, Geeta was very hesitant to charge for her services, but then she realized there was a lacuna for this category of care giving services in Mumbai and decided to do it as a business.
Geeta feels her appearance is one of her biggest challenges in this business as she looks much younger than she really is and that makes people not take her seriously. The second challenge is to not get too attached to the client as one tends to spend a lot of time with them. Getting too attached to them impairs the sound judgement of the caregiver and this, in turn affects the road to recovery for the client.
We are publishing an interview with Ms. Geeta Kumana – CEO, Prime Health Support:
Q.: Is there any interesting success story of your startup? If yes, please write about it. ?
Ans: There was an old man who suddenly fell unconscious and I had to take him to hospital. After continuously monitoring him for four months, he was discharged and came home sitting on a wheelchair. That was and is the best success story of caregiving that Prime Health Support could give an elderly person.
Q.: Who do You Perceive as Your Competition? How do you differentiate yourself with them?
Ans: Prime Health Support is a very unique business in the caregiving area. Hence, there are not too many people who offer this service. But, I always consider competition to be healthy and am confident my work will speak for itself.
Q.: What would be your goal to accomplish in the next six months? Any other information you would like to share?
Ans: We would like Prime Health Support to work towards expanding our geographical base in the next six months. Currently we are available from South Mumbai to Santacruz. We would like to expand to Andheri and Goregaon.
Prime Health Support is also looking for people to train to be caregivers when the business expands.
Q. What is your message to convey to fellow entrepreneurs
Ans: There will be a lot of people who will negate what you do, people who will undermine what you do, but don’t let that stop doing what you want to do as there will always be people who support you and will help you grow. Always see the glass half full rather than half empty.

Geeta Kumana, Proprietor, Prime Health Support, On Women Entrepreneurship
The history of International Women's Day dates back to 1908, when some 15,000 women marched on New York City in the name of better working hours, fairer pay, and the right to vote. Three years later in 1911, the first official IWD was celebrated throughout Europe as more than a million women walked challenging stereotypes for their right and equality.
Women in India have not only stepped into the corporate world but have also begun to make a mark in entrepreneurship. Fast forward even 2020, Women Entrepreneurs comprise 11% of all entrepreneurs in India, which means there are only about 550 women-led companies out of more than 5,000 startups (NASSCOM reports). The number is small and growing slowly, the with all the policy and most importantly mindset change coming up, we will soon see a rise in the same.
March 8 marks International Women’s Day 2020, and we at StartupTalky, also wanted to celebrate the spirit of womanhood with the entrepreneurs who have come out breaking all the barriers to and lead and change the world for the good! let's learn how these women are changing the entrepreneurial landscape and how!
Here is our small interview with Geeta Kumana, Proprietor at Prime Health Support.
ST - Why did you choose to be an entrepreneur? If not entrepreneurship, then what?
Geeta Kumana - I am not the kind of person who can work in an office from 9 to 5. I am a very hand on person and like to go out to do my work, at my time. If I was running a NGO, you would call me a “grass roots worker”
This does not mean that I am not a team player. I can work with other people, delegate work and adjust to other people’s habits. But, as an entrepreneur, not as an employee.
Hence, the question of me not being an entrepreneur is a bit difficult to visualize.
ST - What Challenge did you face as a woman entrepreneur and How did you solve it?
Geeta Kumana -In most things that I have done in life, I have been in male-dominated spaces but being a strong woman, that hasn’t cowed me down or made me quit. My proprietorship Prime Health Support, which is in the healthcare business, is also dominated by men, eg: male doctors, ward boys, male interns/residents, and mostly men running ward boy and ayabai services. But I believe my work is unique and it speaks for itself, hence I don’t let the patriarchal system affect me. I am a committed, responsible person who knows how to handle herself in a male-dominated space and work towards making them respect me.
ST - What policies your company has adopted to support women at your workplace?
Geeta Kumana - My proprietorship Prime Health Support is run by me, a woman, hence the sensitivity and understanding towards other women is very high.Eg: If a nurse needs to take a day off or go home early from the client’s house because her child is alone at home, who better to understand that but a woman. Or if a child is sick and a ward boy needs to take his child to a hospital, understanding his disposition comes naturally to me.
Once my business grows, I will make surethat benefits like maternity leave, paternity leave, sexual harassment at the workplace and other rules safeguarding women are included in the organisation rules.
ST - How can working women manage both, home and work?
Geeta Kumana - This is not very difficult for me as I am an unmarried woman with no childrenor other responsibilities like elderly parents or in-laws. Though it must be very hard for married women with children or unmarried/singlewomen with children.
Being unmarried with no children, gives me a lot more time to concentrate on my business as I do not have the responsibility of looking after children or other relatives and can hence spend more time on my business development and growth.
ST - Do you think there must be at least one female co-founder, why?
Geeta Kumana - In India, patriarchy is so imbibed in our culture, that it is almost taken for granted that a woman will give up her job once she gets married and has children. Hence, very few women reach the top.
I believe it is very important that at least one woman should be a co-founder so that she is given the respect and her point of view can be heard.
In a patriarchal society like ours, barring a few enlightened or evolved men, work places are also usually influenced by the male way of approaching employees, especially women employees, which is matter-of-fact & detached. Women’s interactions on the other hand are characterised by much more compassion, caring & understanding, because they have higher EQs. The whole atmosphere changes when women are at the top of an organisation.
A work place with one more female co-founder will also ensure greater safety, and greater respect for women employees.
ST - As a women entrepreneur, What kind of support have you got from the government? What would you like to suggest?
Geeta Kumana - Prime Health Support is still growing and hasn’t really reached that stage where we can ask for support from the government. When we do, the first thing I would like the government to do is make women CEOs get as much as men CEOs as remuneration and women CEOs pay less tax when earning the same as men because very often, married women who are either separated or divorced tend to take their children with them and hence have the responsibility of looking after the house and the children. This requires much more money than divorced/separated men need. Hence, a woman needs to have a larger take-home salary by paying less tax than a man.
ST - Why do you think still women’s contribution is too less in the Indian start-up Community?
Geeta Kumana - In India, women are expected to give up their jobs to look after the children, whereas men are not expected to share this responsibility, though this is changing slowly. Men are given a lot more opportunities to start businesses than women. This leads to a skewed women-to-male ratio with the man being given every opportunity to do business and the woman expected to be a homemaker. And because a woman isn’t really encouraged to start a business or become head of a company, it is usually men who end up dictating terms to women and this in turn leads to very few women contributing to start-up businesses.
ST - If someone is stopping women to become an entrepreneur what advice do you have for her?
Geeta Kumana - I would advise her to take all the necessary measures like go to NGO’s that work towards women empowerment, or strong women friends who will stick by her beliefs and encourage her to become an entrepreneur.

Trustworthy and Timely Health Support by Prime Health Support
Geeta Kumana is the Founder of Prime Health Support. The organisation makes sure to take the senior citizens for regular doctor visits whenever they are called, buy their medication and make sure to train the care takers to give the necessary medication. After the doctor's appointment, she makes sure to send all the notes that have been taken down to the children through either WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger or Email, whatever suits the client.
Prime Health Support in Mumbai offers services related to Palliative care and emotional and physical wellbeing of senior citizens whose children or relatives do not live in Mumbai City.
Prime Health Support takes care of these seniors exactly like a relative or their own children would. We do not judge but will go the extra mile to make sure the senior citizen is not unwell for too long and is brought back in the Prime of Health as soon as possible.
Prime Health Support will only do as the concerned relatives ask the co-ordinator to do. Under no circumstances, do we make decisions on the action taken for the senior citizen. Eg., If a client insists that they do not want the senior citizen to go to hospital, we abide by and respect that decision. If a relative of the patient wants the patient to go to a specially recommended doctor, Prime Health Support will do the needful. Prime Health Support does not give any advice unless asked by the relative including names of doctors.
