The world views the elder's life in shades of grey &
silver but I believe in a palette full of colours!

Neha Sinha is a dementia specialist who has garnered international acclaim for her pioneering work in developing dementia services in India. She began her illustrious career as a counselor with Sanjivini, a non-governmental organization based in Delhi dedicated to mental health. Her commitment and passion for mental health care soon led her to co-found Epoch Elder Care. 

Under Neha's guidance, Epoch Elder Care has flourished, becoming India's foremost authority in dementia care and assisted living for the elderly. With over a decade of experience, Epoch Elder Care is committed to providing compassionate and comprehensive care tailored to the unique needs of each individual and has become India’s expert in Dementia Care and Assisted Living for elders (www.epocheldercare.com).

In 2021, Age Care Labs, the platform anchored by Lumis to build, buy, and invest in businesses in senior care, acquired Epoch Elder Care. Since then, Epoch has more than doubled its capacity. Epoch has expanded its offerings to include dementia day care, dementia family consultations, caregiver training programs, awareness initiatives, and cognitive stimulation services. With this growth momentum, Epoch plans to expand even more aggressively over the next three years.

Neha was featured in the Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia list in 2016. She was a panelist and is one of the 100 selected worldwide participants to be invited to Dementia Forum X, which is under the patronage of Queen Silvia of Sweden at the Royal Palace of Stockholm. In this Forum, Neha has brought focus to the dementia-related challenges in India, as a developing country. Neha is a member of the Expert Committee constituted by the Senior Citizen Division, NISD, to support the development of a Qualification Pack (QP) and associated training curriculum for Senior Citizen Care. Given her experience and expertise, she has written many articles and is invited to speak at various forums on dementia and elder care at national and international forums.

Neha has always harbored a deep passion for working with the elderly, driven by a heartfelt commitment to making a difference in the field of dementia and elder care in India. Her journey began in the tender years of her childhood, profoundly influenced by the cherished presence of her grandparents, Dadu and Dida. As the only grandchild, Neha shared a unique and special bond with them, filled with moments of love, wisdom, and joy. This bond took a poignant turn one fateful day when her beloved grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. The diagnosis left an indelible mark on the young mind of Neha, stirring a sense of purpose and determination within her. Witnessing the gradual decline of her Dida, deeply affected Neha. 

As Neha grew older, her resolve to bring about positive change in the realm of elder care only strengthened. She immersed herself in understanding the intricacies of dementia, seeking ways to alleviate the challenges faced by those afflicted and their families. Her educational pursuits and professional endeavors were all aligned with her mission to enhance the quality of life for the elderly, especially those battling cognitive impairments.

Enterprising Neha has the farsightedness to improve the lives of people with dementia and is endowed with sensitivity, belief, grit, and passion for establishing eldercare homes that provide comfort and happiness to elders. The world views the elder’s life in shades of grey and silver, but she believes in a palette full of colors.

As is rightly said, “Culture eats strategy over breakfast”; Neha has accorded a distinctive culture at Epoch homes, advocating the laws of gratitude, recognition, and integrity. Neha envisions creating access to global standards of elder care in India. Deep at heart, her goal is to lessen the stigma associated with dementia and assisted living for elders. She spends time educating people that dementia is a demanding condition and that one must reach out for professional care for their parents 

The entrepreneur in Neha thrives on the challenge of solving complex problems, finding delight in tackling issues head-on with innovative solutions. Her courage and determination shine through as she boldly stands up against stereotypes and voices unpopular beliefs, advocating for a more inclusive and compassionate approach to elder care. 


Neha, through her articles, webinars, conferences, and podcasts, passionately addresses the importance of eldercare and dementia care. She focuses on breaking stigmas associated with aging and educates people on various aspects of supporting the elderly. Her efforts aim to foster a more informed and compassionate society, where the needs and dignity of the elderly are respected and prioritized.


Neha’s academic and professional background is a testament to her commitment to this cause. She holds a master’s degree in clinical psychology. Further enhancing her expertise, she has undergone specialized training in palliative care from Stockholm, Sweden, where she learned advanced techniques in providing comfort and support to those with life-limiting illnesses. Beyond her professional pursuits, Neha has a zest for life that extends to her personal interests. She is passionate about music and traveling, finding joy and inspiration in exploring new places and embracing thrilling experiences. This adventurous spirit and her dedication to her mission make Neha a formidable force in the field of dementia and elder care. She is a mother of 3, twin boys, and a beautiful Indie!
