Arun Paul, Founder & CEO, Priya Living

Arun Paul is building what India’s real estate sector has long overlooked: multigenerational living communities where independence, dignity, and belonging are central to design.

What distinguishes Priya Living is its blend of international senior-living best practices with Indian cultural realities. These are not sterile care facilities, but vibrant, multigenerational communities centred on wellness and social connection. He spent decades working on what he describes as “placemaking” creating environments that go beyond buildings to shape how people feel and live.

Drawing on global experience across business development, real estate, and operations, Paul is addressing the emerging intersection of real estate, healthcare, and urban planning, an opportunity as India’s population ages.
