Prayojana Essentials Plan

I am very grateful to Sriram and Kavitha for all the help they are extending in Bangalore. Few weeks ago, Sriram went above and beyond to get vaccination done for my parents. Now he is also helping my sibling. They are not commercially minded and fully focused on helping as much as they can. Highly appreciate their service in Bangalore.

My siblings and I reside in the US, while our elderly parents live in Chennai, India. In March, 2020, spurred on by the worldwide coronavirus situation, we decided to engage with Prayojana to take care of our parent’s increasing needs. We couldn't be happier with their services.
  Prayojana's approach has been unique. They first spent considerable time getting to know the family and understanding our goals. They, then, began providing services tuned to our specific situation and needs. They listened a lot. They were very open to new challenges and ideas. They were especially helpful during these Covid 19 times, and came through as excellent problem solvers when we were faced with some unique challenges. For instance, when the lockdowns began, and travel became highly restricted, they successfully planned and executed the logistics of regular food delivery to our parents.
  Venkat (our contact) and the others at Prayojana have been extremely pleasant to deal with. We never feel like we are dealing with a business, but, instead, with a group of friends aligned with our goals for the care of our parents. They visit our parents regularly to check on them, share our photos, blogs, and other communications when needed, and update us on the situation promptly. The interactions are always casual and non-intrusive. Over time, our parents have become very comfortable with their presence and their offer of help. This engagement has provided us tremendous peace of mind.

Our family was introduced to the concept of Prayojana (what an appropriate Indic name it is) by our good friend Vidhya Venkat here in Singapore, when we were clueless how we were going to manage the affairs of our frail parents in West Mambalam after they went back from Singapore post a series of health scares for my father. Honestly, we didn’t know what to expect but every interaction increased our trust in the good samaritans that have taken up this cause and they made our parents feel comfortable. After Mr. Prasad was assigned as our ‘care buddy’ he moved up the ladder from being a Prayojana care buddy to my proxy and literally a son to my parents. Such was the camaraderie, good nature, positive vibes that he brought to the table as well as his vast medical knowledge and contacts (having dealt with hospitals and doctors before), that he endeared himself to our family. We were literally talking to him daily on matters big and small. Amma trusted him to be on top of the dialysis sessions Appa had to go through as well as paying bills, withdrawing money from the ATM. At one point, our doctors knew Prasad better than they even knew me. The regular what’s app updates capturing all the details was so useful as well as the regular phone calls from Alamu and Anupama. Kudos to this team of individuals who came up with this concept and executing it. May Ishwara shower his infinite grace on this team to continue their great work.

My mother enrolled with Prayojana based on very positive feedback we had from their services in Chennai in Feb 2021. She has the distinction of being the first person from Bengaluru to be enrolled.

The help received by her is at several fronts including providing help and solutions for day-to-day issues such as plumbing, electrical, banking etc to providing a highly personal and emotional support on other general issues as well. I had the good fortune of participating in a lunch organized for a lot of members from Bengaluru along with my mother which gave a very good platform for the elders to socially interact particularly after COVID when everyone were locked indoors for several months. The highly personalized interactions that my mother is able to have with Prayojana team members gives her as well as me the confidence that though we are unfortunately not physically around to take care, there is someone who is able to fill in that gap quite well.

We have been using Prayojana services since last one year in Bengaluru for our ageing Parents. Until we chanced upon them, we were having so many issues on a daily basis that sometimes it felt that we would have to leave everything and return. But thanks to Prayojana team of Sriram and Kavitha, most of the issues are now resolved and things are much more settled now. Their regular visits have changed everything. Even Parents are feeling better and I can see substantial improvements in their overall well-being. We also had a few emergencies and the Prayojana team’s timely intervention helped managed the situations. They take care so well along with local elements and infrastructure that we really have peace of mind. What makes them different is just not their service standards but genuine attitude to really make a difference in elder care. They are really just a call away for us. Your team has made our lives so much better. Thank you 🙏🏽
